Grá Mo Chroí

By Katey Hawthorne

St. Patrick's Day used to be all about the Party for Kellan and Jamie Monday. A bottle of Powers; a case of Guinness; random relatives and friends dropping in in taxis to do shots and listen to Kelly's beloved Paddy Rock all night long. The clean-up would take days, but it was all worth it for their favorite holiday of the year.

Then along came the babies. Rory and Shea are the apple of their dads' eyes, the center of their world... but not really party-friendly. Jamie and Kelly haven't had a night out in six months, though, so Jamie's mother offers to take the teething twins for St. Pat's.

Except she turns up sick on the day of, and it looks like the idea of a super-dad date isn't in the cards after all. Not unless one of them finds a way, anyhow...

This story is a fluffy short that takes place three years after Nobody's Hero. It contains explicit m/m scenes and is not suitable for those under 18.

Notes

Grá Mo Chroí owes a huge debt of gratitude to Astro, my fave illustrator, and Raven McKnight, editor supreme. But it also owes a great deal to the readers of Nobody’s Hero who have shown such enthusiasm for Jamie and Kelly, and for Kelly’s continued St. Patrick’s Day shenanigans in particular. They’ve changed a little this year, as you’ll soon see, but hopefully they’re still entertaining. This is for all of you. Thank you for your support, and Happy St. Patrick’s Day!

This story takes place three years after the end of Nobody’s Hero, the third book in the (stand-alone) Superpowered Love series. As a result there are spoilers within.

Nobody’s Hero by Katey Hawthorne

A Superpowered Love book from Loose Id

Jamie Monday lives in two different worlds. With his family, he's the golden child of awakened superpowered society. He's meant to do Great Things and pass on his powers -- with the appropriate girl, hand-picked by his mother. He's already failed at the former, so he can't bring himself to tell her that the latter isn't happening, either. With his friends, he's the social director and life of the party. He's also an out gay man with an appetite for the quick and easy lay. It's tough to have a relationship when you're hiding off-the-charts electrical powers, but Jamie doesn't mind.

Not until the prickly, paddy rocking, geeky-hot new guy at work shows him what he's been missing, anyhow. Kellan Shea's singular combination of dirty mouth and pure soul makes Jamie spark right from the beginning. To break through Kelly's defensive front and get to the gentle heart inside, Jamie will have to reconcile his split life: come to terms with his past, his family, his powers, even his nightmares.

Easier said than done, but if Jamie doesn't step up and own the truth, he could lose his love before it gets off the ground.

Three Years Later…

Grá Mo Chroí

I finally fell into bed at four a.m., narrowly avoiding Morgan, the gray-and-white fluffball who rules my side of the bed whether I’m in it or not. He mewed at me in annoyance and retreated to the foot. Kellan—that would be my husband, not another cat—apparently in that half-sleeping, half-waking stage, curled up to my back and put an arm over my middle. She finally fall asleep?

"Mmm. Happy St.
