The One Who Was supposed to Be Straight: He wasn’t want this. I wait.

Jake doesn't fall in love. He manages risk.He's good at it, too-keeping things light, keeping exits clean, never staying long enough for desire to turn into damage. Visibility is dangerous. Need is worse. And commitment? That's just another word for loss.Then there's Matt.Matt was supposed to be straight. He was also supposed to be off-limits.He's his best friend Emily's brother-steady, observant, and entirely unimpressed by Jake's carefully managed distance. Matt doesn't panic when things get complicated, and he refuses to make himself smaller just to be easier to keep.As attraction turns into something heavier, Jake finds himself facing a problem he can't outmaneuver: Matt doesn't respond to distance the way he's supposed to. The rules Jake has lived by for years stop working. And for the first time, leaving feels like the bigger risk.When an unexpected opportunity threatens to pull them apart, Jake must decide whether choosing someone once is enough-or whether staying means learning how to choose again, without guarantees.The One Who Was Supposed to Be Straight is a slow-burn M/M romance about confidence, control, and the quiet courage it takes to stay present when walking away would be easier.This is Book One in a continuing series. The choice is only the beginning.
