Grind
“I can’t keep it professional. Not with you.”
James is glad to pay the price of starting a new life, even if his family turned their backs on him when he transitioned. He’s starting a business with his hunky carpenter friend to pay off his medical debt. But what if Ryan is the only one to see past it all and love him inside and out?
Ryan is hard to rattle. When he knows what he wants, nothing can stop him. Clever, caring, bossy new partner James has won Ryan’s heart, and he doesn’t back down from a challenge—or even threats.
They both know mixing business with pleasure is a bad idea, but the pull between them is too hard to resist. Can James let Ryan in, and can Ryan have it all with the one who’s won his heart?
Grind is the sixth book in The Riley Brothers, a low-angst series filled with brotherly banter and small-town smiles. This steamy, standalone gay romance novel can be enjoyed on its own, and promises a happily-ever-after ending.

What readers said:
“I really enjoy a slow burn romance and this story delivers in spades. Both MCs are well fleshed out and thoroughly believable as a couple. The road to HEA is not an easy one and there is plenty of angst along the way but this makes the end all the more sweeter.” -Rainbow Awards honorable mention
“You will chuckle at his subtle humor, cry from the heartbreak the characters face, blush from the encounters of the main characters, and swoon from the romance. I read this book the other day, and sat here at the computer thinking of what to write for 2 days. I wanted to do this review justice, and let people know that THIS book is worth the read. It is not just a romance novel, but a chance to understand the life of someone else.” -Amazon reviewer
“It was a well-written romance about two gay guys, one of whom just happened to be transgender. Ryan never treated James like he wasn’t a guy, not before or after they became romantically involved. It was a beautiful story to read.” -Amazon reviewer
