Homecoming by Avery Ford

He’s straight. He’s my best friend. He’s my date for the weekend. Best plan ever? Or recipe for disaster?

Josh McAllister’s life has just been turned upside down. Dumped by his boyfriend and passed over for the promotion he had earned, he was pretty sure he’d hit rock bottom. Except no… that would come when he had to attend his cousin’s wedding without a date. When he had to endure the inevitable whispers and the pitying looks. He just needed a break. A friendly face. A chance to breathe. And then, maybe he could start to put his life back together again.
Kevin Duncan has been on a losing streak. A long one. He lost his dad to a long, painful illness, and lost his college scholarship when he had to drop out and become the bread winner. He’ll probably lose his job any day now, and then he might just lose his mind. He’s been living in his own private hell for the past two years, but when a blast from his past walks into his bar one night, Kevin finally starts to remember what it felt like to win. What it felt like to be alive.
The two best friends promised to always have each other’s backs, but life somehow got in the way. Now they’ve been reunited just when they happen to need each other the most. Kevin has always looked out for Josh. Josh needs Kevin’s help in a way he never could have imagined. It takes a trip back home—and back down memory lane—to make them realize that the friendship they almost lost is the most important thing in their lives. But what happens when one of them wants more?
