Some mysteries deserve a second look. So do some loves.
Rowan Makepeace has always preferred logic to emotion, invention to vulnerability, and distance to heartbreak. It’s served him well—until a coded plea for help arrives from his old college professor.
Summoned back to the American college where everything began, Rowan discovers that his former roommates have received the same message. What he doesn’t expect is to find Griffin Tully waiting for him—the man who walked away from their life together twenty-five years ago and left Rowan with a broken heart.
Their professor claims his life is in danger. He isn’t lying. But he isn’t telling them everything, either.
As old grudges resurface, suspicion turns toward the woman convicted of their friend’s death all those years ago. With the group’s magical abilities at their disposal, Rowan and the others begin searching for answers. But the deeper Rowan and Tully dig, the more they uncover secrets Strathmore has kept hidden for decades.
Working together brings the old attraction back with a force neither of them is prepared for. But solving the mystery means confronting the past—and deciding whether the mistakes that separated them twenty-five years ago still have the power to keep them apart.
Trouble for the Asking is a slow-burn MM second-chance romance of old magic, buried secrets, and a first love that never quite disappeared.
