Overview

I walked into The Night Owl to drown my sorrows. I didn’t expect the bartender to offer me a place to stay—or a lesson in how to finally be pleased.

Graham Mitchell has spent his life trying to be "normal." He has the degree, the corporate job, and the fiancée. Until she leaves him for being "boring" and "broken" in bed, sending his carefully constructed life crashing down.

Soaked, humiliated, and hitting rock bottom, he stumbles into a dive bar in Asheville and meets Cole.

Cole Hendrix is everything Graham isn't: massive, tattooed, confident, and dangerously observant. He owns The Night Owl, and he doesn't believe Graham is broken. He thinks Graham just hasn't been touched right.

When Cole discovers Graham is a brilliant accountant and Graham discovers Cole’s business accounts are a disaster, they strike a deal: Graham will fix the bar’s finances. In exchange, Cole will give him lessons.

The Syllabus:

• Lesson One: Trust.
• Lesson Two: Surrender.
• Lesson Three: Pleasure.

But as the lessons move from the bedroom to the heart, the line between arrangement and reality blurs. Graham has to decide if he’s ready to stop fixing his old life and finally start living a new one—even if it means risking his heart on the man who taught him how to use it.

Bottoms Up is a high-heat M/M romance featuring a shy accountant finding his confidence, a protective bartender who loves to take control, and a guaranteed HEA.
