Emerett Has Never Been In Love

A man who acts before he thinks, a man who thinks before he acts, and the ensuing mishaps on the path to the ultimate love match.

~ ~ ~

Emerett "Lake" Lakewood has a healthy ego and a flair for the dramatic. After losing his best friend to marriage-completely crushing his heart-he deems it prudent to distract himself, and what better way than playing cupid?

He's already got his eye on two young men desperately seeking romance, and he has a plan to hook them up.

Barbecues.

Photoshoots.

Reciting Shakespearean love declarations.

Lake is killing it. Love is positively pulsing in the air. Anyone could see it.

Well, anyone other than Knight, his best friend's dad, who cautions Lake to stop meddling. To leave love to its natural course.

Lake has always valued Knight's frankness, but this time he's wrong. Without him, two hearts might be doomed never to find love.

Besides, what does Knight know about romance? He's barely dated in all the seven years Lake's known him. He's clueless.

Though, there's a thought. Knight has everything going for him. Sensibility. Kindness. Generosity. And for a forty-four-year-old, he's-objectively-freaking hot.

Why is he single?
