Not Your Practice Husband

For fifteen years, Daniel Mercer has been everything to his best friend. Everything except the man Evan chooses.

Daniel has a key to Evan Shaw's house. His own slippers by the radiator. A drawer full of clothes. He knows how Evan takes his coffee, when he's pretending he's fine, and exactly what to say when life gets difficult.

Then Evan's girlfriend calls Daniel his practice husband.

Two words are enough to make Daniel realize he's spent fifteen years giving Evan all the tenderness of a marriage without any hope of being loved back. So he returns the key, clears out his drawer, and starts building a life that's finally his own.

Evan has always thought he knew who he was. But the empty space Daniel leaves behind forces him to confront a truth he's spent years refusing to see: the person he wants isn't a woman he's dating. It's the man who's been beside him all along.

One devastating kiss changes everything.

Daniel isn't willing to become Evan's experiment—or lose himself in the process. If Evan wants to explore what's between them, there will be six rules. No falling back into old habits. No fixing Daniel's problems without asking. No pretending this means more than it does.

But fifteen years of longing don't disappear just because someone writes down the rules.

And as friendship turns into something fiercely intimate, Evan has to prove he wants Daniel as an equal partner—not simply as the man who has always been there to catch him.

Not Your Practice Husband is a steamy, emotional MM friends-to-lovers romance featuring bisexual awakening, fifteen years of pining, hard-won boundaries, intense chemistry, found family, and a guaranteed happy ending.
