Boys Like Me

Gale Harrington is a playboy, but not by choice. Things have happened in his life that keep him from finding the kind of love people dream about. But he doesn’t let that stop him from having a little—okay, a lot—of fun. Known for his Casanova ways, Gale is upfront and honest with every woman he meets: he’s just looking for a good time. Women don’t mind; he’s good in bed. But when he meets Ava Walker during what was supposed to be another run-of-the-mill random hook-up, Gale finds himself thinking about her more often than he should. Ava’s tired of chasing after men who don’t want to be chased, and decides to try her luck on the dating app circuit. It’s not going well for her until she meets the man she’s had a secret crush on for years; well, she’s had a crush on his voice anyway. Meeting up with the local radio DJ isn’t just about checking off a free-pass hook-up. She really just wants to meet someone different. And Gale Harrington, DJ extraordinaire, is exceptionally different. What was supposed to be a casual, carefree afternoon of fun-filled sex turns into an intense, overwhelming situationship that can never become anything else. But not because Gale and Ava don’t want it to become more; because external forces have been hard at work for decades to keep them apart. Will love find a way or will they end up right where they started: alone and wishing things could be different? Or will they tackle what life throws at them together and find their way to each other?
