Bean (Honorably Discharged Book 2)

After a medical discharge from the Army due to a brain injury, Bean has been working to rebuild his life. His memory problems are significant—he can't recall basic details like what he ate for breakfast, or the attractive older man he went home with one night. When Bean encounters that man, Jarek, a second time and approaches him as if they've never met, Jarek is initially offended. However, once he learns about Bean's memory struggles, he becomes more understanding and is interested in continuing to hook up. Their chemistry is strong, and they begin a friends-with-benefits arrangement. Bean wants to take time discovering who he is after his discharge, while Jarek is looking for a committed relationship. As they spend more time together, Bean finds himself becoming increasingly attached and begins to wonder if friendship is truly all he wants from Jarek. The question becomes whether they might actually want the same thing. Bean is the second book in the Honorably Discharged series and includes themes of found family, an age gap, friends-with-benefits to lovers, and hurt/comfort elements.
