“Whether making my heart melt or my head burst into flames, Annabeth Albert draws the reader in and keeps them captivated.” -Gay Book Reviews
The sexy Navy chief and his best friend's adorkable little brother...
It's petty, but Naval Chief Derrick Fox wishes he could exact a little revenge on his ex by showing off a rebound fling. His submarine is due to return to its Bremerton, Washington, home base soon and Derrick knows all too well there won't be anyone waiting with a big, showy welcome.
Enter one ill-advised plan...
Arthur Euler is the guy you go to in a pinch-he's excellent at out-of-the-box solutions. It's what the genius music-slash-computer nerd is known for. So when he finds out Derrick needs a favor, he's happy to help. He can muster the sort of welcome a Naval Chief deserves, no problem at all.
Except it is a problem. A very big problem.
When Arthur's homecoming welcome is a little too convincing, when a video of their gangplank smooch goes enormously viral, they're caught between a dock and a hard place. Neither of them ever expected a temporary fake relationship to look-or feel-so real. And Arthur certainly never considered he'd be fighting for a very much not-fake forever with a military man.
Carina Adores is home to romantic love stories where LGBTQ+ characters find their happily-ever-afters.
