Overview

I used to be a happy-go-lucky guy, but all I am now is depressed. I’m also having an identity crisis at twenty-six, which sounds ridiculous, but it’s true. The only thing going for me is my job as a PR assistant for the best hockey team in the world.

Since my girlfriend of five years dumped me, I don’t know who I am anymore. My friend suggests I give casual dating a try, since I’ve always been a serial monogamist. Due to a mix-up, I end up in front of Dexter Hayes, the most beautiful and intriguing man I’ve ever seen in my life outside of movies. He doesn’t want to be my friend, so why can’t I stop thinking about him?

I have the perfect life. I’m confident, successful and with my new promotion at work I’m finally becoming everything I’ve been working towards since I left behind my shitty childhood. No one knows what I’ve been through, not even my closest friend.

Ever since the promotion, she’s been hounding me about my love life, but I don’t do relationships. I go to this stupid speed-dating thing just to get her off my back, but lo and behold, I find the perfect specimen of a man. Only he’s straight, because the universe is out to get me. And now Leon is actively trying to become my friend, when I’m already a bit obsessed with him. I need to cut this off before I put my heart on the line.

The Mix-up is a 74,500 word MM grumpy/sunshine romance with a HEA between Leon and Dexter. They couldn’t be more different, but that doesn’t stop Leon from pursuing Dexter as a friend in a complete role reversal situation. This is the first novel in the Surprising Love! series, but can be read as a standalone.
