Michael’s Release by Quinn Ward

From friendship to romance, a single dad and his best friend redefine love in Harmony Grove

I didn’t plan on being a forty-something single parent, but here we are. Billy’s always been my rock, supporting me through thick and thin, even when he could have turned his back on me. But lately, my feelings for him have shifted into uncharted territory.
What started as Billy helping me relax quickly turns intimate, uncovering desires I’ve refused to acknowledge. He’s my safe space, allowing me to explore a world where someone else takes the lead. I’m terrified, but there’s no one else I’d rather give this piece of myself to.
Torn between our feelings and our fears, we face an impossible choice: risk everything for love or retreat to the safety of our former lives.

Will these steadfast friends finally take the leap into lifelong love? Immerse yourself in this emotional friends-to-lovers gay romance that proves home is wherever your heart is.

Michael’s Release is the third book in the Heart of Harmony Grove series. This small town in the Midwest features strong family connections, both biological and found, well-meaning but meddling friends, and just a dash of kink to spice things up.
