Jordan suffers from debilitating PTSD, nightmares, and flashbacks from being held captive and tortured during his time overseas. He thinks he's beating them back, moving on from the most terrible month of his life, but one thing after another proves they might actually be getting worse. Lincoln is not a person that one might consider to be gorgeous. He's short and stocky, with a few extra pounds around the middle. Still, as a first-grade teacher and just barely in his thirties, he longs for the type of love that his friends have. Agreeing to let his friends set him up on what turned out to be an epically bad blind date, he shouldn't be surprised to see the jerk at said friends barbecue the following night. And boy did he have some embarrassing things to say about Lincoln. It was humiliating. Jordan doesn't like the things he's hearing from the drunk man that's flapping his gums about his terrible date. As far as he could tell, the guy just wasn't his type. There was no need to bash the guy in front of his friends, especially when he steps up and hears every word. It had to be humiliating. Needing to fix the heartache written all over Lincoln's face, Jordan knows that there's something special about the cute, pudgy man. He's even felt it for himself. He just needs Lincoln to feel it too. Lincoln saved me from my nightmares, and he became my dream. This is a male/male romance, with no cliffhanger and a well-deserved happily ever after. This story contains flashbacks of violence that may be triggering for some readers.
