In the Distance — Eileen Griffin; Nikka Michaels

Tyler Mitchell has worked hard to rebuild his life after his family kicked him out. A culinary student and sous chef who spends his spare time volunteering with kids, he's happy enough even though he has no time to consider a relationship.

He's vowed to repair the friendship he broke along the way, but that's hard to do when his friend's new employee catches his eye. Despite being warned to stay away from Tyler, Trevor turns on the charm. Romance is a terrible idea. Trevor is ten years older and a relentless playboy. Tyler is still unsure of his place in the world. Neither of them is ready for life-changing love, but as things heat up, their chemistry in the bedroom might just take that decision out of their hands.
