Bernie: A Coffee Shop MM Romance

Years after coffee shop owner Bernie lost the only man he's ever loved, he's vowed never again to risk his heart. Who'd want it? It's too battered, bruised, and broken.

A bungled street robbery leaves Jared injured and bloodied on Bernie's doorstep. Bernie's instinct is to offer help and protection, but Jared wants neither. Just like he doesn't want the law or doctors involved. He's had enough of police and hospitals to last a lifetime.

As fast as Jared bursts into Bernie's life, he's gone, leaving Bernie with the gnawing conviction something precious has slipped through his fingers.

Their paths cross again in a way neither could have foreseen. Can Bernie learn to love again, and can Jared learn to trust?
