Charlie’s Hero (Heroes 1) by Nic Starr
Paperback: 200 pages
Publisher: Dreamspinner Press (June 17, 2015)
Language: English
ISBN-10: 1634760948
ISBN-13: 978-1634760942
Amazon: Charlie’s Hero (Heroes 1)
Amazon Kindle: Charlie’s Hero (Heroes 1)
Schoolteacher Charlie Matthews returns to his hometown, looking to regain a sense of community, reconnect with friends, and settle down. It looks like his dreams have come true when paramedic Josh Campbell attends an accident at the school. It’s love at first sight, and a romance begins.
But Josh’s reluctance to come out to the brother who raised him, puts pressure on their fledgling relationship. While Charlie understands Josh’s concerns, he can’t help growing impatient. After all, Charlie came out years ago.
It’s not until Charlie confronts his own parents and realizes he hasn’t come to terms with their rejection that he fully understands what Josh has to lose. But Josh is Charlie’s hero, and Josh will do anything to prove to Charlie that to be part of a family, he doesn’t need his parents.
Excerpt:
Josh suddenly appeared nervous as he twisted his hands and looked around the room.
They both started to speak at the same time.
“Charlie—”
“Josh—”
“You go,” Charlie offered.
“Well… I….” Josh looked at Charlie, his gaze flicking from Charlie’s eyes to his mouth and then toward the door before finally returning to his hands again. “I… maybe I should get going—”
Charlie spoke before Josh could finish the sentence. “Josh.”
Josh leaned toward him, and the desire in his gorgeous eyes caused Charlie’s heart to beat that little bit faster.
“Josh, get over here now.”
Josh blinked once, and once only, before he propelled himself across the couch and took Charlie in his arms. Gone was the shyness as he pressed his mouth to Charlie’s and took Charlie’s breath away.
About the Author: Nic Starr lives in Australia where she tries to squeeze as much into her busy life as possible. Balancing the demands of a corporate career with raising a family and writing can be challenging but she wouldn't give it up for the world.
Always a reader, the lure of m/m romance was strong and she devoured hundreds of wonderful m/m romance books before eventually realising she had some stories of her own that needed to be told!
When not writing or reading, she loves to spend time with her family-an understanding husband and two beautiful daughters-and is often found indulging in her love of cooking and planning her dream home in the country.
You can find Nic on Facebook, Twitter and her blog. She'd love it if you stopped by to say hi.
