Last-Minute Walk-In (Irons and Works Novellas Book 1)

It’s three years into the future, and both Derek and Basil have found their happiness with each other. Their lives are content—as complete as they’re ever going to be. Basil’s still running his florist shop, and Derek’s still putting his mark on people through ink and art. Together, they offer what support they can to the teens living at the Ted House shelter that Derek and his brother, Sage, have worked hard to get up and running.

And then, like a last minute-walk in, Derek and Basil get a request that changes the quiet routine of their life. A young, pregnant teen at the shelter has asked Derek and Basil to adopt her baby. Although the idea terrifies Derek, leaving him afraid he’ll turn out to be the worthless mess his father always accused him of being, he knows one thing—he wants a family with the man he’s going to marry.

However, nothing’s ever that easy. Stress and outside forces threaten to come between the two men, and both of them start to question whether or not they’re ready for this. Will Derek and Basil ever get the family they want? And more importantly, will their relationship survive the storm?
