LEON
When I’m looking for a hook up, I want three things:
Big, thick, and rough.
So it doesn’t make sense that I can’t get my new hire out of my head.
He’s a tiny guy with big ideas … and he’s my apprentice which means he’s completely off limits.
But he’s already under my skin.
And for the first time with any guy, I don’t think I can hold my own against him.
Physically, yes. Emotionally, no.
Auggie makes me weak.
AUGGIE
Growing up, I always wanted to go into the family business and follow in Dad’s footsteps.
Until in my senior year of high school when he told me to find a new dream.
No one would let a small, clumsy guy like me on a construction site.
And after trying and failing for years, I was starting to believe him.
Then LJ Constructions calls me for an interview and when I meet Leon, he becomes my new dream.
He’s hot as hell, self made, and instead of putting me down, he sees what I’ve always seen in myself.
But I’m not dumb enough to throw away this one chance, not even for him.
Not even if I really, really want to.
Getting Friendly is a low angst friends-to-lovers romance with spa dates, a size difference, and an adorably awkward MC.

Recently, nineteen-year-old up and coming actor Scotty Valentin gave up all hopes of finding a boyfriend. Relationships in Hollywood came with a price, all for the cost of his privacy and trust.
Kyle and Scotty meet by chance. The chemistry between them is instantaneous, leaving Kyle wanting more. But at what cost? Could Scotty be the answer Kyle’s been bother running from and searching for?
