About this ebook
Bill Cascade knows what it’s like to have nothing, so it’s easy for him to recognize another human being on the brink. When Bill visits his favorite bar one night, he comes across Thorn Blackstone, a twenty-something hottie who has everyone eating out of his hand. A fight breaks out and Bill comes to the rescue. Thorn, however, doesn’t want Bill’s help and pushes him away, at first.
When Thorn finally shows up on Bill’s doorstep, he’s dirty, hostile, and starving. Bill ignores all of that and gives Thorn a chance to start over. Trouble is, Bill wants Thorn for his own, but thinks he isn’t good enough for someone with such a bright future ahead of him. Naturally, Thorn thinks that’s hogwash.
What’s a guy to do when the love of his life won’t take no for an answer? Hold on and never let go.

He’s So Heavy
By J.D. Walker
Spring is my favorite time of year, though it tended to be a bit cool in these parts until late May. Most of the other seasons I could take or leave. Winter sucked, but I didn’t mind it, not really. Most of my friends bitched and moaned about it, and my coworkers at the bookstore—Shirley in particular—spent the months until summer came around again begging for warmer weather nonstop.
Maybe the fact that I’d lived on the streets for a long time back home
tempered my attitude somewhat. I knew what bone-chilling cold was like, huddling with other people around a fire in an attempt not to freeze to death; jacket never thick enough; thin gloves gone missing; guarding the sleeping bag that fell
out of someone’s truck at a gas station with my life. I never talked about that time with anyone. Why would I?
I never knew my father. My mother died when I was eight and I went into the system, having no other relatives to take me in, willingly or not. When I aged out, I quickly discovered how hard it was to survive in the real world on my own, a hard lesson well-learned.
I was twenty-three by the time I made it to this town, doing odd jobs and things I’d rather forget as I made my way across country. The first time I’d seen the ocean, I thought that I’d do anything to stay here. It was peaceful and…clean, something hard for me to be while living on the unforgiving streets.
The people here hadn’t cared about my background or torn, faded clothing—something that had surprised me. In fact, the first person I’d met was Austin Murray, who owned the bookstore where I now worked. He had seen me sitting outside the diner the morning I arrived, dirty, tired, and starving. He’d fed me, found me a place to stay, and helped me get back on my feet, no questions asked. It was a kindness I strove every day to repay, in one way or another.
I had always loved to read, which made working in a bookstore perfect for me. I wasn’t interested in being a manager. I was more than happy to stock shelves and double-check inventory and take advantage of the generous employee discount.
One of the things I had hated about being on the streets—and there were many—was the lack of access to reading material. I couldn’t buy books often, and when I bought them secondhand or got them for
