Complicated Love by Jerry Cole

Aaron Lestrat is a messy, slightly neurotic artist with a meddling best friend, a nosy sister, and a life he’s very happy with. That is, until he wakes up one morning to find the nerves in his legs aren’t working. Doctors tell him he has MS, and his entire life gets turned upside down. His best friend, Aaliyah, is doing her best to keep him out of trouble and get him out of his head when she invites him to meet her at a bar with some other friends. Aaron isn’t looking for romance. He just wants to focus on getting his life back to normal, but he didn’t count on the guy across the table being quite so irresistible.

Roman Williams was a star football player until he decided it was no longer worth the risks to his brain. He retired, got a degree, and took a job in the mining industry. He’s lonely and still trying to figure out his life, but he has money, a nice condo, and friends. The only black spot is his relationship with his family. Being thousands of miles away from them, he’s quickly found his place in Denver. He’s finally out of the closet, ready to date, and completely unsure of how to go about it. When he meets Aaron, everything just clicks… at least until Aaron mysteriously refuses to see him. Everyone has secrets, shame and baggage. Will Aaron and Roman work through it all in order to make a life together?
