About this audiobook

When Portland chef Jay stops by his dealer’s apartment, he isn’t expecting to meet Dylan—a confident, breathtaking man who flirts like romance never went out of style. What begins as an unexpected spark quickly turns into something real: late-night texts, awkward first dates, and the terrifying hope that love might still be possible. As Dylan’s patience and sincerity break through Jay’s defenses, both men learn that vulnerability is its own kind of courage. Through laughter, fear, and quiet acts of care, they begin to unlearn everything the world taught them about what they deserve. A tender, deeply human love story, Hard to Believe is about second chances, self-worth, and the fight to believe you’re worthy of happiness. It’s for the people who had to fight a little harder for their happy endings.

About the author

J.T.

I grew up in the Pacific Northwest and served as a U.S. Army combat medic, graduating on 9/11. After my service, I built a business in Miami and found purpose through music and writing. I’ve sung with gay men’s choruses nationwide and write because silence kills—around addiction, identity, and grief. My work explores love in its rawest forms and demands compassion where systems fail. I write to honor those I’ve lost and to remind others they’re never alone in the fight to be seen, loved, and heard. I live in the Pacific Northwest with my dog, Hunny. View all by J.T.
