“Me last. Your dreams, Andreas. Everything you’ve wanted—”
He smacked me on the chest. “You first. Everything else second. But, uh…” He closed one eye—something he did when he was about to deliver news and he wasn’t certain how it would land.
“Yes…?”
“This could be a multi-year gig. Huge potential.”
“That’s amazing.” I cocked my head. “Oh, work permit.”
“The lawyers are already on it.”
“Well…” I held myself still. “Does this have something to do with Marco, Troy, and Rocco coming for dinner tomorrow night?”
He sighed.
“Andreas, you’re terrible at keeping secrets. Plus, Troy called me.”
“That shit.”
“Well, he knew what you were planning, and he wanted to make certain I was okay with it. That he’d intervene if I wasn’t.”
“I didn’t…” He winced. “I didn’t want you to think I was proposing just so I could stay in Canada.”
“There are easier ways to doing it than marrying a Canadian.” He still would have a million pieces of paperwork to deal with.
“But none are as much fun.” He held my gaze. “So you want to marry me?”
I rolled my eyes. “Silly man. Of course I do.”
“I love you.”
“I love you too.”
And the next night, before our friends, I officially agreed to marry him.
My second chance had become my forever love.
I couldn’t have been happier.

My coworker died before I could apologize. That's a regret I've had to live with. Then on New Year's Eve, there he is—or his living ghost, as gorgeous as ever. He can't be real, but if there's any chance to right my wrongdoing, I have to take it.
Brody
This guy staring at me across the bar somehow doesn't feel creepy or like he's hitting on me. He seems shocked, almost afraid. And he's a guy I wouldn't toss out of bed for eating crackers, so when he gets the courage to come talk to me, I figure what the hell. Maybe I'll get lucky tonight.
The Last Laugh is a 15k gay romance novella about second thoughts, second glances, and second chances. Also two super-hot men hoping not to go home alone at the end of the night…
