All Washed Up — Sharon Maria Bidwell

It seems Peter's life is all washed up, but maybe the answer is to “bare” all, including his heart.

When Peter Blake takes a job working for Walker's Wash-ups, little does he know that the easiest part of his day will be deciding which of his “uniforms” he hates the most. Needing the money to pay off a loan, Peter decides there are worse things in life than wearing a nude male grilling “Hot Sausage” apron, even if he can't exactly remember what at the moment. His life shouldn't be like this. Alas, he didn't foresee redundancy. He didn't foresee a time in his life when he'd have to take such a peculiar job, having to grin and “bare” it, where both pairs of “cheeks” burn equally with embarrassment, either!

Even more surprising, he didn't expect the sanest person in his growing list of crazy clients would be another man with a bruised heart, who has a lot to answer for, including his future.
