Simon Tyler knows his job as a gay romance author makes his lack of faith in love more than a little ironic, but heâs tired of being used for his wallet. When a night out turns into a matchmaking scheme orchestrated by his best friends, Simonâs not thrilled, but since heâs not the target and heâs sworn off happily-ever-after anyway, he goes along with it... until he meets Adrian, the object of their efforts, and finds perhaps he hasnât given up on love after all.
Professor Adrian Keys has tried to date Hearing men before, but being Deaf himself, heâs never had any success at making a connection. After his friends con him into going out and Adrian realizes itâs all an elaborate plan to set him up, he braces for yet another failure, only to discover there is a sparkâexcept itâs not with the man his friends had in mind, but with Simon Tyler instead.
Not all their friends have found a way past their romantic failures, but Simon and Adrian might be on the path to happily-ever-after.
