Cueball & Double-Z (Alpha’s Rejects #5)

I was destined to find them. To face my demons and heal.

Zero (Gio)

I can’t seem to get anything right. Failure after failure. I’m really struggling here. I’ve loved Cole for years, hiding away my feelings from him. But taking care of him is more important than my feelings. I can never seem to get it right, and I’m losing a part of myself. But when Cueball takes us in out of the goodness of his heart when we’re at our most desperate, I start discovering myself again. The old me who laughed and enjoyed life. Now, I find myself loving...

Now, I find myself loving not one man, but two.

Zilch (Cole)

I have a new purpose in life. After ruining our lives, I have a chance to bring happiness back to Gio and me. I’ll always be a bit broken, but I’ve come to accept that. It’s Gio and Cueball who need me the most, my grump and grumpier. They both need healing and love. And I do love them. I can give that to them. I want to give that to them. This is how I heal, too.

Cueball (Marco)

Zero and Zilch are my chaos gremlins. They’ve upended my life and have torn down my walls. For years, I’ve maintained my self-control, keeping my pain neatly tucked away. Now that’s all been shattered, and I have no one to blame but myself. Zero and Zilch, my Double-Z, have broken me down and are building me back up. Perhaps it’s time to face my demons. For the first time in years, I want someone in my life. I want them, but I’m afraid.
