    About this ebook

    Best buddies Manny Velazquez and Ben Green grew up together. Now after ten years of living separate lives in separate states, they are reunited as roommates when Manny comes back to their hometown for a job. Growing up, Manny was a skinny geek, but not anymore. Now he's this super buff fitness god, and since Manny came back, Ben can't help noticing his friend in a whole new way. Ben's scared, because he knows how he feels could change everything, and no matter what happens, he doesn't want to lose Manny as his friend.

    This story was written as a part of the M/M Romance Group on Goodreads 'Love Has NO Boundaries' event.

    Author

    Penny Wilder

    Penny Wilder is a queer human who writes and reads far too many books. She lives near Minneapolis, Minnesota with her husband and four cats. Her favorite thing to do at the end of a very long day is to curl up with her tablet and read. She does bookkeeping for nonprofits by day, and by night moonlights as a blogger, artist, illustrator, actor, director, performer, and also sometimes as a business manager for a fledgling theater company. (Not all at once though, because that would be crazy!) She has spent a good deal of her life working in theater; either onstage as a performer, or backstage doing just about every job imaginable. Her love of writing dates back almost as far as her love of reading.

      Introduction

      The story you are about to read celebrates love, sex and romance between men. It is a product of the Love Has NO Boundaries promotion sponsored by the Goodreads M/M Romance Group and is published as a free gift to you.

      What Is Love Has NO Boundaries?

      The Goodreads M/M Romance Group invited members to choose a photo and pen a letter asking for a short M/M romance story inspired by the image; authors from the group were encouraged to select a letter and write an original tale. The result was an outpouring of creativity that shined a spotlight on the special bond between M/M romance writers and the people who love what they do.

      A written description of the image that inspired this story is provided along with the original prompt. If you’d like to view the photo, please feel free to join the Goodreads M/M Romance Group (www.goodreads.com) and visit the discussion section: Love Has NO Boundaries. Whether you are an avid M/M romance reader or new to the genre, you are in for a delicious treat.
