Valentine Wish

Linked to "The Wish" by the same author

Anton Lewis left the streets and the gangs behind, remaking himself into an honest man. He has a steady job and an acquired family, but an empty bed. Anton’s Valentine’s and birthday wish is for a lover with some meat on his bones. He’s had his eye on the owner and chef of his favorite restaurant, but Anton has shied away from reaching out.

Chef Thierry Guillaume wants to be a lover, not a fighter, but love has been elusive and the fight has come to him. Pity the fool who attacks Thierry behind the restaurant, because Anton has forgotten nothing of his street smarts and is more than ready to rush to Thierry's aide, just in time for a Valentine's surprise.
