Broke His Straight Heart: A Bi-Awakening Friends-to-Lovers Romance

Evan Mercer fixes crises for a living. As a financial planner, he’s calm, composed, and ruthlessly organized. He’s also spent the last fourteen years quietly, hopelessly in love with his straight best friend. When Noah’s marriage unexpectedly implodes, Evan does what he always does: he opens his door, offers his guest room, and expertly locks down his own heart. He can survive a few weeks of close proximity. He’s a professional at surviving Noah Ramsey.

Noah has always been the dependable one. The solid construction estimator, the devoted father, the reliable husband. But standing in his best friend’s kitchen with his life packed into three boxes, the foundation of his identity is cracking. And the more time he spends in Evan’s quiet, steady orbit, the more Noah realizes his failed marriage might not have been about a lack of effort, but a complete misunderstanding of what he actually wants.

Suddenly, the casual touches they’ve shared for a decade feel like live wires. Noah is looking at Evan differently, and the devastating realization hits him: the heat he’s been missing his entire adult life has been sitting across the table from him since he was twenty-four years old.

But Evan has been someone's secret before, and he refuses to be the man Noah loves in the dark and erases in the light. If Noah wants to cross the line, he has to be brave enough to hold Evan's hand in public—or risk losing the best thing he never knew he had.

Broke His Straight Heart is a high-heat, high-emotion M/M romance featuring a cluelessly pining single dad, a hyper-competent crisis manager, deep slow-burn tension, and a fiercely earned happily-ever-after.
