Wedding Season
Sean Ashcroft - 2017
As the heir to his family's fortune, his future is already pre-arranged: a partner will be picked for him based on what’s best for the family business. When he meets Oz at his sister’s wedding, he thinks the other man—his new brother-in-law—might just be fun for the night. But then one wedding turns into two, and two turns into three, and before Seth knows it, he’s falling in love with a man he can’t have, one social event at a time. Oz is tired of having his heart broken. He’s been so focused on finding someone to settle down and be happy with that he’s thrown himself into one bad relationship after another, looking for a partner he’s no longer sure he can find. Seth proves to be a great distraction, a casual fling Oz doesn’t have to take seriously… until he realises he’s falling in love with a man he knows he can’t have. With Seth’s father putting pressure on him to marry someone else, he’s faced with an impossible choice: lose Oz forever, or leave the security of his family behind and make his own way in the world. Can Seth take a leap of faith into Oz’s arms? Or will he choose safety and security over the man he loves? Wedding Season is a standalone gay romance with a HEA ending. It does not contain a cliffhanger, but it does contain two cowboy hats, an oversized adult toy, four weddings, explicit sex scenes, and everything being bigger in Texas.
