The Cabin Comes First: A Small Town MM Romance

Drew Sloane is a Manhattan attorney whose entire life is optimized, color-coded, and safely isolated. But when a late-night impulse leads him to buy an abandoned Adirondack cabin sight unseen, he arrives at Lake Marigold expecting a quiet, easy retreat. Instead, he finds a rotting porch, a feral garden, a massive dog who immediately claims him, and Beck Vale.

Beck is the local groundskeeper who has been maintaining the property for nine years. He’s patient, fiercely protective of the lake, and built like a lumberjack. He also infuriates Drew with his effortless competence and frustratingly calm demeanor.

When a torrential storm traps them together without power, the simmering tension between the sharp-tongued lawyer and the steady, capable groundskeeper boils over into a blistering, undeniable connection.

But the cabin is under threat. A corrupt homeowners' association wants to seize the property for a lucrative resort development, and Drew’s Manhattan instincts are telling him to build an airtight legal case and plan his exit strategy. But Beck is asking him to do the one thing he’s never done: stay.

To save the cabin—and the man who makes him feel like he finally has a home—Drew will have to risk the one thing he can’t afford to lose. His heart.

The Cabin Comes First is a steamy, medium-burn MM romance featuring opposites attracting, forced proximity, a very good dog, and a hard-fought happily ever after.
