Silver (Fox) Linings

Workaholic retail CEO, Kenneth Tyler, is minding his own business when he receives a plea for help from an unknown number. Unable to ignore it, the last thing he expects is to discover that the number belongs to his best friend's son. (His best friend's very off-limits son.)

Of course, Cody Barratt is infatuated enough with his dad's best friend before the man swoops in and saves his drunken self from a handsy Grindr date. It's even harder to kick those feelings to the curb after that, even if he knows he should. They're just not compatible.

The silver fox won't ever reciprocate his interest. Especially not when 45-year-old Kenneth is a notorious playboy and Cody is, embarrassingly, still a virgin at 26.

But, after unexpectedly bonding over a fantasy TV series, Ken and Cody discover that friendships can come with multiple benefits and, if they get their heads out of their butts, possibly even love...all in time for Valentine's Day.

CWs: While Silver (Fox) Linings is a low-angst, sweet & fluffy MM novella, it does include a brief on-page scene involving an aggressive/demanding Grindr date. There are also themes/discussions of anxiety, self-doubt, and low self-confidence.
