BLURB
Once upon a time a brave knight rescued a young man. Unfortunately, he then spent the next few years bossing the young man around and treating him like a child.
Milo has been burying himself at Chi an Mor, hiding from the wreckage of his once promising career and running from a bad relationship that destroyed what little confidence he had. Niall, his big brother’s best friend, has been there for him that entire time. An arrogant and funny man, Niall couldn’t be any more different from the shy and occasionally stuttering Milo, which has never stopped Milo from crushing wildly on the man who saved him.
However, just as Milo makes the decision to move on from his hopeless crush, he and Niall are thrown into close contact, and for the first time ever Niall seems to be returning his interest. But it can never work. How can it when Milo always needs rescuing?
From the bestselling author of the Mixed Messages series comes a story about a man who needs to write his own happily ever after.
This is the second book in the Finding Home series, but it can be read as a standalone.
Content warning: There are descriptions of domestic abuse in this book.

EXCERPT
“Bloody hell, is that a
relation of my husband or a suspect in the Jack the Ripper case?”
I laugh and Cora startles
slightly. I shush her and kiss the tiny fingers she holds up to my face. Moving
next to him, I stare down at the picture. “He is a bit grim, isn’t he?”
“Grim? Caligula was grim.
This is a new and previously undiscovered level of malevolence.” He cocks his
head to one side. “Is it my imagination or do his eyes follow you when you
move?”
I shake my head. “My remit
isn’t to judge. Instead, I reveal what has been previously hidden.”
“While I’m sure that sounds
romantic in your head, let’s be realistic. You’ve actually just wiped dirt off
a grumpy old git’s face.”
I laugh. “I’m so glad my
time at art college wasn’t wasted.”
He looks searchingly at me
and opens his mouth but then closes it again. I stare at him. “Oh my God, what
were you going to say? It must be bad if it’s made Oz Gallagher shut up.”
He laughs, and I look
affectionately at him. I know he’s going to tell me the truth. Oz doesn’t ever
shy away from that. He’s my best friend in the world and it comes as a shock
to realise that I’ve only known him for a couple of years. He came
here to Chi an Mor in all his wisecracking, sassy
glory and proceeded to turn everyone’s lives upside down. Footloose and
fancy-free, he only intended to stay for a few months and ease the old house
into opening to the general public. The best-laid plans always go
wrong – or right – and now he’s settled with his husband Silas, the current
earl, and they have a beautiful seven-month-old daughter.
He clears his throat and
looks at me, and I straighten from kissing Cora’s forehead. “What?”
“I just think that you’re
actually a bit wasted here, Milo.”
“Why?”
“Because you’re so bloody
talented. People from all over the country are starting to come here to consult
with you, and rather than enjoying it you’re stuck in a small, cold room
wearing ugly gloves and hunched over a hideous painting. It’s like something
from a Dickens novel.”
He pauses for breath and I
try to relax my instinctive defensive shield. I don’t need it with him.
He rubs my arm
affectionately. “You’re so clever and talented and no one sees it here apart
from us, and you need more than that. You should be living it up and going to
exotic parties. Mixing with artists and the bohemian crowd.”
I swallow hard at the
thought of the people that used to surround Thomas. “I don’t think I’m cut out
for a bohemian crowd. They sound quite noisy and tiring,” I manage to say.
“Well, maybe look for a
sub-branch. The whispering bohemians or something.”
