About this ebook

A Granby Knitting Novella

Everything about Jeremy has always been a lie—including his last name. When one grift too many ends in tragedy, Jeremy goes straight. But life’s hard for an ex-con, and Jeremy is down to panhandling and hope when Rance Crawford offers him work at a tiny alpaca farm and fiber mill. Jeremy takes him up on the job, thinking this could be his last chance to be a good man, and meets Aiden, who is growing into a better one.

As Aiden comes of age, Jeremy finds himself desperate to grow up, too, because Aiden starts looking to him for things Jeremy doesn’t know how to give. Being honest is terrifying for a man who’s learned to rabbit at the first sign of conflict—more so when Aiden gives Jeremy a reason to stay that can’t be packed up and carried in a knapsack. When Jeremy’s past comes knocking at their door, can Jeremy trust enough in Aiden and his new home to answer bravely back?

Ratings and reviews

Audiobook Review: Overall – 5 Performance – 5 Story – 5 Great slow-burn romance. I really enjoyed this book and the audio performance by Philip Alces. I like reading stories about reformed characters and Jeremy is recently out of prison. He was raised as a con man by his con man/grifter father but is going straight after serving his sentence. Aiden is eighteen, working at the alpaca farm where Rance Crawford offered Jeremy a job; Jeremy is about nine years older. The slow burn part is the time span from when Jeremy first comes to the farm and when he and Aiden get together about three years later. Jeremy feels like he isn’t good enough for Aiden but Aiden finally convinces him that isn’t true. Once they finally get together, pretty near the end of the book, things really heat up. I’m looking forward to reading the rest of this series.
