Sucker Love
About
Noel
I’m impossible to love.
At least, that’s what my ex-boyfriend said after he moved out and left me short on next month’s rent. Luckily, I find a sexy solution in the form of Luca, a tattoo artist looking for a place to crash. He’s older, hot, a little awkward…and he’s also in the middle of a divorce.
Whatever. All I know is, my new roommate leaves me absolutely breathless. Our arrangement benefits us in more ways than one...as long as I can keep it together. He’s sweeter than I deserve, but that’s only because he doesn’t know how broken I really am. Once he figures that out, he’ll leave.
Everybody does.
Luca
Meeting someone like Noel is the last thing I expected after separating from my wife. But I can’t help being drawn to him. He’s gorgeous, talented, and unapologetically himself—something I’ve struggled with my entire life.
Moving in with him may be impulsive, but it is convenient. And our chemistry is next level. Yeah, he’s bit of a brat, but this complicated man is showing me everything I’ve denied myself for years. Falling for him feels almost inevitable.
But when my past threatens everything, it’s easy to fall back on familiar patterns—and playing it safe could cost me the one person who’s ever really seen me.
SUCKER LOVE, Book 1 in the Sugar Pill Duet, is a 95k-word FWB-to-lovers MM romance between a bold art student and a closeted tattoo artist eight years his senior—and they're doing a terrible job of keeping things casual. Expect mess, angst and steam in spades.
