Books by Merritt Gale
High-heat MM romance. Complicated hearts. Hard-won happily ever afters.
Merritt Gale writes contemporary MM romance about men finding love, home, and connection when they least expect it.
Expect small towns, found family, hurt/comfort, complicated pasts, plenty of heat, and characters learning that starting over doesn’t have to mean leaving every part of the past behind.
The stories may get messy. The happily ever afters are guaranteed.
The Glenwood Lodge Series
Welcome to Glenwood Lodge, a secluded retreat tucked into the Adirondack Mountains, where the coffee is strong, the views are spectacular, and apparently no one is very good at keeping their heart out of things.
The Glenwood Lodge Series is a collection of interconnected contemporary MM romances centered around the lodge and the people who find their way there.
Each book follows a different couple and delivers its own complete love story and HEA, while familiar faces, friendships, and the found family surrounding Glenwood Lodge continue throughout the series.
Expect small-town romance, emotional intimacy, high heat, complicated men, and a place that has a habit of becoming home.
Glenwood Lodge is a fictional setting created for the Glenwood Lodge series and is not affiliated with any real-world property or business.
