Overview

MARK: Two things are off the menu: straight men and delicious food. As luck would have it, those are the first temptations I encounter when I return to my hometown to help renovate the family house. It turns out that Winchester has a warm welcome for me, and his name is Carter. But thinking about love would be a lot easier if I weren’t so worried about my weight. My homecoming starts with a broken-down car just as I arrive, and of course Carter is the first person to drive by. He’s even fitter and sexier than when I left. I thought those piercing eyes were only for the ladies, but I was wrong. Oh so wrong. We want each other, but I’m not sure if I deserve a guy like Carter. Maybe it’s time to show him what my body can really do. I might be cutting calories, but Carter’s one indulgence I can’t refuse. CARTER: Mark thinks he needs to slim down, but I’d rather see him strip down. I missed my chance in high school, and I never thought I’d see Mark again. But he’s back in town and looking better than ever. When I give his car a jump, sparks fly, and he’s even more charming than I remember. Luckily, I’m the contractor renovating his grandma’s house, which means we’ll be seeing a lot of each other. I don’t care about labels. I want Mark, and I can’t hide my excitement. He’s the one who got away. I want to give him the romance we missed out on in high school. But Mark is holding back. I like him at any weight, but he’s determined to change himself. His dedication makes me hot, but I want him to know that I find him sexy no matter what. Mark says he wants a workout partner, and I hope clothing is optional. This is the first book in the Worth the Weight series. It can be enjoyed as a standalone with no cliffhanger. Readers can expect a steamy MM romance with several scenes that will leave you gasping.
