Remember Him

<p><em><strong>Baxter Rawlins: a real heartbreaker.</strong></em><br>He broke my heart ten years ago.<br>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.<br>That was all a nerd like me could expect from the star quarterback and prom king. He treated me as his shameful secret.<br>I'm older now. Wiser. I know I deserve better. But I can't stop wishing for another fleeting moment in Baxter's embrace.</p><p> </p><p><em><strong>Andy Silver: my one weakness.</strong></em><br>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?<br>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.<br>Bumping into Andy ten years later was the shock of my life. That shy nerd is a celebrity now? And he works out?<br>I shouldn't dwell on how much I miss being with him even if every sight of him sends me there.<br>I came back to Honey Bay for business. I might stay for a second chance at love.</p><p> </p><p><strong>Remember Him</strong> is a 42000-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.</p>
