Wrong Place, Right Thyme

 

Summary

Danny

I’m not into hockey. Like, at all. But when my uncle can’t use his tickets to one of his beloved Pittsburgh Penguins games, I can’t pass up the opportunity for a little escape from my bummer of a retail job and the homophobic parents I’m forced to live with.

But the arena is confusing, and I end up in someone else’s seat. Someone I recognize—it’s Mike, my high school crush. Now older, hotter, and just as out of reach as I remember. Except he seems into me too.

It doesn't matter, though. I don’t have the cash to move out, and my family will never accept us. Mike and I are doomed before we even get started.

Mike

I love being a mechanic. The troubleshooting, working with my hands, all satisfy something deep inside me. And the pay isn’t bad. I just wish my coworkers weren’t such a nightmare. Penguins hockey is my escape from the grind. When I find a cute stranger sitting in my seat, I figure I’ll let him stay. Turns out he’s a sweet guy I went to school with. Sparks fly, and soon we’re connecting over shared memories, laughter, and nachos.

But just as things heat up, my job takes a turn for the worse, and an enticing offer to start fresh on a family farm in Oregon becomes hard to ignore. Now I’m torn between a second chance at first romance with Danny, and the possibility of a new life.
