I've known I was bi since middle school, but I never thought I'd act on my attraction to men.

I never thought I'd be raising my two kids alone, either

A grumpy mechanic might not make the best single dad, but the kids aren't complaining. Maybe because they're never home. Teenagers.

Then a fresh start falls into my lap when the hottest man I've ever seen gets stuck on the side of the road. And if I can't forget the feel of Micah's arms around me when he rode on the back of my bike…well, nobody needs to know about that except me.

But then Micah introduces me to worlds I've never been a part of before. Worlds with ropes and explosive chemistry and adventures even bigger than our rides in the Southern California sunshine. Pursuing him feels like the biggest risk I've ever taken, and that's before I learn about his past.

I hope we can hang on when the ride gets bumpy.

JAKE is an angsty opposites-attract Romance in the Single Dads of Gaynor Beach world with a grumpy mechanic, a sunshiney high school teacher with a secret, size difference and a few first times, and three teenagers who are more perceptive than their parents bargained for.
