Blurb:
Jamie lives with his straight modeling best friend of three
years, John. He’s finally achieved his lifelong dream of opening up his own
bakery and John throws him a party. There he meets Matthew, co-owner of the
Home Improvement shop across the street from his new bakery. They hit it off.
Only there’s one problem. Matthew is possibly straight and there’s
a 90% chance that he thinks Jamie is a woman!
Excerpt:
"Who was that guy I saw you talking to? He looks a bit
familiar." John's voice was casual but the quick glances out of the corner
of his eyes were anything but.
Resisting the urge to laugh, Jamie looked back out the passenger
side window.
"Matthew. Him and his brother run the Home Improvement
store across the street. Didn't you invite him?"
"Oh, yeah. He seemed nice, but I could've sworn his name
was Clark." John sounded confused.
"Maybe you mixed up their names?" Jamie provided
helpfully.
"More than likely. We only talked for about a minute."
Jamie caught the quick glance John tossed him and so he wasn't surprised by his
next words. "Sooo... does he know you're a guy?"
Even expecting it, Jamie couldn't have stopped himself that
time, even though he tried. He burst out laughing, slapping his palm repeatedly
against his naked thigh.
He knew John was serious and, in all fairness, the question
really was a legit one. Still, he couldn't help it.
"Stop laughing." John muttered, trying not to chuckle
himself as Jamie continued to laugh, a tear squeezing out the corner of his
eye.
Trying to breathe deeply and get himself under control, Jamie
giggled. "Sorry, sorry." he apologised when he could open his mouth
without laughing.
John shook his head, the corner of his mouth tilting up in a
small smile.
"So does he?"
He bit his lip. The more he thought about it, the more he was
certain Matthew had no idea he was a guy.
Which meant the man was straight. And he'd only flirted with
Jamie because he'd thought he was a girl.
Crap!
He heard a sigh beside him. "He doesn't know, does
he?"
Jamie shook his head in the negative. "I don't think
so."
"Crap."
Slumping down in his seat and crossing his arms over his chest,
Jamie let his head thump against the window pane, deciding that was exactly
what he felt like.
