Summary

Mermaids aren’t real…because if they are…they killed his parents.
 
At least that’s what Hudson Clark believes until an injured mermaid washes up on his yacht during a storm. The moment he uncovers a half-naked woman in a bed of seaweed and sees her eerie not quite human aquamarine eyes gazing up at him in pain, he’s drowning in her gaze. Learning the truth that mermaids are real…he knows he should hate this beautiful creature, should fear her, but all he wants to do is kiss her…and a whole lot more.
 
 
 
Talia wasn’t born a mermaid. Two years ago she’d been a human woman who’d fallen from her boat during a party and hit her head. But after agreeing to a bargain with the sea, she’s been cursed…with fins. The only light that pierces the dark depths of her watery world is the glimpses she steals on the surface of Hudson. Tall, dark and handsome, he fits every forbidden fantasy she has, because he’s human and she isn’t. After she seeks refuge on his yacht to escape sharks during a storm, she can’t resist staying away from him, can’t resist kissing him. What’s a mermaid to do when a human lures her out of the water and onto land?

Suddenly jobless and single after a devastating layoff and a breakup with his cheating ex, advertising copywriter Dominick Gibson flees his life in Hell’s Kitchen for a fresh start in his hometown of Detroit. He’s got one objective—exit the shallow dating pool ASAP and get married by thirty-five—and the deadline’s approaching fast.  Meanwhile, Dom’s best friend, Troy Clements, an idealistic teacher who never left Michigan, finds himself at odds with all the men in his life: a troubled boyfriend he’s desperate to hold onto, a perpetually dissatisfied father, and his other friend, Remy Patton. Remy, a rags-to-riches real estate agent known as “Mr. Detroit,” has his own problems—namely choosing between making it work with a long-distance lover or settling for a local Mr. Right Now who’s not quite Mr. Right. And when a high-stakes real estate deal threatens to blow up his friendship with Troy, the three men must figure out how to navigate the pitfalls of friendship and a city that seems to be changing overnight.  Full of unforgettable characters, Boys Come First is about the trials and tribulations of real friendship, but also about the highlights and hiccups—late nights at the wine bar, awkward Grindr hookups, workplace microaggressions, situationships, frenemies, family drama, and of course, the group chat—that define Black, gay, millennial life in today’s Detroit.
