About this ebook
Journalist Paul Bradley reports on an act of heroism by paramedic Drew McGregor and goes on to have him nominated for a bravery award. Drew's heroism is a great story that Paul wants to make the most of, but he has other reasons to want to see the great-looking and openly gay Drew again. Ones he doesn't dare speak about, since he's deeply closeted and terrified of being outed, fearing losing his career.
When Drew accidentally finds out Paul is gay, he's initially angry at the deception, but he's sympathetic too and his kindness encourages Paul to confess his feelings. Drew likes Paul, but won't date a closeted man, saying that leads to too many lies, too much pain. Paul will have to reevaluate all the choices he’s made for the sake of career and family, if he wants Drew to give him a chance.

Role Model
By Becky Black
For most people, a phone call at three in the morning would be something to dread.
Not for Paul Bradley.
He picked up the mobile ringing by his bed.
Get your arse up to the moor road, six miles north of Leyton,
his editor, Henderson, said. Got a tip from our tame copper.
On my way.
Paul yanked out the charging cord, grabbed a pair of jeans from the dirty laundry basket, and found a clean T-shirt. Phone. Bag. Car keys. Jacket. He left the house five minutes after waking up.
In the inky night, the lights on the moor road were visible for miles. They were powerful arc lights used by Fire and Rescue. The road ahead was blocked and taped off. Paul counted two fire engines, five police cars, and two ambulances. The air ambulance helicopter waited in a field.
He saw the focus of all the activity when he got out of his car. A truck, on its side, half on and half off the road and into the ditch. Police and fire officers swarmed it. But Paul doubted Henderson had sent him here for a mere road accident. Something else was going on.
Sorry, mate, going to be closed off for hours,
the copper at the police tape said. If you go back and take the turn—
He stopped when Paul held up his Press pass. Christ, can you lot smell the blood?
Can I get any closer?
No, you sodding can’t. Stay there.
Hey, don’t worry,
another voice came. I’ll fettle him.
Ed Muir, Henderson’s tame
copper.
Good. I want a brew.
The first officer left Ed to it.
What’s happening?
Paul asked, ducking under the police tape. Is the driver trapped?
Dead of night rescue. Driver cut from cab. Not bad.
Truck driver’s dead,
Ed said. You can’t see it from here, but there’s a car underneath that mess, in the ditch. The truck’s resting on it.
Who’s in the car?
The driver, dead, and a kid. Alive.
Much better. Kids always made a better story. Boy or girl? What age?
He had tablet and stylus poised.
"Girl, aged six. That’s not all. A paramedic crawled in to help the
