His Ex-Husband's Brother - A Forbidden M/M Small Town Romance #993251

Eighteen months ago, I walked away from Blackwater Harbor, my failed marriage, and a life built on borrowed ground. Now I’m back to open my restaurant on my own terms. No Rourke family name on the deed. No expectations. Just my kitchen, my menu, and a fresh start.
Then Dorian Rourke buys the building twelve feet from my pass window.
Dorian is six-foot-four of steady, silver-bearded responsibility. He’s the family anchor, the older brother who held everything together—and the man I spent eight years pretending not to notice across Sunday dinner tables.
I thought the electric pull between us was just a symptom of a dying marriage. But when Dorian shows up at my restaurant after closing with the wine from my wedding reception, the truth becomes unavoidable: he’s been watching me for nine years. And he’s done stepping back.
Separated by a shared stone wall, we try to maintain our boundaries while forced to collaborate on the town’s summer festival. But a single touch shatters nine years of restraint into an intense, secret connection.
I rebuilt my life from scratch. Dorian holds his entire family on his shoulders. Falling for my ex-husband's brother is the most reckless thing I could do... so why does it feel like the only thing that's real?
His Ex-Husband's Brother is a high-heat, standalone M/M contemporary romance featuring an ex-husband's brother trope, intense repressed longing, small-town Maine vibes, a broody developer, and a fiercely independent chef.
