"You're the North Star in my sky." Former astronaut Nico has escaped his heroic past to start a new life as a park ranger. He lives deep in the Smoky Mountains, only leaving to visit his best friends in nearby Knoxville. Here in the wilderness, he's free from fame, drama, and heartbreak. Until rock star and international playboy Deen Jayse stumbles headlong into his world. Cornered and framed by paparazzi, Deen barely escaped with his career intact. He's stuck doing image rehab. It's supposed to be a wholesome vacation to promote national parks. But when he's assigned a grumpy guide, he's determined to charm the mountain man right out of that sexy park ranger uniform. It's easy to break down strong and silent Nico's walls. Figuring out what to do now is much harder. Deen can't just drop everything to go live in the mountains, and Nico can't abandon them. After a taste of being together, how can they possibly face a future apart? Splinter is Book 1 of the Significant Brothers, a feel-good MM romance series. Six best friends from high school are reunited to banter-and occasionally give helpful advice-as, one by one, they each find Mr. Right. Each book can be read as a standalone story and has a guaranteed happily-ever-after ending, and no cliffhanger. Rainbow Awards Finalist in Best Bisexual Romance & Best Bisexual Book!
