Ex-Daredevil by Zoe Lee
Local Beats, Book 2
Eliott was looking for a steady companion to share his simple life when a cute guy literally fell out of the sky and into his world. Gavin wasn’t the kind of man he was normally attracted to, but Eliott couldn’t resist the challenging glint in his eyes.
The last thing Gavin expected was to be interested in the stuffy lawyer whose car he nearly crashed into during a skydiving mishap. Gavin bet Eliott he can get him to love something dangerous, even though he was afraid a man like Eliott would never be able to take him seriously.
Attraction and curiosity pulled them together, while their outlooks on life pushed them apart. When there’s no way to prepare for love, will they surrender to its chaos?
This is an 80,000 word opposites attract romance with a guaranteed HEA. It’s the second book in the Local Beats series and can be read as a standalone, but is more fun if read in order.

Slowly, Eliott nodded and rolled his chair back so he could stand up. With me still perched on the table, our bodies were close, his hips between my knees, and it was a little bit of torture. His free hand rubbed across his lips and then he sighed. “I was jealous.”
“What?” I blurted out, since that hadn’t crossed my mind at all.
“Jealous,” he repeated, his jaw tense now. A flash of irritation went through his eyes that was maybe actually hiding some embarrassment. “You walked in flirting—”
“Non-sexually bantering.”
“—with some tatted-up, sexy silver fox—”
“My boss.”
“—and I thought, Of course.”
Now that had my face screwing up in confusion. “Of course? Of course, what?”
His thumb brushed my chin as he sighed again. “Of course you’re with a man like that.”
Our eyes locked and then he jerked back, shoving his hands into his pockets and clearing his throat. A stab of something… not entirely painful went through me, realizing that while I had assumed maybe I wasn’t good enough for him, he’d had a comparable assumption that he wasn’t exciting enough for me. If I’d pictured him with another matching corporate type and he’d pictured me with another daredevil, then Barley objectively fit the bill. I felt the hurt from earlier soften into a forgivable misunderstanding.
My heart started racing, feeling suddenly confident in the potential we had. The man I’d first met would never have apologized so earnestly or trusted me enough to be vulnerable and say he’d been jealous because he was worried he wasn’t enough for me. It buoyed my conviction that this was worth pursuing, even if we had bumps along the way.
“In that case,” I said, stroking down his body from his throat to his belt buckle along his tie, the way I had before, “you can’t let jealousy win, you have to kick its ass.”
Something relaxed in Eliott’s expression. “Do I?”
“Yes,” I replied decisively. “You have to take me out so you can win. Friday works, but I’ll be working until probably seven, so we should maybe do a later dinner.”
