A Quiet Kind of Love - Paperback

by Devin Gackle (Author)

Sometimes the biggest emotions aren't as loud as we think.

It's been a long time since I've had a date that wasn't with a book, or Sunday dinner with my best friends. And I'm perfectly content with that.

At least, I think I am.

But when my friends convince me to get on a dating app, I start to wonder if I've been hiding behind my books for too long. And when I meet Sawyer, a piece I didn't realize was missing from my life starts clicking into place.

He's nothing like my ex, and being with him is exactly the kind of relationship I need. He's sweet, and funny, and I've never been more comfortable with a man in my life. Not to mention, he's got an adorable cat I want to snuggle just as much as his owner. We might not seem compatible on the outside-me the grunge goth bookworm, and him the shy but cheerful gamer-but we quickly find our penchant for quiet evenings at home bonds us more than either of us thought possible.

So why am I still holding back? Sawyer is all in, so why am I keeping him at arms length? Being with Sawyer is easy, and my brain is telling me that's a good thing.

Now I just need my heart to catch up.
