Doner Seller Loves Doner Seller

Why start a grand, larger-than-life project precisely when calm is supposed to settle in? Because reason is overrated. This is the realization Miro comes to as he decides to open a doner shop. Hardly has the perfect venue been found when the first obstacle appears: Emre. A motorcycle, a leather jacket, a bad-boy aura. The most attractive and at the same time the most unfriendly doner seller in the area cares little for Miro’s ambitions and even less for competition.
Between small-town politics, meat shortages, and family interference, Miro’s dream nonetheless moves closer. And Emre’s does too. A Bad Boy in the business plan certainly wasn’t on the agenda. In a setting where you can’t really stay out of each other’s way, everyday life, business rivalry, and unspoken feelings collide and slowly develop into something more.

On Trust, Attraction and the Courage to Real Feelings

The gay romance novel “Turn Me, Baby” (Amazon-Affiliate-Link ) tells of two men who could hardly be more different, and yet share more than they’re willing to admit. The story blends humorous lightness with closeness, tenderness, and honest emotions. From initial frictions, a love story emerges that starts with wit and grows increasingly in emotional depth.
Between village life, the doner shop, and unspoken expectations, it’s about trust, attraction, and the courage to lean into real feelings. As a romantic comedy with gay protagonists, the novel thrives on missteps, heartbreak, and heartfelt moments—and on the realization that love sometimes arrives where you least expect it.
Marc Weiherhof is a Swiss author, storyteller, and world traveler. He lives with his husband and a diva-like cat and has been writing queer novels for many years, shaped by humor, closeness, and emotion as well as tension and unexpected twists. In his gay romance and MM romance books, recurring motifs such as Grumpy meets Sunshine, Found Family, or Slow Burn appear, while his queer thrillers open darker, more suspenseful worlds. Weiherhof sees writing as a way to tell stories of love, loss, new beginnings, and hope — themes that also define “Turn Me, Baby” (dd/pm).
