Jalen & Colby by HJ Welch

One Daddy, two boys, and the epic road trip that brings them together

ANDREAS
While selling a bunch of stuff that’s been sitting in storage here in Sydney, I end up with two guys aggressively bidding on the same childhood toys. I worry I’ve got a fight on my hands until I realize they’re actually best friends trying to buy them for each other as a Christmas gift. The solution? Simple! They live right here in the city, so I hand-deliver the present for both of them to share. What’s not so simple is how adorable these young men are. How gorgeous. How the more time we spend together, the more it’s starting to feel like love…

JALEN
Of course I love my BFF, Colby. Duh. I moved from California to Australia for him! But as much as I want him to be mine, I know I’m a walking disaster, and he needs someone better than me to take care of him. Someone like Andreas. He appears in our life like a Christmas miracle, looking after both of us like some sort of dream Daddy. It doesn’t hurt that he’s not only successful but also crazy generous. He seems to adore spoiling us, so when he offers to take us on an amazing trip back to his home in the UK for the holidays, how can we refuse? And if we just happen to accidentally fall into bed together, would that be so terrible?

COLBY
Thanks to the power of the internet, Jalen has been there for me for years when my own family turned their backs on me. But even after we moved in together, I know he just sees me as a friend. He’s too fabulous, too bright, too beautiful for shy little me, so I’ve never said a word. However, something strange starts happening the more time we spend with our new friend, Andreas. The older man gives the most amazing cuddles and can’t seem to stop showering me and Jalen with gifts. Traveling to England feels like something from a fairy tale, but what’s even more unbelievable is the way his eyes light up when he’s with me and my best friend. Am I crazy? Could three really be the magic number?
