Blurb/Synopsis:
Home, love, and possibilities he never
imagined are waiting for Billy Joe to claim them. But first he needs to escape
the horrors of his past.
A
twisted act of cruelty and prejudice drives Billy Joe from his Mississippi
home, and he makes it as far as Pennsylvania—where his car breaks down just as
the year’s first snowstorm blows in. Fortunately, Carlos is there to lend a
hand.
Carlos is no stranger to hardship. His
family rejected him for being gay, but with determination, he put himself
through school and became a librarian. Carlos sees the same willpower in Billy,
and he wants to help Billy and his son succeed in a new life that is very
different from the one they left behind. With his support, they start to
adjust, and before long, both men want more than encouragement from each other.
They want the chance for a future together, but their families have other
ideas… and Billy’s will stop at nothing to get what they want.

Excerpt
“I wanted to ask. Is the dad you helped
cute?”
And here Carlos had thought he’d managed to
escape Angie’s matchmaking fanaticism… just once. She was the happiest person
Carlos had ever known, and she wanted everyone to be as deliriously content as
she was… whether they wanted it or not.
He groaned, trying to figure out how he
could not answer without just hanging up.
Angie wasn’t going to let it go. “Just tell
me!”
“Dang it. Yeah, he was cute, in a sort of
clueless, scared rabbit sort of way. The guy is running from something. That’s
pretty obvious, and there was fear written all over his face. I’m not sure what
it was, but I think he looks the same way I did when I left Amarillo in the
middle of the night. My cousin had threatened to kill me rather than have a
maricón in his family.” Carlos swallowed hard as he remembered packing and
getting out of town ahead of the lynch mob.
“That bad?” She whistled softly. “Just be
careful and don’t get taken in.”
He rolled his eyes. She was a total mother
hen. “I’ll be fine. It’s only for a night, and tomorrow he’ll probably be on
his way.” He ended the call, making her promise again to let him know when she
made it home okay.
His stomach rumbled, reminding him he
hadn’t stopped to pick up something for dinner the way he originally had
intended. He stared at the contents of his refrigerator and decided to reheat
some pasta he’d made earlier in the week.
Carlos sat at his small table, eating his
dinner. He was in no hurry, and a relaxing evening seemed in order. Once he was
done, Carlos rinsed his dishes, headed to the sofa, and settled in to
read.
Books were his passion, so he spent his
spare time with them rather than the television. The wind rattled the windows,
and even though the apartment was warm, the sound chilled him. He grabbed the
blanket from off the back of the sofa and pulled it over him, making a nest
before getting lost in the story of pirates and adventure on the high seas.
Angie texted him that she was home just as he got back into the story.
