Does trauma define or motivate a person?
Homeless and rejected, Henry Sullivan arrived on
the doorstep of Ryan’s Place with nothing but the clothes on his back. Life as
he knew it was over. Within those walls, Henry found the encouragement and love
needed to turn hopeless into hopeful. Enrolling for summer classes at his
community college was the first step toward achieving the dreams he thought
were lost to him. There was just one little snag: the professor standing in the
front of the room taught Henry the true meaning of human sexuality.
After a crushing breakup, Professor Ezra Meyer
moved to the Queen City for a fresh start where everything was new—job, home,
and friends. His first challenge: prove the benefits of his biology of human
sexuality course outweighed the controversy. Ezra agreed to teach the class
during the summer semester at a community college associated with his
university to gauge interest. There was just one little problem: Ezra had
personally demonstrated the unit on Sexual Technique and Behaviors with one of
his students.
Random or Fate?
It was supposed to be a harmless hookup on a
night when Henry was celebrating his birthday and Ezra was trying to ease his
loneliness. Fast forward six months later, the attraction blazed hotter than
ever, but acting on it could have dire consequences neither man was willing to
risk. Or were they? Could true love be Henry and Ezra’s ultimate reward, or
were they destined to become just another sad lesson learned?
Beautiful Trauma is a story about triumph over
tragedy, embracing the unexpected, and a reminder that family is more than
biology. Are you looking for a feel-good romance with witty banter, toe-curling
passion, and a story that stays with you long after the final page? Look no
further. Beautiful Trauma is the third book in the Queen City Rogues series but
reads as a standalone book. It contains sexually explicit material and colorful
language and is intended for adults 18 and over.
Excerpt
“Can we talk?”
“Is this about missing class, Ezra?”
I pinned him with a disbelieving look. “You think I drive around
to my students’ apartments when they miss school?”
“I know how important this class is to you, and my poor attendance
reflects badly on you,”Henry said.
“I’m not here to discuss your absences, Henry.”
Henry tilted his head slightly then studied me. “Then why are you
here?”
How did I answer him? Did I tell him I didn’t know, or did I tell
him the truth? Maybe not knowing why I came was the truth. No, I could lie to
myself all I wanted, but I couldn’t lie to him. I
crossed the room until I stood directly in front of him.
Even though I wanted so badly to touch him, I kept my hands to my sides. “I
couldn’t stay away.”
