Beck Davidson has to make a quick decision about the frail young man whose unconscious body he nearly tripped over on the crosswalk in front of his apartment at two in the morning on his way home from work: Should he scrape the filthy, platinum blond “pretty boy” off the sidewalk, or leave him to whatever unfortunate, but natural, consequences that come his way? As a loner with no one but Joe the Cat to keep him company, it goes against Beck’s very nature to pick the dude up off the street and carry him upstairs to the safety of his very private home, but he does it. Just because Beck chooses to live an isolated and regimented existence, doesn’t mean he’s heartless. Griffin Detoni’s life defines the expression SOL: shit outta luck. A very bad decision leads to an iron-shaped burn on his extreme lower back and an unlikely male nursemaid… with a very curious cat. Can Griffin’s bad luck turn into Beck’s good fortune?

Mia Kerick is the mother of four exceptional children—one in law school, another at a dance conservatory, a third studying at Mia’s alma mater, Boston College, and her lone son still in high school. She has published more than twenty books of LGBTQ romance when not editing National Honor Society essays, offering opinions on college and law school applications, helping to create dance bios, and reviewing English papers. Her husband of twenty-five years has been told by many that he has the patience of Job, but don’t ask Mia about this, as it is a sensitive subject. Mia focuses her stories on the emotional growth of troubled young people and their relationships. She has a great affinity for the tortured hero in literature, and as a teen, Mia filled spiral-bound notebooks with tales of tortured heroes and stuffed them under her mattress for safekeeping. She is thankful to her wonderful publishing houses for providing her with an alternate place to stash her stories. Her books have been featured in Kirkus Reviews magazine, and have won Rainbow Awards for Best Transgender Contemporary Romance and Best YA Lesbian Fiction, a Reader Views’ Book by Book Publicity Literary Award, the Jack Eadon Award for Best Book in Contemporary Drama, an Indie Fab Award, and a Royal Dragonfly Award for Cultural Diversity, among other awards. Mia Kerick is a social liberal and cheers for each and every victory made in the name of human rights. Her only major regret: never having taken typing or computer class in school, destining her to a life consumed with two-fingered pecking and constant prayer to the Gods of Technology.
