Intentions Duet Books in Order

The Intentions Duet is a two book MM romance set squarely inside the Chicagoverse, pairing a sharp, ambitious assistant with a media mogul who has carefully kept his private life off camera. It is about lies told for one night, the second chances that follow, and what happens when good intentions collide with bad decisions.

Gabriel Romero has had a rough stretch. He put law school on hold, is scrambling to get back on track, and knows that landing a job at elite firm Mitchell & Madison could change everything. Gabe is smart, organised, and used to making himself useful, even if it means pushing down his own wants.

At a work party he meets Marcus St. James, the powerful president of ENN WorldWide News. Marcus is older, polished, and used to being in control, both in the boardroom and the bedroom. The attraction between them is immediate and mutual, but in the rush of the night Gabe tells one small lie about who he is, assuming he will never see Marcus again.

Bad Intentions explores the fallout from that choice. When their worlds overlap in daylight, Gabe realises that the man he hooked up with is now deeply entangled with his new job and his boss. The line between professional and personal blurs, and he has to navigate guilt, desire, and the fear that he has ruined something before it even began.

In Good Intentions, the story shifts focus to Marcus. We see a man who thought he had his life exactly how he wanted it, with work at the centre and romance as an optional extra. Gabe forces him to re examine that balance. Marcus must decide whether protecting his routines is worth losing the young man who has brought music, chaos, and unexpected joy back into his days.

The duet is emotionally rich without being punishing, blending age gap and workplace tropes with Frank’s usual high heat. It also ties neatly into the broader Chicagoverse: Logan Mitchell, Cole Madison, and other familiar characters drift through, reminding readers that this world is interconnected and that every new couple’s choices echo through a much larger found family.
