RIVER
It's been way too long since I set foot on the streets of Mulligan’s Mill. I know that better than anyone. But after serving six years in the Marines I just wasn’t ready to return home, so I got myself a motorcycle and spent another two years driving across the country, sleeping under the stars, avoiding the idea of going back until I was finally ready—ready to see my father again, ready to try and forget what had happened during my deployment overseas, hoping that reuniting with my best friend Clarry would wash away all the hurt and help me start over again.
Sure, we’re an odd match, me and Clarry. I’m a war hero and built like a tank, while he’s still the sweet, sensitive, chubby kid he was at school, only now he runs the town’s ice cream parlor. While we’re a classic case of opposites attract, it’s his kindness and creativity that I’ve always loved most about him. But when Clarry and I finally get together after all these years apart, things are kinda weird. There’s a distance between us that has me worried our relationship has changed. I can’t put my finger on it, but the more I feel like I’m losing my best friend, the more desperately I’ll fight to have him in my life… to keep him safe… to hold him close.
CLARRY
Oh fudgesicles! River is back in town and although I want to see him more than anything else in the world, I’m also terrified that I’ll make a complete fool of myself in front of him… or that he’s forgotten who I even am… or worse still, that my lifelong secret crush on him will somehow surface and he’ll never want to speak to me again. I’m determined to play it cool, to stay calm, to focus on what I do best which is make ice creams and hide my true feelings beneath my happy, friendly smile.
But like a scoop of Cherry Berry Bubblegum Bliss melting in the sun, I can feel my confidence dripping away and my terrified true feelings beginning to show. Will I be able to stay as cool as a cone of Twirly Swirly Snickerdoodle Sundae… or will I fudge it all up and ooze into his strong arms like an Ooey Gooey Gooseberry Gobsmacker? If I do blurt out my feelings for my best friend, will he stay strong and steadfast and reject my undying love for him? Or could there be a bend in River?
The Bend in River is the third full-length novel in the Small Town MM Romance series Mulligan’s Mill… a small town with the biggest of hearts!”
