Sabastian:

"Some men are hopeless romantic fools, while others are simply misguided. I find myself caught in both traps, perpetually unaware of what's good for me. Once my heart gravitated toward the wrong types of men.

Take Robbie, my ex-boyfriend, and part-time lover, he was a master of deception, but deep down, I recognized his dishonesty, yet I kept returning to him, captured by his charm and humor. I mistakenly believed if Robby kept me laughing, I could forget his cheating, and laughter was enough to sustain a relationship.

One day the harsh reality hit me when I discovered he had been juggling two other partners behind my back.

Now, I grappled with the fear of opening my heart to someone who genuinely cared for me. He was not the typical younger guy I was accustomed to dating; at forty, this handsome dude came into my life, but he was a decade and a half my senior. He was super-hot and drop-dead gorgeous while I considered myself just average.

Financially, he was well-established, whereas I was still recovering from the emotional toll Robbie took on me. Despite his forty-something reputation as a notorious playboy, I found myself irresistibly drawn to him, and I was determined to pursue him and make him mine."

This an M/M romance with enemies to lovers, and age gap with a HFN ending.
