In a world where beauty is prized, Toby is blind. His parents have protected him from the world, but despair about what will become of him as he is useless, broken. Along comes Derik, a spy who was caught and spent years being tortured before escaping and returning home. Scared and ugly, even his voice was changed by his experiences. He too, is broken. So what happens when the young man who can't see with his eyes falls in love with the raspy growl that is Derik's voice? What happens when Toby's presence is the only thing that keeps Derik's demons at bay? Will the world let these two broken men make a whole? Find out in Hearing Beauty.

Sunshine and light breezes, the scent of sea-drenched skin, dewed-grass under foot. Cowboy hats, tuxedos, painted on jeans. Blue eyes, grey eyes, green eyes, crinkled at the edges eyes. Snow, rain, wind. Love in the morning. Love in the afternoon. Love in the evening. The sole of a man's foot, a working man's hands, a strong back, the curve of an ass. These are a few of Mike's favorite things. Want to know more? Read Mike's books, most days his characters feel more real to him than he does.
