Theo runs the town liquor store—too bad he's a total lightweight! His lifelong best friend, Camilo, runs the cigarette store across the street, and recently, he's been making his attraction to Theo quite clear. Theo is flattered, but he's not sure if he's ready to take their relationship to the next level. Can Camilo convince Theo to give love with a man a chance, knowing that man is Camilo himself?
Blurb:
In the heart of a bustling town, two best friends—Theo, the owner of a liquor store, and Camilo, the owner of a cigarette store across the street—find themselves entangled in a whirlwind romance. Theo, a hopeless romantic with a weakness for alcohol, is initially hesitant to explore the growing feelings between them, but Camilo's unwavering support and love gradually chip away at his resistance.
