He Had Two


Jeremy Jenkins - 2020
    It all started with a quick, anonymous bathroom hookup. College was all about trying new things (and people), right? But he kept something…extra hidden in his pants. Something big. I didn’t catch a glimpse of it. Not then. In fact, I never thought I’d see him again. But he reappeared as the stand-in professor for my physics class and I learned some things: 1. He’s just as dreamy as I remembered, Seneca Crane beard and all. 2. He studies meteorology. Meaning, when he’s not in the classroom, he’s chasing tornadoes. 3. He’s way older than me, and way out of my league. But we lock eyes and the chemistry’s still there. Then he asks to come to his office. What he tells me there... it shakes me to the core. Nothing will ever be the same. ***Author’s Note: This is a standalone MM romance novel between a hot-as-hell storm chaser and a young, curious undergrad. Fast burn, age gap, high adventure, and fluffy feels. Spicy scenes hotter than a jar of jalapeños. Low on angst, high on action, heat, and feels. No cheating and HEA guaranteed.
