Understanding Desire by Quinn Ward

They were both filled with regrets over the night they accidentally wound up in bed together. When they realize the chemistry is real, the fun begins…

Tanner has never forgotten the night he let his impulsive nature get the best of him… or the look on Ryan’s face the morning after. He was certain he’d blown any chance of turning his fantasies into reality. When he’s forced to face his brother’s best friend, he has no clue how much his life is going to change.
Ryan kept his life packed into different boxes. When he was back home, he was the All-American boy next door. No one knew how much he craved hearing a boy call him Daddy. But it wasn’t any boy he wanted… it was the one man he needed to stay far away from. There was no way his best friend would give them his blessing if he knew all the things Ryan wanted to do to Tanner.
The moment Tanner confesses to wanting all the things Ryan has to offer, what was supposed to be a weekend of exploration turns into something neither of them can give up. Will Ryan find a way to help Tanner become the boy he’s meant to be with them living on opposite sides of the country?
