Poolside (Signed Edition)

Divorce left Tommy Littleton shaken. He thought he’d checked all the boxes in his marriage, but none of it mattered when “love” was left out. With nothing else to show for his life, Tommy will stop at nothing to get a promotion–even if it means participating in an open-water swim to impress his boss. Unfortunately, he looks like a drowning raccoon in the water. Good thing his best friend is a swim coach.

Chuck McCormac knows how the world sees him: the easy-going friend and the successful head coach of the Southeastern University swim team. After years of hiding his sexuality, Chuck is ready to be his most authentic self and find a partner. When he comes out to his college friends, he’s met with love and support. What he doesn’t expect is Tommy’s curiosity–or the heated kiss that turns into deeper questioning.

Chuck thought his unrequited crush on Tommy would always stay that way, but when Tommy expresses his interest, Chuck isn’t sure if he can trust that his friend’s feelings are real. Tommy might be ready to dive in, but Chuck is afraid that what he’s hiding could muddy the water between them.

Poolside is a friends-to-lovers romance filled with vulnerable men who watch Spartacus together, accepting friends, healing, an opossum under a house, and, ultimately, two people who fight for a future together—in and out of the water.
