The trip was free. The falling wasn’t.
Mark Delgado doesn’t do vacations. He takes meetings and schedules inspections.
So when his best friend Finn drags him to a charity drag show and a queen named Ineeda Phalis diagnoses him as the saddest man in Tampa, Mark figures the night can’t get any worse.
Then he wins the raffle. His prize? A week at an all-inclusive tropical resort. Mark arrives with three suitcases, a first aid kit, and the only collared shirt on the entire island.
He’s ready to flee . . . until he spots another overdressed man in the lobby.
Wes, a travel photographer with an easy grin, has absolutely no idea what he’s about to do to a man who has spent his whole, careful life keeping his armor on.
The trip includes four days, a hidden cove, and a flame that burns far too hot for two grown men who both know better. It’s also the best week of Mark’s life.
Warm, funny, and shamelessly feel-good, Comped!
is the Barbacks series prequel that finally tells the story of how the bar’s gruff co-owner learned to “get in the pool.” Expect a meddling Irishman, a retiree with a betting habit, the most overpacked suitcase in tropical history.
Oh—and a happily-ever-after worth the wait.
