The Wrong Car, the Right Man

Noah Hayes took a job at the Cascadia Reptile Research Institute expecting to work with animals that couldn’t talk back. Then he met Avery. The institute’s most stubborn black python refuses his food, steals Noah’s towels, and flicks his tail across Noah’s backside whenever he bends over. Noah is pretty sure Avery hates him. Then one morning, he wakes up in the arms of a handsome, gold-eyed stranger who knows exactly what happened the day Noah kissed Avery on the head. Turns out Avery’s been flirting this whole time. He wants a home, a family, and kids with Noah. He just hasn’t thought to ask him on a date. Noah suggests dinner. Avery asks if breakfast will do. And somehow, between three desserts before eight in the morning, a stolen pillow, and an incident involving a folding chair, Noah starts looking forward to whatever ridiculous thing Avery will do next.
