The Invention of Wings

2023

_♥ Small Town MM Romance ♥ Second Chance at Love ♥ Enemies-to-Lovers ♥ Found Family_ MITCH ‘Wings’. That was the nickname they gave me in the lead-up to the Olympics. I was ready to take home the gold for figure skating, ready to make all my dreams come true… all but one… the dream of finding true love. That dream ended the night I lost the only man I ever wanted, betrayed by fear, by doubt, by him. It was a moment that led to my downfall on the ice rink and the ultimate humiliation. And so I did what any broken spirit would do… I fled my hometown of Mulligan’s Mill, determined never to return. That is until I got the call from Doc Morgan, letting me know that my sister Maggie’s hoarding habit was getting out of control. Now it seems Mulligan’s Mill is calling me back… back to face the past. Is it possible for a fallen hero to find his dignity once more? Is it possible for a man to return home and not make the same mistakes twice? Is it possible to pretend the past never even existed… or was I destined to re-live it all over again? GAGE He was the rising star of the ice-skating rink. I was the captain of the football team with a bright future under the Friday night lights. We had everything… promise, potential, each other. Then one night I freaked out, I pushed him away, and nothing was ever the same again. In the years since Mitch had left Mulligan’s Mill, my life was turned upside-down by a family tragedy. Now, as the sole carer of my wheelchair-bound niece Ginny, I spend every waking hour working part-time jobs to keep the roof over our heads. I barely get a minute to think about my shattered dreams of becoming a football star… but I still think about him… every single day. When I find out that Mitch is returning to Mulligan’s Mill, the news triggers a wave of excitement and regret. Was what we had real, or just a foolish young fling? Would the flame re-ignite once more if we saw each other on the street, or would he turn around and walk away like we never met? Would I finally find the courage to talk to him again, or would fear get the better of me just like it did on the night I broke both our hearts? The Invention of Wings is the first book in a Small Town MM Romance series set in Mulligan’s Mill… a small town with big hearts!

♥ Small Town MM Romance ♥ Best Friends-to-Lovers ♥ Opposites Attract ♥ Hurt / Comfort ♥ Found Family RIVER It's been way too long since I set foot on the streets of Mulligan’s Mill. I know that better than anyone. But after serving six years in the Marines I just wasn’t ready to return home, so I got myself a motorcycle and spent another two years driving across the country, sleeping under the stars, avoiding the idea of going back until I was finally ready—ready to see my father again, ready to try and forget what had happened during my deployment overseas, hoping that reuniting with my best friend Clarry would wash away all the hurt and help me start over again. Sure, we’re an odd match, me and Clarry. I’m a war hero and built like a tank, while he’s still the sweet, sensitive, chubby kid he was at school, only now he runs the town’s ice cream parlor. While we’re a classic case of opposites attract, it’s his kindness and creativity that I’ve always loved most about him. But when Clarry and I finally get together after all these years apart, things are kinda weird. There’s a distance between us that has me worried our relationship has changed. I can’t put my finger on it, but the more I feel like I’m losing my best friend, the more desperately I’ll fight to have him in my life… to keep him safe… to hold him close. CLARRY Oh fudgesicles! River is back in town and although I want to see him more than anything else in the world, I’m also terrified that I’ll make a complete fool of myself in front of him… or that he’s forgotten who I even am… or worse still, that my lifelong secret crush on him will somehow surface and he’ll never want to speak to me again. I’m determined to play it cool, to stay calm, to focus on what I do best which is make ice creams and hide my true feelings beneath my happy, friendly smile. But like a scoop of Cherry Berry Bubblegum Bliss melting in the sun, I can feel my confidence dripping away and my terrified true feelings beginning to show. Will I be able to stay as cool as a cone of Twirly Swirly Snickerdoodle Sundae… or will I fudge it all up and ooze into his strong arms like an Ooey Gooey Gooseberry Gobsmacker? If I do blurt out my feelings for my best friend, will he stay strong and steadfast and reject my undying love for him? Or could there be a bend in River?
