The Promise of Hope Shelter
by Sarah Hadley Brook
GENRE: M/M Romance
BLURB:
Jacob
Baumgardner is struggling to get his nonprofit shelter for gay teens up and
running. The old building needs a lot of help in order for it to pass
inspection. Raised by his grandparents for part of his life, the shelter is his
chance to honor them. Unfortunately, someone is making his dream difficult. An
anonymous extortionist is determined to ruin his late grandfather’s good name
which could mean the end of the shelter.
Luka Smith is fairly new in town and
willing to work hard at any job available. He is struggling to find his place
in the world after a traumatic event in his teen years pushed him to run. When
Jacob hires him to help with repairs at the shelter, Luka falls hard and fast.
He wants nothing more than to be part of his world and help him with his dream,
if Jacob will let him.
As they work together to ensure The
Promise of Hope Shelter gets off the ground, their feelings only grow. But will
a calculating blackmailer close the shelter before they even have a chance?
EXCERPT
“Look
at me, Jacob,” Luka whispered, his hand tilting up Jacob’s chin. When they
stared into each other’s eyes, Jacob smoothed some flyaway hairs from Luka’s
forehead. “I’ve tried to keep my distance from you, but I can’t anymore.”
Jacob’s
eyes widened. “Really? I thought you didn’t want to talk to me.”
“Let
me take you out,” Luka murmured, nuzzling Jacob’s hair. It was more of a
statement than a question, really.
Jacob
wasn’t sure if he should say “yes,” but the pull toward Luka was too intense.
He knew almost nothing about the man, yet he wanted to know everything. “Yes.”
“Tomorrow?”
Jacob
thought about it. Garrett’s shift was tomorrow evening and he would be staying
until morning, so Jacob could definitely go out. Not that he needed all night.
“That works. I’ll need to stay until Garrett Martinson arrives for his shift
around seven.”
“Perfect.
I’ll pick you up at seven-fifteen. Does that work?”
Jacob
nodded, suddenly feeling shy.
AUTHOR Bio and Links:
Sarah Hadley Brook lives
smack-dab in the middle of the Heartland and is the mother of two wonderful
young men, as well as two cats. During the day, she works in the non-profit
world, but reserves evenings for her hobby-turned-passion of writing, letting
the characters she conjures up in her mind take the lead and show her where the
story will go. When not working or writing, she can be found reading, working
on dollhouses, trying her hand at new recipes, or watching old movies and
musicals. In her ideal world, Christmas would come at least twice a year, Rock
Hudson and Doris Day would have co-starred in more than three movies, and
chocolate would be a daily necessity to live. She dreams of traveling to Scotland
some day and visiting the places her ancestors lived. Sarah believes in
“Happily Ever After” and strives to ensure her characters find their own
happiness in love and life.
