Don’t Get Too Close

Ted lives by one rule that has kept him alive for almost twenty five years. Don’t get too close.

As a child, Ted learned that the only way to survive was to never let anyone get too close to him. And as an adult living in a rusty old trailer that no one visits, that same rule keeps him out of vulnerable situations. That works for him because he doesn’t have to push people away. They just never get close to him to begin with.
Unfortunately, Kacen didn’t get the memo. He shows up in Ted’s world with a kind smile and a confusing interest in the younger man. Neither of them fully understand the pull they have toward each other, and they can only resist it for so long before mother nature forces their hands.
Ted doesn’t know what to do with someone like Kacen, a stranger who says he wants to help without anything in return. Ted knows damn well that no one does anything for free.
Wanting and trusting have never been in Ted’s wheelhouse, but the temptation to do both is too strong to ignore. Maybe this is the one time he’s not supposed to follow his own rule.

Don’t Get Too Close is a spinoff of The Lactin Brotherhood world and has darker edges but the same loving relationships full of strong yet vulnerable men who naturally lactate and the boys who love them. This M/M romance has heavy themes including past abuse, fear of intimacy, and learning to trust.
