Blurb:
Rory Donovan’s life is a hot mess. His marriage is
failing and he’s in intensive psychotherapy, working through the unfortunate
side effects of memories from a childhood trauma. The only thing good in his
life right now is his job—teaching photography to gifted high school students.
Harbor Patrol officer Bennett Foster is co-parenting
his teenage daughter with his high school best friend Jessie. When he meets
Addison’s teacher and realizes they’ve met before, he can’t get the sexy
stranger out of his head.
Striking up a sexual-tension-filled friendship,
together they must help an angsty teenager deal with a dying friend. Bennett
must keep his little family from falling apart while Rory struggles to come to
terms with his new reality. Somewhere along the way, most unexpectedly…love
happens.

Excerpt:
Dr. Conlan treated me to a rare fond
smile, almost motherly in its warmth. “I’m pleased to see you happier than you
have been.”
I grinned back, but then my brow
furrowed. “Does this make me gay?”
“Does that matter?”
“I don’t know. Should it?”
“I’ll never understand the fascination
with labeling things that our society seems to have. To me, sexuality is as
intangible as the universe. There’s no way to truly know what’s out there, and
how it all relates to everything else.
“As humans, we seek to know, to
understand, and somehow we feel that putting things in boxes and labeling helps
us do that. But some things are fluid, changing and developing with the tide of
the evolution of life. Do me a favor, Rory. Don’t put yourself in a box.”
I was dumbfounded, stunned speechless. I
knew I’d remember Dr. Conlan’s words for the rest of my life, and I would try
to stay as true to them as I could. “I won’t,” I whispered.

Guest Post
Interview with Rory Donovan from Unbreak Broken
1. What do you consider your greatest achievement?
Definitely becoming a
teacher and doing the work I do at my school. I try to have it be more than
just an 8 to 4 job… I want to get involved in the kid’s, help them succeed. If
I can, then it feels like I’ve succeeded.
2. If you could have any job or profession, what would it
be?
Well, I’m sure you
gathered from the previous answer that I love my job and there’s nothing else
I’d rather do. But if we’re talking pure fantasy here, then I think it would be
awesome to be, like, some kind of survival expert—like Bear Grylls or that Survivorman guy.
3. What is your biggest regret?
As of this moment,
probably the fact that I haven’t really talked to my family about being gay.
The parents are traveling, and I’ve been avoiding it… I’ll get to it
eventually, I just want to enjoy being with Bennett in peace for a little while
longer.
4. What is your favorite food?
I have to be really
selective about food… My Celiac disease has caused me to have to completely cut
out gluten, and I’m still learning what all I can and can’t have. I have this
great recipe which basically combines fudge with brownie and you end up with a
gluten free chocolate cake. It’s delicious!
5. Who is your hero?
Without a doubt, my
friend Rich. We had a little rift between us for a while, but once I found out
all about his past—living, sometimes in their car, with his drug addicted
mother, and then being separated from his little brother for years—I realized
why he’d been sort of messed up. The fact that he’s not more messed up, and how he helped me come to
terms with my feelings for Bennett, make him a true hero.
Meet J.K. Hogan:
J.K. Hogan
has been telling stories for as long as she can remember, beginning with
writing cast lists and storylines for her toys growing up. When she finally
decided to put pen to paper, magic happened. She is greatly inspired by all
kinds of music and often creates a “soundtrack” for her stories as she writes
them. J.K. is hoping to one day have a little something for everyone, so she’s
branched out from m/f paranormal romance and added m/m contemporary romance.
Who knows what’s next?
J.K. resides
in North Carolina, where she was born and raised. A true southern girl at
heart, she lives in the country with her husband and young son, a cat, and two
champion agility dogs. If she isn’t on the agility field, J.K. can often be
found chasing waterfalls in the mountains with her husband, or down in front at
a blues concert. In addition to writing, she enjoys training and competing in
dog sports, spending time with her large southern family, camping, boating and,
of course, reading! For more information, please visit www.jkhogan.com.
