It's a perfectly logical arrangement that definitely won't involve actual feelings... until it does.Soon, buttoned-up Ethan discovers the joy in Leo's chaos, and Leo finds strength in Ethan's steady presence. Between late-night boyfriend "practice," baking lessons, and the watchful eyes of Port Harbor's most dedicated gossips, their carefully constructed facade begins to feel more authentic than anything either man has experienced before.But when insecurities flare and misunderstandings threaten their growing connection, both men must decide if they're willing to risk their carefully tended lives for a chance at something sweeter.Sweet Spring Fling is a heartwarming, low angst, instalove romance novella, featuring plant facts as flirting, stress baking, small-town meddling, one well-meaning golden retriever of mass destruction, and the kind of love that feels like coming home.
