The Marrying Kind
Owen & Nathan series – book 2
Cover Artist: Garrett Leigh
Publisher: Jay Northcote
We've got blurbage:
Nathan wants to put a ring on it, but is Owen the
marrying kind?
Two years on from
their first date, Owen and Nathan are living together and life is good—except
they’re not on the same page about marriage.
A traditionalist at
heart, Nathan wants it all: the wedding, the vows, and a pair of matching
rings. Owen, on the other hand, believes marriage is old-fashioned and
unnecessary. They don’t need a wedding to prove their commitment to each other.
Love should be enough on its own.
All it takes is one
moment of weakness on a night out to force the issue. Owen finds himself
engaged after a half-drunk proposal, and Nathan’s enthusiasm sweeps him along.
But as the big day approaches, the mounting tension finally combusts.
If he’s going to save
their relationship, Owen will need to decide once and for all if he’s truly the
marrying kind.

And a sneak peek:
Nathan glanced surreptitiously at
Owen sitting beside him as Jack and Simon spoke their vows. Jack’s voice was
quiet but sure, and Simon’s rang out clearly over the assembled crowd.
Owen’s gaze was fixed on the
couple, and his eyes were suspiciously bright. As Nathan watched, Owen cleared
his throat and wiped what Nathan assumed was a tear out of the corner of his
eye.
Nathan suppressed a smile and
turned his attention back to the groom and groom. So much for Owen’s protests
that he didn’t see the point in weddings and that they were outdated, pointless
events that were stupid even for straight couples unless they were religious.
Even if he didn’t believe in the principle of marriage—gay or otherwise—it was
nice to see he wasn’t totally immune to the emotion of the occasion. Nathan was
going to enjoy taking the piss out of Owen later. But in the meantime, he
reached for Owen’s hand and squeezed. Owen squeezed back.
Nathan’s eyes were moist too by
the time they’d finished. The part where the celebrant said “I now pronounce
you husband and husband” really set him off. Simon looked so utterly radiant
after he and Jack finally stopped kissing and turned to face the wedding
guests, hand in hand. Jack was flushed and awkward compared to Simon. He
obviously wasn’t happy being the centre of attention, unlike his new husband,
but his smile was genuine and the joy rolled off both of them, touching
everyone in the room.
Nathan sighed. Owen’s hand was
still in his. Their fingers were tangled together casually—just like their
lives. They’d been in a relationship for over two years now, living together
for half of that, and Nathan had never been happier. But looking at Simon and
Jack, he wanted more. He wanted that. But he was afraid to ask Owen, because he
was pretty sure what his answer would be, and it wouldn’t be the one Nathan
hoped for.
