Jared Sanderson has spent his life wanting to be a hero. That's why he became a cop. It was a life that kept him busy and organized without any worry about long-term romantic relationships. Those were best left to his three brothers. Life was simple until Jared nipped his old high school friend, Quinn, at the Fun Run finish line. Quinn Martin left the small town of Lincolnport as a high school senior and cut all of his social ties, including a casual friendship with Jared. A lingering sense of guilt about a disaster in the past kept Quinn away from the idea of committed dating relationships while his professional inn-keeping career prospered. Meeting again as two out gay adults in the best physical condition of their lives causes the old smoldering attraction between Jared and Quinn to kindle into a flame. Unfortunately, Quinn's secret and Jared's doubts conspire in an attempt to sink the new relationship. A Man for Jared is a 58,000-word gay friends to lovers romance with strong family relationship themes. Suicidal thoughts and deaths caused by drunk driving play a role in the plot. This is the second book in the Sanderson Brothers series following A Song for Noah. All of the books can be read as standalone stories, but they are best read as a continuing series about the Sanderson family including all four brothers as characters in each novel.
