Work hard, play harder? Not when it’s my name on the side of the building and my family’s legacy. Unfortunately, my parents think I need a break, specifically in the form of a nonrefundable, nontransferable, nonnegotiable forced vacation. Which sounds awful until a handsome hipster drops into the seat next to me on the plane. He isn’t my type, but there’s something magnetic about him, and in a totally out-of-character move, I ask him to stay with me for the week. Cole thinks everything is an adventure and wants to pull me along for the ride, but when things heat up between us, I wonder if maybe the risk I took asking him to stay is actually a hazard to my heart. Can a vacation fling turn into more once we’re back to business as usual? I guess there’s only one way to find out… The Time-Out is book one in the LGBTQ+ Business as Usual series and features Oscar—a CEO who has forgotten to make time to live, Cole—a data analyst who treats everyday like an adventure, and a chance meeting that leads to a week of discovery and a happily ever after.
