COVER AND BLURB:
Benedict Keeler was one of America’s
most popular models. Hot body, hot career, and super-hot boyfriend, until a
devastating house fire destroyed his face and his dreams. After being told all
his life that a pretty face is the measure of his worth, he can’t face another
rejection and runs from his lover, eventually hiding out on Rainbow Key.
Zachary Quinn, a highly sought after
photographer—even if he would rather shoot the homeless in Manhattan than a
fashion spread—is now facing the real possibility that a genetic disease will
render him blind and his days behind a camera may be over.
Two devastated men, one haunted by his
past and one convinced he has no future. Will they both hide from the world, or
will they give love, and each other, a second chance?
VICTORIA SUE IS ONE OF MY FAVES, AND I CAN'T WAIT TO READ THIS BOOK! ISN'T THE COVER AMAZING? JAY AHEER HAS DONE IT AGAIN FOR SURE, EVERY COVER SHE DESIGNS IS WONDERFUL! NOW FOR AN EXCERPT:
Ben
focused on Zach. His eyes were open, and he turned, but Ben could see right
away that neither of them was focused on him. The left one was still blue but
looked cloudy, like the blue and the white had bled together. The right still
looked the same, but they were both red and swollen underneath.
“I’m
here.” He stood and took a step to the bed, catching Zach’s hand as he raised
it. “What do you need? A drink? Do you need your sunglasses—”
“You.” The
cracked, broken answer seemed to split something in Ben, and he sank onto the
bed as Zach reached for him, sitting up and wrapping his arms around him. “I
can’t believe you’re here. Do you know how long I tried to find you?” Ben felt
Zach stiffen as his own words sank in.
“What
happened? I mean, I know about the fire, but—”
Ben shook
his head then realized Zach couldn’t see him. Where did he start? “I—”
“You
didn’t trust me,” Zach said flatly, answering his own question and let his arms
fall.
“I—”
“You
thought because your skin was damaged, I was shallow enough to have that matter
to me.”
Yes. Ben closed his burning eyes. He
did, and he couldn’t explain it. He certainly couldn’t justify it. Zach was
right to feel the bitterness that was now loud in his voice.
“All the
papers accused me of it, especially that fucking reporter that was so obsessed,
but I thought you would have known better. You should have known better.”
Ben
lurched to his feet. The recriminations that screamed through the wretched
whispered words was deafening. How could Zach possibly love him? How could
someone else love Ben when Ben didn’t love himself?
“How long
have you been here?” the flat wooden voice sounded so wrong coming from Zach’s
throat. Zach’s words were always full and warm. Even when he was angry.
“About a
year and a half.”
Zach’s
head shot up in shock. “All this time?
You’ve been here all this time?” The disbelief, the distress, and the
frustration. “I thought you had come here on vacation,” he said in complete
bewilderment.
“I couldn’t
risk—”
“Me
finding you?” Zach accused.
“Anyone
seeing me,” Ben whispered.
“A girl died. And you ran because you didn’t
think you were beautiful enough for people to take pictures of you anymore?”
Zach was
right. It sounded a hundred times worse when he said it, but the plain truth
was ugly. Far uglier than he was now.
Ben
couldn’t speak. Didn’t have anything worth choking out. Sorry, regret was a
useless emotion that helped no one. It hadn’t helped Maegan. It wouldn’t help
Zach. It had never helped him.
Ben spun
around. He needed to go. Now Zach was awake and safe, he could leave. Matt was
looking after Kai, but he needed to get him because Matt had work to do. He
opened the door, but this time, Zach didn’t ask him to stay. And that, more
than anything, told him they were done.
