Asa isn’t looking for romance. Danny thinks it’s out of reach. Shared memories, mutual truths, and new adventures kindle a spark between them that neither expects. No matter how messed up his own life is, Danny Dorfmann is the guy everyone can count on when they need a favor. So when his friend and secret crush, Asa Behar, has a family emergency and needs a last-minute sitter for his 120-pound pitbull, of course Danny won’t say no. Since the loss of his husband, Asa has coasted through his days, keeping it together but not really living. Reconnecting with his once close-knit group of friends is the first step in reclaiming his life. Deepening his relationship with Danny could be the most important. If a roommate from hell, meddling friends, and well-intentioned family don’t douse the embers, they might just find they’re each other’s true flame. Dependable Danny will have to stand up and stop letting them walk all over him, if he wants his happily ever after. Danny Doormat is a sweet contemporary slow-burn, friends to lovers, where the guy who everyone overlooks finally finds the man who sees him for who he is. First in a series where artists find love—Portland style.
