Rooted By Love

He builds things that last. He just never built anything for himself. Mack builds things that outlast him. Foundations. Frameworks. Structures designed to stand long after he's gone. What he hasn't built in years is anything for himself, and he's made his peace with that. Then, landscape designer Darren arrives at his restoration job site with a battered yellow hat, coffee, an unsettling amount of patience, and quietly begins the work of getting under Mack's skin.
Ten weeks. One crumbling estate. Two men who restore things for a living. One with stone and steel, the other with soil and roots, and both discovering that the hardest structure to build is the one that asks you to stay. Rooted by Love is a slow-burn MM romance full of emotional depth. A grumpy contractor who shows up for everyone but himself, and a sunshine landscape architect who refuses to let him stand outside in the rain.
Some things take time to root. He was worth the wait.
