Not so Normative, Prequel

Dive into the captivating Not so Normative world with this exciting prequel, featuring Frankie and Diego.

Being the fun-loving, good time not a long time guy was going great for Frankie until he met the ruggedly handsome yet aloof Diego. At first, he thought meeting Diego could be the start to his enemies-to-lovers romance – except he doesn’t do romance. After Diego opens up to him about being trans, they become fast friends and eventually decide to open a business together. Frankie is sure he can be a mature business partner, but does that mean that’s all they can ever be?

Diego has spent a long time working towards becoming the man he is today, but he still has a long way to go, and a lot of goals he wants to achieve. The last thing he needs is the class flirt distracting him. But when Frankie proves to be a lot more than he seems, kind, intelligent and impossible to shake, Diego wonders if he can settle for starting a business together and just being roommates. What could possibly go wrong?

They Were Roommates is a cute MM romance that celebrates the rich diversity of trans-masculine, gay, demi, and omni characters. Explore the sweet and spicy moments these two roommates share as they open an inclusive cafe and form an affirming queer community together.

Exclusive Excerpt:

Frankie, the reason Diego was out drinking in the first place, was in the middle of the dance floor, dancing happily with Dustin and Chris. They’d maintained a semi-close friendship throughout the semester, and Frankie must have just told them his news because suddenly Dustin had his arms around his neck and Chris was squeezing his waist. They danced for a little longer before Dustin made some of the most obvious bedroom eyes at Chris that Diego had ever seen. They excused themselves, and wandered to the staircase in the back of the room, probably to requisition some poor freshman’s room. Diego was a little grateful he hadn’t been in a frat as an underclassman. He didn’t do well sharing spaces with people now, let alone before he had transitioned.

Diego absently watched Frankie dancing, trying not to focus too hard on the way his slender hips moved or the perkiness of his ass. Diego had wide hips and a pretty large ass for a dude, but he sort of liked the way he filled out his pants, and the longer he was on T, the more the extra padding in his butt responded to his many squats and deadlifts and turned into firm muscle.

Frankie on the other hand was all lean lines and subtle curves. Diego usually tried not to let himself imagine anything to do with Frankie, because it gave him a weird sort of longing tinged with dysphoria he couldn’t describe. However, as he considered his potential surgery, he found felt more hopeful than ever that some of the dysphoria might go away.

Diego pulled out his phone and set a reminder for Monday morning. He was going to call his surgeon and inquire about availability. He must have been drunker than he thought, though, because he kept writing wurgeon, qurgeon, and zurgeon over and over until he finally just saved it that way. At least he’d have a nice laugh on Monday before his first final.
