The Guy in the Alley — Cara Dee

MM Romance • Standalone • Hurt/Comfort • Age Gap • Blue-Collar Romance • Found FamilyGet comfortable for a love story that promises Chicago grit, sizzling heat, a playful rivalry between a White Sox diehard and a Cubs fan, and an autistic boy's dream to see the ocean.There was nothing like starting the new year with a snowstorm and trying to keep a sinking ship afloat in the middle of Chicago. Trace Kalecki had grown up at the Dearborn Clover, an Irish sports bar that'd been in his family since the late 1800s. He loved the place. He lived and breathed the Clover, from its staff and the sports memorabilia on the walls to the creatively named items on the menu and the soup kitchen they hosted twice a week. But the business was a damn headache too.One night, when he was wrestling garbage bags out to the dumpsters in the alley, he heard a broken plea for help.
