    Summary

    The crinkle at the bridge of his nose indicated confusion. The way his lips turned down as he searched the room for something, or someone, else. The unfamiliarity in his eyes. All of it combined into an expression that made her heart sink.

    Summary

    Consumed — Frank Langdon is sober, divorced, and trying very hard to keep his life under control. Then there’s Mel King: brilliant, strange, kind, and suddenly at the center of every thought he has. What starts as friendship built on movie nights, shared shifts, and quiet devotion turns into an all-consuming obsession Frank can’t outrun.

    He’s convinced she could never want him back and too afraid to risk losing her to ask. But one hazy night changes everything, leaving Frank with exactly what he’s always wanted… and the fear he’s ruined it forever.

    Frank Langdon was utterly fucked

    Summary

    Frank was here. At a speed dating event. Which meant that he’d spent his evening sitting across from a dozen other women, looking for the same thing she was - a relationship.

    The realization made her stomach sink. For months now, she’d been telling herself there was a reason Frank hadn’t made a move. Maybe he wasn’t ready after the divorce. Maybe he wasn’t even interested in dating at all - maybe he was too busy with work and the kids to even think about it. But he was here, which meant none of those things were true.

    Frank wanted a relationship - just not with her.

    Summary

    “How do you write to your friend?” Becca asks. “Do you text him?”
    “No, we email.”
    “Cool,” Becca says, smiling. “Can I read one?”
    “No!” Mel says a little too quickly, and Becca looks up in surprise.
    “Why?”
    “Because it’s private,” Mel insists. “I don’t look at your messages to Adam.”
    “But Adam’s my boyfriend,” Becca says. And then she gasps excitedly. “Is he your boyfriend?”

    Mel starts a low-stakes and casual friendship over email. Of course, things get complicated.

    Summary

    Frank Langdon is worried about Mel. She has a lot on her shoulders and doesn't know how to ask for help. He decides that he can help her by giving her moments outside of work where she's just having fun, not taking care of anyone. Mel sees this as a bid for friendship and happily accepts.

    Eventually real friendship blossoms between them, then something more.

    __

    Langdon is separated from the very beginning, just wearing his wedding ring at first to avoid questions or pity at work. He is not immediately looking for love or to get over Abby; it sneaks up on him.
