Cozy Book Box: Small Bones Only

Ideal for enthusiasts of dark, slow-burn romances, this tale weaves a narrative where every secret holds weight and each scar bears a story. Intrigued by the young man's resemblance to someone from his past, William Mayes, founder of Freedom Fighters and renowned music composer, is summoned by the FBI to assist with a human trafficking case. Upon arrival at Manhattan Memorial, he encounters a stunning, terrified young man, bloodied and silent, strapped to a gurney. Despite his best efforts, William can't get the young man to speak, leading him to impulsively invite the stranger home. The young man, non-verbal and volatile, begins to exert control over William's emotions, triggering his own past traumas. As they become increasingly isolated, William's feelings for the young man deepen, blurring lines and leading them down a path filled with hidden truths and lies. Their liberation may lie in the truth, but some secrets might be better left buried, as revealing William's darkest parts could spare no one. 'Only the Small Bones' is an MM romance, the inaugural book in the standalone series 'Slow Burns & Tragic Beginnings', featuring a non-verbal protagonist with touch aversion and mental health representation.
