Pumpkin Spice & Sweat: A Grumpy Sunshine Bisexual Awakening MM Romance

Gage Mercer knows exactly how to build strength, but he has no idea how to save his failing neighborhood gym. To keep Forge & Field from going under, he launches a six-week fitness challenge that brings a fresh wave of locals through his doors—including the ridiculously charming barista from the café across the street. Gage thrives on control and routine, and Milo Reyes is a distraction he definitely can't afford.

Milo has spent his entire life being pleasant, accommodating, and perfectly legible. When he signs up for the gym challenge on a whim, he expects to be miserable. What he doesn't expect is Gage: intense, guarded, and watching Milo with the kind of focused attention that makes him want to stop being easy and start being honest. Specifically, about the fact that he's unexpectedly, overwhelmingly attracted to his gruff new coach.

As the challenge pushes Milo out of his comfort zone, the heat between them builds until neither can ignore it. But Gage is hiding a corporate buyout offer that could save his business at the cost of its soul, and he’s terrified that letting someone in means losing everything he’s built. Milo is ready to fight for them, but he won't be a secret or a sideline. To keep the man who helped him find his confidence, Gage will have to do the one thing he's never done: drop his armor and ask for a spot.
