Payne is 40 and has just found out that his partner of 12 years has been cheating on him for 2 and filming it for OnlyFans. So he moved back home and ends up living his little brother's best friend who's had a crush on him since they were all in highschool. Shenanigans ensue. 

This was very cute. It's light and fluffy, but still has some angst from the cheating plotline and the insecurities that go with having a crush for 20+ years and also the insecurities of having been cheated on. The writing was good, the chemistry was great between the characters, and I never felt like any part overstayed its welcome. Though I do wish the spice was present just a smidge more or that what we had went on a little longer. 

I will probably read the rest of this series.
