Leather & Pine (MxM/Love Triangle)

Atticus Hawthorne never thought he’d return to Pine Hollow—the Southern woods he fled fifteen years ago to escape a father who couldn’t love him. But his father’s death pulls him back to the cabin he once called home, along with Elijah, his ambitious boyfriend more worried about deadlines and Wi-Fi than the ghosts waiting for Atticus. What he doesn’t expect is Tobias Reed—his childhood best friend, the one who stayed behind, caring for Atticus’s father, living off the land, and shaping a life from leather, roots, and quiet resilience. As Elijah drifts farther away, Tobias grows impossibly closer. Old memories, old wounds, and unspoken longing resurface, forcing Atticus to face the love he never recognized, the grief he never shed, and the home he never knew he needed. In Leather & Pine, desire, loyalty, and the past collide in the quiet of the Southern woods, where sometimes, the heart remembers before the mind does. {This is a favorite of mine! I was inspired by a movie I watched with a similar premise but I cannot remember the movie for the life of me.. if I ever do I will credit the movie here!! Choose who Atticus stays with or if he wants both! Let me know about your adventure in the comments!}
