Falling for your best friend is hard enough. Falling for your straight, soon-to-be-married best friend? That’s pure ache.
He’s always been there—Gael Herrera. Off-limits. Unavailable. The one man Jude could never have. So when Jude plans a surprise bachelor party weekend in Vegas, it’s meant to be a goodbye. A final chance to let go.
But after one kiss changes everything, Jude starts to wonder if he’s been wrong all along.
In a city where nothing stays hidden for long, friendship teeters on the edge of something deeper. The question is, will Gael take the leap—or leave Jude holding the pieces?
Ache is a slow-burn, friends-to-lovers MM romance full of longing, tension, and emotional depth from USA Today bestselling author Marley Valentine.
