Hard Sell

A childhood crush gets a second chance in this heartwarming gay romance from Lin (Ipso Facto ILU). Growing up, Tobin Lok had a huge crush on his older brother’s best friend, Danny Ip. Danny’s single mom worked long hours, leading Danny to became an honorary member of the Lok family, who continued to love and support him after his mother died, and as he grew up and became successful in the finance world. Meanwhile, Tobin, tired of being treated as the baby of the family, cut himself off from his parents’ money and moved from Toronto to Vancouver to prove he could support himself. Now, years later, a business deal leads the men to cross paths once again—and neither can deny their attraction. What starts as a fling quickly grows into much more, but they fear that Wei, Tobin’s brother, won’t approve, leaving them to decide if their feelings for each other are worth risking the only family either has. This emotional conflict leads to some tear-jerking moments that Lin balances with laughter and passion. Readers are sure to be fully invested in this endearing couple. [em](June) [/em]
