Becoming Built by TH Compton

A story doesn’t need a villain when you are your own worst enemy.

Emmett:
I shouldn’t be jealous of my best friend’s relationship. Can’t I just be left alone, but not lonely? I used to run my bar and felt on top of the world. In pain and partially paralyzed, I am not the man I used to be. Honestly, I am downright miserable, trapped in a cage of my own making and the only man that’s shown any interest in me for years works for me and drives me crazy. I know I have to make changes and start to live again, but I’m terrified.

James:
Another new start with a new job along with some very inappropriate thoughts about my new boss. He is grouchy and gorgeous with his crooked smile. I know he thinks being with me would be a mistake, but I think some no strings attached fun is exactly what he needs. I never stay in one place long, but being around him makes me want to put down roots and have him tie me to the tree.
