Blurb:
Guy Rogers is extremely attracted to his new realtor,
Tom Beaudreaux. As a passionate vegetarian and animal activist, he’s ecstatic
that Tom is a kindred soul. He could never be with a carnivore. Unfortunately,
Tommy isn’t really a vegetarian or animal activist. He never said he was
either, he just didn’t eat meat when he was with Guy. And maybe he emptied his
house of all meat and dairy products before inviting Guy over. In fact, Tommy’s
family owns the most popular barbecue restaurant in town and if his family has
their way, he’ll manage the new location.
When Guy finds out that Tommy eats meat and his family
owns a restaurant that is a monument to eating meat, he’s livid and doesn’t
know if he wants anything else to do with Tommy.
But then Guy’s life gets crazy –his dad’s paranoia
blossoms into violent dementia, he gets arrested for picketing a doggy mill,
and then he winds up in even more legal trouble. When Tommy sticks by him
through all his trouble and does everything he can to help him, Guy wonders if
he’s been too militant and narrow-minded. Perhaps he can learn to live with
people who have opposite views.
Excerpt:
Guy finished his meal, wadded up his
napkin and dropped it on his plate. “Do you think it will take long to find
more houses for me to look at?”
“I’ll make you—it—my priority. Just
give me a couple days.” Damn! A
Freudian slip.
Guy reached over as if to put his hand
on Tommy’s, but stopped in midair. His eyes softened and hope flickered. “I’d
like it if you made me, not my business, your priority.”
Tommy’s throat went dry and his heart
flipped over. “Do you mean what I think you mean?”
Guy lowered his hand and took Tommy’s
in his. “I think so. I like you—a lot. You’re handsome and charming and I feel
a connection. I know it’s quick, but I’m a forthright, fast kind of guy.
Besides, if you find me a house as rapidly as I want, you’ll be out of my life
before I can do anything about it. Do I have a chance with you?”
Tommy wanted to jump up from his seat
and shout, “Hell yeah!” But his inner angel was quarreling with his inner devil
about work ethics. It wasn’t as if real estate agents had long-term contracts
or dealings with their clients. They found a home, closed the deal then moved
on to the next client. He supposed it wouldn’t be the end of his career if he
got together with one client. Feeling as if his heart had leapt into his
throat, he turned his hand over and squeezed Guy’s fingers. “Yeah. I like you a
lot too.”
