    About this ebook

    Hanson Yoo despises his job. He works seven days a week and is in line for junior partner, but that's not enough anymore. Why does he do it? To please his mother, or at least that's how it began. But now, not even that can keep him going.

    Late one night, Hanson helps an acquaintance out of a bad situation and meets Lindsey Grier, a man he's been admiring from afar.

    When Lindsey flirts with him, Hanson isn't sure if it's real or out of gratitude. Things like that don't happen to him, and he has little self-confidence. Rather than take a chance, he cuts his losses and runs away. But then he doesn't get the partnership, and realizes he has nothing left to lose.

    Hanson has been given a second chance, and isn't going to waste it. Maybe by learning to love himself, he can love someone else, too.

      Loving Me, Loving You

      By J.D. Walker

      Sara Yoo would be the death of me someday.

      My mother and I were having dinner at her favorite restaurant as we did once a week—unless she said otherwise because, yes, she was the boss of me—and it never failed to be an exercise in embarrassment and futility on my behalf.

      Mom! I hissed, hoping she’d take the hint while knowing she wouldn’t. She never did.

      I prayed my face wasn’t tomato-red as I listened to the woman who gave birth to me inform the new male server—quite loudly—that I was thirty-five, single, and in need of sex and a boyfriend, in that order.

      You’re not seeing anyone, are you? she asked, her innocent smile anything but.

      Naturally, the man looked at her as though she had snakes for hair, and instead of turning to stone, he quickly placed our food on the table before running away. He was likely straight, though his retreating form wasn’t bad to ogle. Which meant I was as desperate as my mom had implied.

      I sighed and picked up a fork to focus on eating. When Sara was lucky and her target actually responded to her efforts to pimp me out, the victim in question often gave me a pitying smile, looked me over from head to toe, and found me wanting.

      A couple of times, I’d gone out with the men my mom had foisted on me, if only to shut her up, and the dates had been disasters of epic proportions. It never went past a one-night stand, if I was that lucky.

      It wasn’t that I didn’t appreciate Sara’s over-enthusiastic attempts to find me someone. She’d been happily married to my dad for twelve years before his heart gave out, and she wanted me to find a love like she’d had. I just resented the idea that she thought I couldn’t do it myself, though that seemed true enough after all this time.

      I loved my mother. She was the best, but she didn’t know when to quit. As she tried to corner another member of the wait staff, I’d had it.

      Mom, enough already, I snapped.

      She sniffed delicately. You’re in a fine mood, I see. Rough day at work? She sipped her water. I don’t know what the problem is. You’re cute as a button, though you could smile more, and you have an excellent job, perfect skin and no halitosis. What’s not to like? The bar was high, wasn’t it?

      I’m too short, too Asian, too thin, too old, not Korean-enough…need I go on? I stabbed a piece of potato on my plate and stuffed
