Learned Behaviors

Ellis (Jeremiah) pairs up two single fathers who’ve just sent their daughters to college in her sensuous first Higher Education romance. JaQuan Reynolds was a teenage father, and ever since his daughter, Tanisha, was born his life has been devoted solely to her and his work. As the assistant to eccentric and demanding designer Patti, Jaq is on call at all times. When Patti gets the opportunity to design a line of home goods for Bernhardt department stores, Bernhardt representative Matt Donaldson arrives to manage the project. Jaq is immediately attracted to Matt, but is put off by his demanding, uptight demeanor. Workaholic Matt returns Jaq’s attraction, but his bisexuality is new to his family, his three grown kids having only seen him with his ex-wife. As Jaq and Matt work together and bond over their newly empty nests, their attraction turns to more—but Matt must learn to step back from work to make room for happiness. The endearing, often erotic story of two men finding love later in life will fill readers’ hearts. (Nov.)
