Young-Boy by Beau Brown

He’s the same age as my son. He’s my son’s best friend. I can’t cross that line.

Fireman Sharky Jones is the alpha everybody loves. He’s everyone’s best friend. The divorced single dad raised his son, now twenty-six, all by himself. Since he focused all his attention on his son, Daniel, his love life is now a distant memory. He’s forty-four years old, and his kid doesn’t need him anymore. What’s he supposed to do with the rest of his life?
Kurt Summer’s has been Daniel’s best friend since kindergarten. When his abusive parents got too out of control, he’d have sleepovers at his best friend’s house. He always felt safe at Sharky’s house, and he knew the older alpha would never let anything bad happen to him. Kurt has had a secret crush on Sharky since puberty hit. He’s kept his feelings to himself because he didn’t want to make things awkward with his best buddy by crushing on his dad.

Looking up to Sharky has always been easy. Kurt even became a fireman because he respected what Sharky did for a living. When he’s transferred into Sharky’s department, the two men become even closer. But Sharky isn’t comfortable crossing lines with a kid the same age as his son, and even if he could get past the age thing, Kurt is his son’s best friend. He can’t risk alienating his son.
When Sharky fosters a four-year-old boy, whose parents are killed in a car wreck, Kurt volunteers to help him out. Sharky has always thought of Kurt as a kid, although he can admit he’s had some very confusing sexual feelings since Kurt has started spending so much time with him.

Things are getting complicated. Kurt is aware of the hungry looks Sharky sends him, although the alpha never makes any move on the younger omega. But Kurt isn’t willing to stay on the sidelines anymore, and watch Sharky date other people. He’s not the child Sharky thinks he is, and he’s ready to make his move.
