Too Thankful For You

By AG Meiers

A gorgeous guy showing up on your doorstep unexpectedly should be a dream come true, right? Well, not if it’s your boyfriend’s ex...

A home invasion that killed his parents wrecked Xander's sense of security. After a few rough years, he's finally found happiness with his boyfriend, Greyson, in an old farmhouse north of Boston.

On the weekend before Thanksgiving, Greyson's ex from college shows up uninvited. Reminiscing of glory days is tedious at best. But when the ulterior motive for the reunion is exposed, it fuels Xander’s hidden fears. Could Greyson ever get tired of living with Xander’s anxieties?

Suddenly, he finds himself questioning a lot of things he took for granted and realizes that the biggest threat to happily ever after is not the ex at the doorstep, but the secrets both men have been keeping from each other.

Xander and Greyson have a few years of love and happiness on their side, but will it be enough to hold them together?

Too Thankful for You, a contemporary m/m romance, is the second short story in the “He is the One” series. There’s a soulmate for everyone, but sometimes love needs honesty. Trigger warning: In this story one main character struggles with alcohol addiction.

He Is The One:

Unapologetic

Pushing everyone away is the perfect solution to keep your heart safe, right? Well, but what if someone slips past the defensive walls…

Even on his best day Darren doesn’t do nice, and he doesn’t like people. His family is the only exception from the rule. So when his shifty brother-in-law steals from them and leaves Darren’s pregnant sister behind—all on Darren’s watch—he blames himself for the fallout. He failed. No need to talk about it. Trespassers beware.

A homeless Carlo stumbles into Darren’s life and the instant attraction catches both men completely by surprise. Carlo has had bad luck galore, but he won’t let it drag him down. He is summer sunshine to Darren’s raging storms.

But when it turns out that Carlo isn’t quite as carefree as he seems, Darren has a decision to make: Take the risk to let Carlo in or lose him completely.

Unapologetic is a hurt/comfort contemporary m/m romance with a twist and the first steamy short story in the He is the One series. There’s a soulmate for everyone, but sometimes love takes courage.

I knew this day would come, but secretly I’d hoped I’d never see Edward Richards III again. Now here he is, standing on my front porch with his hundred-dollar haircut, designer suit, and a brilliant smile. It’s been four years since Harvard, but Ted the Great still looks as if he just stepped out of the pages of GQ, with stunning blue eyes, a chiseled jaw, and a perfect tan.

My boyfriend’s ex on my door step. Well, fuck…

Oh, hey, Xander, Ted says with a broad smile. Back in the days he was legend. Captain of the rowing team. Honor Roll student. The list of Ted’s accomplishments in the classroom was only surpassed by the rumors about his elaborate fraternity parties and his sexual exploits. He’d been an equal opportunity player, so male and female devotees swooned regularly in his path.
