Better Than Home by Lane Hayes
Better Than Series, Book 6
The lawyer, the diva, and a new adventure…
Matt-
Life is good. A few years ago, I met someone special, came out as bi, fell head over heels, and married the love of my life. A man. But not just any man.
Aaron is a confident, unapologetically fabulous diva who isn’t afraid to take chances. I love that about him. New state, new career path…no problem.
Except things don’t always go according to plan. That’s okay. It might be the perfect time to get back to basics and check off a few items on our original list…like buy a house and start a family. Whoa! House first.
However, house hunting isn’t glamorous at all, and with my partnership at the law firm in the balance, it’s kind of stressful. Everything we’ve dreamed of is within reach—if we can just find a place that feels like home, we’ll be better than good.
Better Than Home is a sweet and sexy novella featuring Matt and Aaron from my International Bestselling book, Better Than Good. The lawyer, the diva, and the happy ever after of a lifetime. For readers who know the real love story happens after the first “I love you.”

Aaron adjusted his sunglasses and tugged at the collar of his perfectly pressed blue T-shirt. I chuckled when he fanned himself dramatically.
“It’s warm today,” I reported, doing my best Captain Obvious.
Aaron nodded absently but didn’t comment on the state of his guy-liner the way he usually would. Instead, he tilted his chin toward the action on the opposite side of the park. “That could be you someday. Coaching little people baseball matches.”
“Games or practices, babe. Not matches,” I corrected, rubbing his neck.
“Hmm. This is the kind of place you always thought you’d end up, isn’t it?”
That was a loaded question. The simple answer was yes—except I’d never envisioned I’d marry a man.
I glanced at the little girl pushing a toy stroller next to a young mom with a toddler on her hip, then back at Aaron. “Maybe…yes.”
“Not me. I never thought I’d want any part of this, but I do now. Is that weird?”
“No. Life changes.”
“True.” He twisted to face me. “We have a perfectly lovely condo in a perfectly lovely part of a vibrant city. We’re close to work and we can easily visit family and friends. We have a good life, and maybe I’m greedy, but that house was…”
“Perfect?”
“Yes!” He opened his mouth theatrically. “I was shocked at how perfectly perfect it was. I didn’t want to like it. I thought seeing one more stinker would quell the urge to become homeowners for a while, but we just walked through our dream home, Matty.”
“Dream home might be overstating it, but—”
“No way. I can feel it in my bones. Under all those weeds, mucked up floors, and a tragic paint job is a mid-century modern classic, and it wants us to live there. That house was calling to us…begging us to love it and bring it back to life!” Aaron hollowed his hands at his mouth and ghost-whispered, “Matt, Aaron…you’re my only hope.”
