Mending the Cracks by Alice Crane

Three lives, one haunted past and an unexpected love to mend the cracks

Months after being falsely accused of his sister’s murder, sent to prison, and finally found innocent, Rohan Harris still feels very alone in the world. But developing a crush on his new, very straight, sort-of boss at the same time he’s beginning a satisfying arrangement with a handsome veterinarian—who happens to be his boss’s best friend—makes him start questioning whether his loneliness might be coming to an end.
Dante Alesci’s relationship with his best friend, Kellan, is one of the cornerstones of his life, constant and unshakeable, but it has never been romantic. Then Dante takes someone new to his bed, and doe-eyed Rohan inadvertently makes him look at Kellan in a whole new light—turning Dante’s entire world upside down.
Kellan Sinclair has always been secure in the fact that he is one hundred percent straight. He likes women, and he didn’t think anything could make him change his mind. That is, until his new employee, Rohan, has him questioning what he’s always taken for granted about himself. Then Kellan stumbles upon his best friend, Dante, in the middle of a sexy scene—and the questions he’s asking about himself now include questions about the friend he can’t afford to lose. Kellan realises that figuring out just how straight he is—or isn’t—may have very high stakes.
Just as the three men have reached a point where it seems like they might be finding the answers to their questions in each other, Rohan’s dark past comes calling. And a whole new question takes over: the question of whether they’re all going to survive long enough to see their happily ever after.
