How to Romance a Covert Crush
(2027)(The second book in the Point Beacon series)
A novel by Traci Douglass
Recently discharged Army veteran James Bryant returns to Point Beacon, Indiana to run Victory Vets—and escape his hometown hero reputation that feels like a lie. The last thing he needs is to co-chair the town's make-or-break vintage auto auction with Sam Turner, the man he kissed once after senior prom before panic sent James running halfway across the world. Now James is out, but his PTSD and survivor's guilt make him question if he deserves a second chance at happiness.
Event planner Sam Turner has one goal: create a spectacular portfolio piece and escape to Chicago. He's spent years building a career worthy of leaving Point Beacon behind, even as his mother's dementia steals her memories one by one. Working with James'''gorgeous, guarded, and still capable of making Sam's heart race—wasn't part of the plan. Neither was falling in love. But when hate crimes target Victory Vets and Sam must choose between his dream job and the life he's accidentally built, he'll have to decide: is love worth the risk of staying, or will fear send him running just like James did eleven years ago?
Genre: Gay Romance
