Room 1003

Behind closed doors at The Scarlet Hotel, anything can happen… maybe even repairing a broken heart.Omega Shane loves his job as a cartoonist; it allows him to work from home, which is especially important since the death of his husband two years ago, as he wants to be there for their six-year-old son. Shane has been trying his best to keep the memory of him alive for their child, even if that means purchasing their dream house without him. Even if that dream house has seen better days… or centuries… Oh boy, this renovation is going to take all the help he can get.Alpha Ben is a bear—almost literally—but he prefers to see himself as a gentle giant. His size is deceptive, considering his job as an electrician usually requires a delicate touch. Just as he's wrapping up a job repairing a hotel elevator, he comes across the all-too familiar scent of burnt wires and follows it to its source. He finds himself staring at a man and his son, clearly in need of a hand, and nothing could stop Ben from offering whatever they might need. He meant for it to be a job, a paycheck like any other. Soon, though, he finds he's willing to take a different kind of payment for services rendered—he'll gladly take Shane's heart.Room 1003 is the eighth standalone book in the m/m mpreg romance series, The Scarlet Hotel, from bestselling author Trisha Linde.
