Hey, Mister Marshall by Shaffron A. Kent

This book was *chef's kiss* Slow-burn but with so much tension and build-up. And Alric's dirty talk could make you combust. I was wrapped up in this tension-filled story until the end and didn't want it to be over. Alric is the grumpy, alphahole while Poe is the vengeful, sunshine. Neither one know what love feels like, rather giving or receiving. They are both so broken, but together they are perfect.
