Baxter Rawlins: a real heartbreaker.
He broke my heart ten years ago.
Back in high school, Baxter pretended he didn't know me. I was a skinny, plaid-shirt-wearing nobody. I was openly gay, but nobody even cared — except Baxter, when he wanted a hookup.
That was all a nerd like me could expect from the star quarterback and prom king. He treated me as his shameful secret.
I'm older now. Wiser. I know I deserve better. But I can't stop wishing for another fleeting moment in Baxter's embrace. Andy Silver: my one weakness.
Every time Andy smiled at me from under his floppy hair, I couldn't help myself. How could a nerd in wire-rimmed glasses be so hot?
It was a high school fling. I spent ten years running away from it. I couldn't live the life I wanted, even if I loved Andy more than he ever knew.
Bumping into Andy ten years later was the shock of my life. That shy nerd is a celebrity now? And he works out?
I shouldn't dwell on how much I miss being with him, even if every sight of him sends me there.
I came back to Honey Bay for business. I might stay for a second chance at love. Remember Him is a 42,000-word second-chance gay romance. On their way to a feel-good happy ever after, a jock and a nerd dodge windmill blades, fog up the windows, and discuss the fine points of timber, lumber, and plain old wood.
