Loved Like a Little by Aria Grace

Billy never had much self-confidence. Things weren’t great growing up in his household, but when his mom died, his dad became even worse. And there was nothing he could do to make his dad like him. When he was at college, it was easier to ignore his dad’s drinking and harassment. But when Billy comes home after graduating culinary school, all those old wounds are opened up again. Not only does he have Little tendencies, but they’re hiding under extra pounds that make him feel wholly unlovable.
When Axel gets hired to build an apartment in the building his doggy daycare is located in, he’s excited for the job. But he also has an ulterior motive. The cute new guy is so sweet and looks so cuddly…and like he really needs a good Daddy.
The fact that Billy is really just a Little who’s looking for a Daddy becomes evident when an embarrassing situation makes both of their true selves spark to life.
