Ellis Young has dreams that will never come true, or so he believes. The things he wants are unattainable for someone like him- dumb, poor, ‘easy’. He longs to be cared for by someone who sees him as more than a one-night stand or bathroom quickie.

Jagger Ward sees Ellis for who he is but struggles to break down the walls Ellis has built while trying to keep himself from getting hurt... again. On the outside, Jag is a happy, stable, and confident man. He owns a thriving business and spends his days living life the way he wants. But underneath the façade, Jag is miserable. His tragic past haunts him. He blames himself for what happened, and it’s a daily battle to keep the guilt and sadness hidden.

When Jag meets Ellis, he feels something other than numbness for the first time in years. The only thing he wants is to care for Ellis, but Ellis is a closed book and refuses to let him in. Jag is determined to show Ellis that he won’t give up so easily. Can both men find each other through the wreckage of their past.

Finding Support is a steamy, m/m romance where two men fight against themselves to find the love and support they deserve.
