Bittersweet Irish Cream: Part 1: Not The Boyfriend

Jack Redmond was content with his life in his small town. He wasn’t looking to add any more friends to his small circle and he certainly wasn’t looking for a boyfriend. After his tragic childhood, stability and structure was all he needed: Running a 5k every morning, working his job at the sanitation department, working his other job on his family’s orchard farm, all while keeping a close eye on his little sister. But when a new guy moves to town and takes over McKinley’s Inn, every encounter resulted in Jack trading insults with the arrogant man every Friday. Jack just wanted him to go away... so he could stop thinking about him on other days of the week. 

EJ unwittingly forces Jack and Ethan to share kinder words than insults, which leads to an unexpected friendship. When feelings between the two begin to develop, Ethan and Jack will have to decide if it’s worth it to pursue something outside of their comfortable bromance.
