There Miles stood…

Relationship over.

No car.

No place to live.

And no hope for his future.

And then a gorgeous, avenging angel appears. And not just any angel. The father of his ex-girlfriend. But it can't mean what Miles wants it to mean, right? After all, Emmett is married to an equally gorgeous man: a pediatric cardiac surgeon with abs of steel and a glare that could melt diamonds.

There isn't a chance in hell Miles is getting involved with them. Not even when Emmett and Cosimo take him in. Not even when they start flirting.

Not even when he starts realizing their relationship dynamic is not what he thought it was.

Emmett and Cosimo are the actual dream. A fantasy he conjured up once when he was lonely and not sure anyone was going to want him for who he was. But the more he gets to know the pair, the more he starts to have hope.

And hope is a dangerous thing.

As Miles starts to crack and he feels himself start giving in to their attention, he realizes that his own salvation might come at the hands of sharp tongues, tender hands, and the promise of an absolute happily ever after.

Tender is the fourth and final book of the Beginning of Always series. It features a sunshine nerdy scientist with needs he keeps to himself, a grumpy surgeon who just wants the people he loves to be happy, a nervous, deaf grad student who isn't used to getting what he wants, falling for your ex's dads, power dynamics, high spice, high swoon, and a triple happily ever after.
