Final Boy at Randy's

2024

I don’t like him. Reed Chambers reminds me of every guy who was ever a jerk to me. With his drop dead good looks and overly confident stroll. His quiet, cold eyes that send shivers across my shoulders. But since we’re stuck together working on an indie horror movie that is my brother’s entire life's passion, not to mention that the guy is my best friend’s new fling, I guess I should give him a chance. The thing is… I don’t want to. Then we get caught in the dark. Alone. Only the circles of our flashlights to see. Our words drop into whispers as he leans in closer, warmth brushing my forearm. A spark flutters in my chest. His breath catches. And the only thing I can think is, “Oh, fu\*k.” Love beyond the binary, serving up trans romances at Randy's Diner Final Boy at Randy’s is a medium-angst standalone m/m best friend’s boyfriend, opposites attract romance with a boundary-pushing MUA, a condemned hotel that might or might not be haunted, and a misunderstood jock with a stomach dropping smile and secrets of his own.

Temptation at Randy's

2024

New beginnings didn’t usually come with a side of temptation. Arlene The last thing I would’ve expected when I dared to attend a local munch at my favorite diner was to run into one of my favorite YouTubers. Claude wasn’t part of the munch, as far as I could tell, and they hadn’t posted anything in forever, but they still approached me. Me. It was a miracle I didn’t lose it right then and there. Claude Despite what my friends from LA said, I didn’t regret moving to Boston. It had started as an attempt to run away from a PR crisis I hadn’t known how to handle, but I liked it here. I’d found a safe haven at Randy’s, and people to surround myself with. People to surround myself with shouldn’t have included a financial advisor with a sweet tooth and gorgeous eyes, but… Here we were. Temptation at Randy’s is a low angst T4T F/X romance that reads as a standalone.
