Book Description:
The minute Ryan Forrester read Tobias Gale’s diary he found in the home he was renovating, he fell in love. The man Tobias described as his perfect soul mate is Ryan. When a family emergency brings Tobias home, Ryan tries to console him and help him through this trying time.
Tobias Gale’s world is turned upside-down when he gets a call from Ryan Forester telling him his mom had a stroke. He rushes home to find out that not only has she been keeping Ryan Forrester, the sexy handyman who lives with her a secret, but also something far more detrimental. Tobias’s whole life has been built on lies and he doesn’t know who to turn to for help. Luckily, Ryan is by his side offering him his ear and his heart to help him get through it all.
There are more secrets to uncover when Ryan’s wolf shifter past comes back to haunt him. After Ryan gets an ominous phone call from his brother, he knows danger is nearby. He has to solve the mysterious message while keeping everyone he loves safe from the man and organization that have been stalking him for years.
Excerpt:
Tobias’s boss’s
voicemail came on. He sighed in relief at having been spared the torture of
talking to her directly. “Yeah, ah, Martha. It’s Tobias. I didn’t get a chance
to call you before now, but I won’t be able to come in tomorrow or for the rest
of the week. There’s been a family emerg–”
Before he could
continue, Martha replied, “Tobias?”
He frowned. “Hi,
Martha. I was just leaving you a message.”
“Yes, I realized
that. So did I hear correctly, you won’t be coming in this week because of a
family emergency?”
“Yeah, my mom
had a stroke earlier today. I took a plane home as soon as I heard.”
“I’m so sorry to
hear that. I hope she’ll be better soon.”
“Thanks.” He was
astounded at how sympathetic Martha seemed.
“About my work
and the edits on John’s book.”
“Don’t worry
about that. Work and the edits can wait until your mom gets better and you come
back to New York.”
Tobias grinned
with deep relief. “Okay, that’ll be great. Thanks so much for understanding.”
“You’re welcome.
We’ve all got a mother we love and who we want to help as much as we can. After
all, they’ve done so much for us. It’s only right we return the favour.” Her
tone turned assertive. “Concentrate on your mom and work will wait until you
get back here. In the meantime, let me know how she’s doing soon.”
“I will. Thanks
again, Martha.”
“No problem,
Tobias. Bye.”
