Samuels had his reasons for leaving the country town where he grew up. He moved
to the city, established a home and a career, and found love. Now Ty is in his
early thirties, and as his life takes another tragic turn, he finds himself
returning to the place he first ran from.
Mac McGrath has lived in Armidale all his life. He loves his
family and his job as an electrician, running the family business. The only
thing missing in his life is a relationship. When Ty, his teenage crush,
arrives back in town, maybe he has found someone to love at last.
What starts as friends with benefits quickly turns to more
for Mac, but Ty will need to let go of his memories if he is to learn to love
again. But can Mac wait that long?

EXCERPT
“Hey.” Ty looked up from his desk and removed his glasses.
“All finished?”
Ty reached for the sheet of paper, his fingers grazing
Mac’s. It took every ounce of resolve Mac possessed for him not to flinch at
the contact. He wasn’t going to let Ty see the effect one simple touch had on
him.
“That was quick.” Surprise flashed in Ty’s brown eyes.
“Uh-huh. I took care of it at lunch. I called Dave and he’s
given some indicative figures. Of course, it’ll need to be verified with actual
measurements and final quotes from suppliers.”
“That’s okay. We agreed back of the envelope would be fine.
This is more than I expected, especially in such a short time frame.” Ty put
his glasses back on and studied the paper for a moment. He stuck his pen in the
corner of his mouth and chewed gently on the end.
Mac was mesmerised by the sight of those soft lips and the
movements they were making. Fuck! Why did he have to be so attracted to the
man? Ty took the pen from his mouth and made a couple of notes in the margin of
the paper before looking up. “This looks great. If the numbers are accurate,
then it certainly seems achievable.”
Ty smiled broadly and ran his fingers through his hair,
pushing the strands back from his face. Mac followed his movements, taking in
the planes of Ty’s cheekbones, the line of his throat, watching his Adam’s
apple bob as he swallowed.
Mac blinked to refocus and reminded himself he was here for
business. “Well, if that’s all you need, I’ll be off then.” He tucked the
notebook under his arm and turned towards the door.
“Wait!”
He swivelled to see Ty rising from his chair. The chair hit
the wall with a thud and Ty rounded the desk. He stood in front of Mac within
four paces, looking up at him with those big brown eyes.
“I…ah…” Ty’s gaze flicked to the door and back to Mac.
“Don’t go. Not yet.”
“You want to talk about the job?”
Ty scraped a hand through his hair again, causing the
strands to fall across his face. Mac’s fingers itched to move, but he resisted
the temptation to tuck in the errant lock. Ty closed his eyes briefly, his
lashes fluttering against his alabaster skin.
He really is beautiful.
“I was hoping I could convince you to stay for a while,” Ty
finally said.
Mac studied him a moment, trying to understand exactly what
it was Ty wanted. Ty left him with no question when he stepped closer and
brought their bodies together. Ty slipped his slim arms up to grasp around
Mac’s shoulders, and he tilted his face up. Mac held his breath as Ty’s eyes
glazed over and his tongue darted out to lick his lower lip. Mac was rooted to
the spot, mesmerised by Ty. Heat flooded his groin and he tingled with the need
to touch this man, his man. Ty.
“I don’t have long,” Ty whispered and pressed his erection
into Mac’s thigh.
“Long?”
“Yeah,” Ty stood on tiptoe and murmured into Mac’s ear, his
hot breath sending a shiver down Mac’s spine. “Got to head out soon, but before
I go….” His words faded out as he nuzzled Mac’s neck.
Mac stiffened.
What the fuck? This is a booty call?
Mac’s head wanted him to shove Ty away, but as his hands
came up and grasped Ty’s upper arms, he found himself pulling instead of
pushing. Ty’s breath hitched and he trembled. “This what you want?”
Mac brought his mouth down on Ty’s, the kiss hot and wet as
he forced his way into the depths of Ty’s mouth. Ty’s response was a mumbled
groan, but the way his fingers dug into Mac’s shoulders and his hips flexed up
to rub along Mac’s thigh gave him the answer without words.
They grappled with
each other, Ty shoving Mac against the wall and Mac turning the tables and
pushing Ty until he forced him to take a few steps back. The desk stopped Ty’s
movement, and Mac used the surprise to tear his mouth from Ty’s and spin him
around. A hand between the shoulder blades had Ty folded over the desk, barely
missing the computer monitor and sending a cascade of paperwork to the floor.
Ty groaned but didn’t try to stand up.
Mac grasped a handful of Ty’s hair and bent over his back.
“You want this?” He panted against Ty’s cheek. He felt Ty’s answering nod.

ABOUT
THE AUTHOR
Nic
Starr lives in Australia where she tries to squeeze as much into her busy life
as possible. Balancing the demands of a corporate career with raising a family
and writing can be challenging but she wouldn't give it up for the world.
Always a reader, the lure of
m/m romance was strong and she devoured hundreds of wonderful m/m romance books
before eventually realising she had some stories of her own that needed to be
told!
When not writing or reading,
she loves to spend time with her family-an understanding husband and two
beautiful daughters, and is often found indulging in her love of cooking and
planning her dream home in the country.
You can find Nic on Facebook,
Twitter and her blog. She'd love it if you stopped by to say hi.
