The Trade We Made

All Rights Reserved ©

Summary

Trying to cope with the loss of his parents and older brother after a horrific car crash is the hardest thing Bhodi Phelps has ever done. It doesn’t help that he’s autistic, struggles to read people, and often asks the wrong questions at the worst possible time. Bhodi is convinced he can survive on his own, he's nineteen after all, but he isn’t really surviving. He’s drowning in grief. Then he sees his brother’s face staring back at him from a stranger. Firefighter Jayco Brennan may look exactly like Clayton, but he is his own person, and he isn’t prepared for the road Bhodi is about to pull him down. When Bhodi’s uncle Reid arrives and realizes how badly his nephew is struggling, he strong-arms his way into Bhodi’s life and starts trying to fix everything. Bhodi sees it as one more person taking away his choices. Jayco steps between them, hoping to bridge the growing divide. What he doesn’t realize is that while he’s trying to save Bhodi and Reid from losing each other, they may be exactly what he never knew he needed. Through chess games, terrible jokes, and a series of unexpected trades, three stubborn men discover that family doesn’t always come from blood. Sometimes, it’s something you build one trade at a time.

Introduction

I’m excited to have you join me for another Brothers by Choice story.

This one began with a suggestion from a user on Wattpad, K1m1r1C22s1y, who gave me the inspiration for a story about meeting the doppelgänger of a brother you’ve lost and the emotional journey it would take to build a brotherhood that belongs entirely to them.

Also, this one will be a crossover with Westley and Xander, and a little bit of Grey too. If you want their story, check out What the Storm Left Behind and West Side of the Story.

So, a huge thank you to K1m1r1C22s1y for the idea that helped bring Bhodi and Jayco’s story to life.

I hope you enjoy their journey through grief, healing, and the unexpected family they find in each other.

Kimberly: It's nice to have a great book that you can simply melt into. There's a touch of drama but not so much that it's jarring.
