Lost and Found

"You can't run away from your problems forever. You have a chance to be happy-or, at least, happier than you were. Don't let it slip between your fingers because you're afraid to face reality."

Pierce Downing isn't looking for a relationship. Fresh off a divorce from his high school sweetheart, the last thing he needs in his life is another ex, and the small town of Lavender Valley promises the quiet, peaceful escape he needs.

Julian Schafer is everything Pierce isn't: sweet, community-driven, and friends with everyone. He has a way with people, and Pierce-much to his chagrin-is no exception. But Julian is also gay, and Pierce isn't attracted to men at all.

So why is he falling for the handsome librarian who swears Pierce isn't his type either?

As their feelings for each other begin to change, so too does Lavender Valley: old rumors of a lost magical keeper reawaken, and the entire town must reckon with its past mistakes lest disaster strike.

If Pierce doesn't allow himself to open up and stop hiding from the life he truly wants, and Julian can't bring the town together long enough to save it, they may lose their chance at love forever. And forever is a very long time.

Lost and Found is a cozy small-town MM romance with a grumpy/sunshine pairing, opposites attract, gay awakening, forced proximity, found family, magical realism, and more.
