Blurb
Bradley
Zelder can’t find his way in life. After struggling for nearly a
decade, he has yet to complete his college degree. Working as a
school custodian, living in blue-collar Landsbury, MA, his love life
is as empty as the rest of his existence. But on his way home after
another disastrous date, his truck breaks down in upscale Oceanside.
When he thinks life can’t get any worse, a man who is the epitome
of Boston elite and everything Bradley finds attractive and
intimidating helps him move his truck to the side of the road.
Ashamed of his lot in life, Bradley almost lets the opportunity slip
away, but he comes to his senses in time and tracks Caleb down.
From
a random act of kindness, romance begins to grow, filling all the
dark corners of Bradley’s empty life—until a random act of
violence threatens to take it all away. Bradley must step up and be
the man Caleb believes him to be. Caleb rescued him from a life
without hope. Can Bradley rescue him in return?

Bio
Mia
Kerick is the mother of four exceptional children—all named after
saints—and five nonpedigreed cats—all named after the next best
thing to saints, Boston Red Sox players. Her husband of twenty years
has been told by many that he has the patience of Job, but don’t
ask Mia about that, as it is a sensitive subject.
Mia
focuses her stories on the emotional growth of troubled young men and
their relationships, and she believes that sex has a place in a love
story, but not until it is firmly established as a love story. As a
teen, Mia filled spiral-bound notebooks with romantic tales of
tortured heroes (most of whom happened to strongly resemble lead
vocalists of 1980s big-hair bands) and stuffed them under her
mattress for safekeeping. She is thankful to Dreamspinner Press for
providing her with an alternate place to stash her stories.
Mia
is proud of her involvement with the Human Rights Campaign and cheers
for each and every victory made in the name of marital equality. Her
only major regret: never having taken typing or computer class in
school, destining her to a life consumed with two-fingered pecking
and constant prayer to the Gods of Technology.
