Jeremiah by Jayce Ellis
Series: High Rise #1
Release Date: January 6, 2020
Subgenre: Contemporary m/m romance
Book Synopsis:
Jeremiah Stewart’s sexuality is no one’s business. Not that he’s hiding it. When—if—he finds the right one, he’ll absolutely introduce him to Mom. But a late-night brush with a sexy stranger in too much lip gloss has him rethinking nearly everything…
To Collin Galloway, direction is a four-letter word. Sure, he hates his job, he hates living with his parents and he really hates watching everyone move on without him. But he doesn’t know what he wants to do, long-term, and he won’t figure it out by thirsting over Jeremiah, the superhot, superintense paramedic who is suddenly everywhere Collin looks.
When Jeremiah’s faced with losing all he’s worked so hard to build, he reluctantly accepts Collin’s help. They’re both determined to stay professional…which works about as well as either would imagine. But Collin only does closets with clothes, and Jeremiah has to decide if he’s finally found the one worth bringing home to Mom.

Jeremiah’s eyes crinkled in the corner and he smiled at me, the same one I’d seen him give Lizzie. And damn if it wasn’t one of the most drool-worthy sights around, with those white teeth and that goatee and that perfect skin. My breath caught, and I bit my lower lip to stop it. His eyes focused on the sight, and when he looked at me again, they’d gone molten. I shivered, and that grin turned straight sultry.
“So, Coll, what do you say? Will you help?”
“Sure, I mean, of course. When?”
Jeremiah’s eyes cleared, and he shrugged. “Tonight?”
Lizzie beamed. “You can do tonight, right, Coll?”
I was supposed to hang out with Lizzie and Ryan tonight, but I couldn’t let the moment pass and it was obvious Lizzie was cool with it. Whether or not I was ready for it, I was getting a second chance. “I can do tonight. Where?”
Another shrug. “My place?”
Words failed me, and Lizzie looked at me expectantly.
“Or,” Jeremiah continued while I was still mute, “we can do someplace neutral. Here will be closed, but I can find a place. Closer to you if you prefer.”
I couldn’t tell them what I was thinking. That if I set foot in Jeremiah’s space I was likely to find the nearest flat surface, drop my pants, and beg him to fuck me. That my body had tightened, my cock to the point of pain, at the idea of being taken as forcefully as I imagined Jeremiah would. That I didn’t know how I felt about being so thirsty for a man.
Since I couldn’t say those things, I swallowed hard and shook my head. “No, your place is fine. Does seven thirty work?”
He smiled. “Seven thirty is perfect. Apartment 1015.”
I stood and hustled Lizzie along, who’d gone quiet during the exchange. She walked ahead of me and I turned back to say, “I’ll see you tonight.”
He didn’t respond, but I swore he watched my ass on the way out. The twist in my hips was totally unintentional. Really.
Jayce Ellis has three loves: her husband and her two turtles. Hubby loves her back. The turtles she’s not so sure about, but they do love their sports (Bay Area teams FTW!). She still hasn’t figured out why she lives in Northern Virginia, where there’s weather, instead of California, where she’s from, and where it’s just…pretty. Jayce spends her days divorcing happily-married couples (or so she’s been told), and her nights talking maniacally to herself. Thankfully the recorder catches her rumblings and magically turns them into words on a screen. Painting nails is way easier when you don’t actually have to type, and with well over 500 polishes to get through, there’s a lot of painting going on.
Notwithstanding her no-good, very bad, horrible day job, Jayce seriously believes that true love conquers all. Even Maleficent said it. Sure, she was having an epic Mean Girls moment at the time, but she still said it. And she’s right. The only thing Jayce loves more than writing about true love conquering all, is hearing from readers who feel the same way.
