Broken Man

A deeply emotional, LGBTQ small-town romance from bestselling author Lydia Michaels, where love, self-acceptance, and second chances take center stage.

A fallen athlete.

A quiet lumberjack.

And a love neither man saw coming…

Luke McCullough’s dreams were destroyed by a football injury, forcing him back to his small-town roots—angry, lost, and nothing like the man he used to be. When Tristan Hughes, an unexpected friend with quiet strength, disarms Luke in the most surprising way, his world is flipped upside down again.

Tristan came to Center County to escape his past, not fall for a brooding, emotionally guarded man who doesn’t know where he belongs. But beneath all that muscle and intensity, Luke hides a vulnerable heart—and Tristan is willing to fight for it.

As their connection deepens, Luke must face his biggest fear—embracing a love that would forever change how others define him, but might also finally set him free.

Bestselling author, Lydia Michaels, has created an unforgettable family saga bursting with sizzling secrets and scandalous moments in this award-winning series, McCullough Mountain, where each story can be read as a stand-alone!
