Manny and Me by Avery Ford

Sebastian Shallotte is determined to be respectable. He’s just graduated with the most boring degree ever – Accounting – and he’s looking for something that will put his knack with numbers to use. He wants a normal, quiet life in the suburbs with a white picket fence and 2.5 kids, and the skeletons in his closet will just have to be buried very, very deeply in the back of his closet.

Douglas McAlpern has never had a relationship that’s lasted longer than two or three months, but while he accepts that he’s just not cut out to be someone’s romantic partner, he isn’t about to give up on his dream of being a dad. When a family friend agrees to surrogate for him, he’s finally able to hold his own child in his arms…but having a baby means that he needs to hire some help.

Sebastian can’t find work in his field. Douglas can’t stay at home with his son. It seems like a match made in heaven, until Douglas realizes that Sebastian sets every one of his senses alight…and Sebastian’s secret comes tumbling out of the woodwork.
