Running In Circles, book 1: Make You Mine E.M. Lindsey2023

“To love and be loved, it’s all that matters. In the end.”

Socially awkward Noah Leib knows he wants more from life than being a forty-year-old virgin who’s got a failing bakery, a strained relationship with his brother and sister-in-law, and an empty apartment. He just doesn’t know how to change things. Living in Savannah, trying to keep his head above water, Noah is single-minded and plans to stay that way.

And then Noah’s favorite Deaf adult film star’s life falls apart in a very public spectacle on Twitter.

Noah doesn’t expect anything from the ASL message he sends to Adriano Moretti, but when a shadow appears in his bakery doorway one afternoon, he finds Adriano standing there with a small smile on his lips and a hello on his hands. It’s at that moment Noah realizes his life is about to change forever.

Adriano is a force of nature, and Noah is quickly swept up in his wake.

But fantasy has never been Noah’s reality, and there can’t be a happily ever after on that horizon.

Can there?
