Role Play (Dear Lonely Guy #1)

Elliot

One night. One anonymous night so I can know what it's like to make love to a man. That was all it was ever supposed to be, but as soon as that sexy, mysterious stranger touched me, I knew one night wouldn't be enough. He's the first guy -- the first person I've been with since my wife died, and I could tell he was something special from the moment we met.

Then again, I married my high school sweetheart. Maybe I just suck at hookups.

I guess we're about to find out, because that gorgeous man has walked into my life again, and he's brought all of his baggage with him.

I don't do relationships. At least not since the last guy told me my family was less important than his comfort. I'm not about to put the people I love through that again, even if it's for some adorkable teacher who's doing everything in his power to help my nephew feel at ease.

Problem is, I can't stop thinking about him. It doesn't matter what I try to get him out of my system. He's the only one I want.

Maybe things could be different this time. Maybe I could let myself have this one thing. And hope to God it doesn't break me.
