SALVAGE

Some things you don't fix. You rebuild.

Eli Rourke came back to Halford to bury his brother and sign away his half of the shop. He didn't plan on the man who came with it.

Eli left this dead-end mill town at eighteen and never looked back - running from a family and a life he could never measure up to. Now his brother is gone, a custom motorcycle shop he never wanted is suddenly half his, and the only thing standing between Eli and a clean getaway is the will Jesse left behind.

Marco Tavares owns the other half. Tattooed, ex-con quiet, he wants exactly one thing less than Eli in his shop: Jesse's kid brother wearing Jesse's boots and looking at him with Jesse's eyes. Marco has been keeping the doors open in the dark, and he'll burn the place down before he lets it go - or lets anyone close enough to see what it's cost him.

Six weeks to finish the last bike Jesse ever built. A debt Eli never knew he'd inherited. A soft-voiced man who never has to raise his voice. And two grieving men reaching for each other over the one man they both loved - when wanting each other feels a lot like robbing his grave.

Some nights the only thing that quiets the noise is the last person either of them should touch.

SALVAGE is a steamy, standalone MM romance: grief and grease, a dead brother's best friend, forced proximity, and a slow burn that runs hot. Guaranteed HEA. No cliffhanger.

Tropes: dead brother's best friend • hurt/comfort • forced co-ownership • found family • grumpy/guarded x restless • tattooed ex-con • small-town grief-noir
