American Traditional — E.M. Lindsey

Only a lucky few meet their soulmates-and for Sage Osbourne, loving and losing him came all at once.Sage couldn't be more different from his twin brother Derek. They suffered under the same cruel father, but Sage managed to escape just before hitting rock bottom, and that was where met the love of his life. Unfortunately, just as he was starting to think in terms of forever, Teddy was taken from him. Terrified to try again, Sage found a home at the Irons and Works tattoo shop and resigned himself to being alone. After all, that was a lot better than the crushing grief that came with loss.And then Will Rahman smiled at him across his café counter, and Sage's world began to rearrange.Tasked with tutoring Will's little sister, Sage gets closer to the man than he intends to, and he's torn in half when he realizes Will is in an abusive relationship. He wants to help, but his fear of loving and losing keeps getting in his way. Sage isn't the kind of man who takes brave leaps, but the longer he spends with Will, the more he realizes that the other man might be worth it. Even if it means risking his heart one more time.
