Daniel Carter rarely has time for fun. He teaches college freshmen in the mornings, works on his thesis in the afternoons, and delivers pizza at night for a vindictive boss. Life is hectic but the one bright spot in his days is Julius Tanner, one of the nicest guys around. He’s also ridiculously sexy and doesn’t see Daniel as more than a colleague.

What Daniel discovers is the cutest pug ever, and a man he wants to be with, in the worst way. But how can he ever measure up? Still, between the drudgery of pizza delivery, quirky customers, and apathetic students, Julius becomes a constant in Daniel’s life. Can they be more than friends?

Deliver Me

He reminded me of Tyson Beckford. The students, male and female, fawned all over him, and the professors treated him like the second coming of Pythagoras. He probably found it all amusing, most of time, but he seemed to take it all in stride. Being able to see him during the day gave me a reason to keep going because honestly, sometimes I was just too tired to care.


I finally finished grading at seven thirty, which gave me enough time to make some eggs, shower, and jump into Bessie. It didn’t take five minutes before sweat was beading on my forehead as I drove along the busy streets. I always had to carry a change of clothes with me in the summer months since I would sweat through everything by the time I got to the campus. I just didn’t have the money to fix the air right now.
