His Horizon by Con Riley
Temperatures rise when there are two cooks in Jude’s kitchen…
Jude’s drowning in guilt when he can’t save his family business single-handed. The last person he expects to throw a lifeline is Rob, a rival chef who once beat him to first place in a cooking contest.
Two chefs working together won’t be easy. Not when Rob is everything Jude isn’t—popular, extroverted, and a one-time hook-up. What’s worse is that Rob wears his heart on his sleeve while Jude’s still in the closet.
Jude’s dilemma doesn’t end there. Rob’s rescue package comes with conditions that mean sharing everything from the profits to Jude’s sleeping quarters.
Sleeping with the enemy will either be a disaster or signal a much brighter future, but only if Jude can meet Rob’s final condition and love him in the open.
Featuring opposites who attract, rivals to lovers, and an out-for-you storyline dripping with hurt-comfort feelings, His Horizon is the first in a shared-world series of standalone MM romance novels from Con Riley.
CONTENT ADVISORY: Grief-related angst, Off-page peril & British-English spelling/grammar.

Jude followed his sister to the pub’s front door, stopped by Rob hooking a hand around his elbow. His grip was as intent as his tone. “We need to talk.” “Not now.” Jude pulled free and stepped outside to see his sister jogging along the harbour. He followed as she hopped up onto the sea wall and then clambered down its far side. The rocks there were slippery, streaked with seaweed, the purple domes of anemones visible while their fronds were tucked away until the next high tide. Louise was nimble as she splashed through shallow rock pools, headed for the curving jut of the nearby headland. They’d played here so often as kids, their dad teaching them about all the good things to eat that were usually hidden—shrimps, seaweed, and winkles a diet he’d promised anyone could survive on. Now, Jude splashed through those same pools of chilly water, not yet sun-warmed as they would be by noon. Rob cursed, and Jude looked back. He didn’t seem half so carefree here as he had with Lou in the kitchen, or as relaxed as he had asleep in the boatshed. Rob’s arms were now outstretched as if he walked a tightrope, face drawn tight with concentration. He flailed, seaweed slippery under his feet, close to falling until Jude doubled back to save him. It was his turn to extend a hand, Rob’s whole body rigid as he tried to keep from falling. Somehow, despite their previous standoff, teasing him came easily, as it had towards the end of the contest. “What’s this?” Jude asked. “Don’t you know how to keep your balance? Have I finally found something Daddy couldn’t buy you?” “Fuck yourself, fish face,” Rob sing-songed, another reminder of a past life where ribbing each other had started to feel normal. Had been something Jude looked forward to. Had begun to feel like foreplay.

About the Author:
Con Riley lives on the wild and rugged Devonshire coast, with her head in the clouds, and her feet in the Atlantic Ocean.
Injury curtailed her enjoyment of outdoor pursuits, so writing fiction now fills her free time instead. Love, loss, and redemption shape her romance stories, and her characters are flawed in ways that makes them live and breathe.
When not people watching, or wrangling her own boy band of teen sons, she spends time staring at the sea from her kitchen window. If you see her, don’t disturb her—she’s probably thinking up new plots.
