Good Intentions - Harry Applebottom

[Stonecold]

Enzo Marcello doesn’t believe in fairy tales. Jaded by heartbreak and burned by past relationships, he’s built a life on control, confidence, and keeping his heart locked tight. But one unexpected swipe on a dating app leads to James—soft-spoken, awkward, and refreshingly sincere.

James Ketter is thirty-one, a virgin, and still trying to believe he’s worthy of love. Taking care of his grandmother has consumed his world, leaving little room for romance—until Enzo calls, and everything changes.

What begins as a video chat quickly turns into something deeper. As walls come down and vulnerabilities surface, Enzo and James find themselves caught in a slow-burning connection that neither expected. But when past fears and emotional scars resurface, they’ll have to can something this real survive the weight of their histories?

Good Intentions is a tender, character-driven MM romance about healing, honesty, and the quiet magic of being seen for who you truly are.
