Boiling Point: 3 (Brooklyn Boys)

Ricky: 
My double life is crumbling around me. Denying who I am isnt fair on anyone: the girls I tried so hard to date the guys Im too afraid to flirt with or my family who dont know the truth. Im afraid of coming out to my mom--but if I dont Ill remain in fear that shell find out from someone else. Im torn between expectation and truth and Im not sure I can keep hiding behind a cocky grin. Im not ready for the gorgeous guy who challenges me in my own diner. His every word turns me on and Im drawn to him like a moth to flame but if I get so close that anyone finds out were both going to end up burned. Cedar: Im too clumsy to hold onto anything good. Everything I touch breaks and now Im dependent on my exs good graces. He runs our urban gardening charity and his dad pays my rent. I do the dirty work which is all Im good for: I dig holes and plant seeds. Standing up for myself feels impossible so I start easy. At least it was supposed to be. The cocky cook who couldnt crisp up my bacon sure crisped up my sausage. Everyone knows closeted guys are a risk and Im great at scaring people away. But Ricky gives me the strength to be me and I cant stop falling for him. Not even chipped Brooklyn sidewalks can stop true love blooming. Boiling Point is book three in the Brooklyn Boys series where good men find their happily ever afters in a hectic metropolis. It has an HEA and no cliffhanger. There will be awkward first times cops at the door hiding in thrift store racks a trouble-making bouquet a mamas boy coming home and an uncontrolled flame.
