Extended Stay

2022

I’ve never been interested in a man before. So why do I want to kiss this one? Promising my sick uncle I’d help fix his rundown hotel in San Diego was just the beginning of my problems. I plan to do what I can, convince him to sell, and then take off, returning to my calm and structured existence back east. I double down on that plan when I arrive to find it in worse shape than I expected. Unfortunately, my plans go awry when I fall for the quaint neighborhood, quirky locals, and loyal employees. That’s when he enters my world. A contractor down on his luck, looking for work and a place to stay, offers me an offer too good to pass up. He makes me feel things I never have before, and now I’m considering hanging around much longer than intended. As long days turn into even longer nights, I can’t force myself to leave him. His presence turns my carefully planned world upside down, and before I know it, my quick trip becomes an Extended Stay. Extended Stay is a double bi/gay awakening, opposites attract, slow burn romance starring a laid back contractor and the buttoned up hotel owner who hires him. It is book 1 in the California Crush series, featuring tan lines, thick thighs, and plenty of hot guys. Book your vacation and meet the men of Hillcrest Hideaway.

With me by his side, I'll show Charles all there is to love about his new life in Southern California, and if I'm lucky, he'll take down his Do Not Disturb sign and let me in.

I just have to get through his week-long stay, and then I can go back to forgetting he exists. Until he drops the truth on me. Turns out, he’s not as straight as he thought, and the crush wasn’t one-sided.
