The question was never whether they loved each other. The question is whether love is enough
A slow-burn, second-chance, small-town MM hurt/comfort with a murder at its heart—for fans of Sarina Bowen and Leta Blake
Lance Broussard drove through fire at seventeen to pull Parker Bishop out of the smoke. What came after—the almost-ten-months of after—he's never told anyone about. He's spent the decade since learning that saving someone and keeping them are not the same thing.
He still hasn't learned it.
Parker Bishop left the summer after the fire and didn't look back. He goes by Jonny now, carries his life in a single bag, and has very specific feelings about people who think he needs taking care of. He came back to Fairhaven for one reason. Lance Broussard was not it.
Lance will give Jonny everything he has. That's always been the problem. What Jonny's never learned is that letting someone in isn't the same as giving yourself away.
So the reunion, when it comes, isn't tender. Lance never forgave him for leaving; Jonny never forgave Lance for loving him like something that needed saving. They're both right.
Then a woman turns up dead with her blood on Jonny's hands, dragging everything they buried the year of the fire back into the open—and the one person Jonny can't get through this without is the one he swore he'd never need again.
Can two people unlearn everything they know about love before the truth finishes what the fire started?
Haunted is a slow-burn, second-chance, small-town hurt / comfort MM romance with deep grief and healing—the first novel in the Fairhaven series, for readers who like their happy endings earned the hard way.
