Twenty years of marriage. Six weeks of divorce papers. Twenty-two years of the same question.
Tom Webber built decks, coached Little League, drove carpool, and loved his wife the way you love someone you chose for the right reasons at the wrong time. The wrong time was the rehearsal dinner, when his best man’s hand landed on his shoulder and Tom’s whole body lit up like something he spent two decades learning to smother. Karen didn’t leave because he was bad. She left because she could feel the half-inch of space he kept between his body and hers that no amount of marriage could close.
The kids are with her this weekend. The house is half empty. He drives to The Back Room in his dad shoes — white New Balances, double-knotted — because a stranger on a divorce forum at 3 AM told him about a place where questions get answered.
His guide doesn’t do small talk. Dominic does the thing beneath the thing. And Tom — the good man from the good neighborhood — is about to find out what honest feels like.
UN/LEASHED is a dark, explicit MM first time romance featuring a straight-to-gay awakening, anonymous guided encounter, and a divorced father who stops being good for everyone else and starts being honest with himself. Book 17 in The Back Room series. Standalone. 18+.
Content Note: Explicit MM scenes, first-time gay experience, institutional setting, and a man who walks in wearing dad shoes and walks out wearing them different. No fade to black.
