Handsome Beast

Publisher Marketing: A modern re-telling of a favorite fairy tale - with a twist. Once upon a time ... On the day after Thanksgiving, Nic Graziano heads to remote upstate New York to carry out his foolproof suicide plan. Apparently, he needed an idiot-proof plan, because now he's soaking wet, cold, and hopelessly lost in the woods - who would have thought dying of exposure was so difficult? He finds shelter by breaking into a remote mansion, figuring he can talk his way out of a B&E charge in the morning. Then he wakes up naked - and alone - in Gavin Lovatt's sinfully comfortable bed. Instead of calling the police, Gavin offers Nic a hot meal and a change of clothes. And more, if Nic can believe the looks Gavin is giving him. Nic thinks that a few days of hot rebound sex with a good-looking man is exactly what he needs before going home and rebuilding his life. Gavin turns out to be funny, affectionate, and sexy as hell, and if Nic can just keep reminding himself this is temporary, everything will be fine. And yes, Nic has questions, lots of them - like how come a wealthy man in a huge house has no apparent household help - but he can't seem to remember to ask. On top of that, Gavin disappears every single night, only to reappear in the morning. Nic is the first guy to admit that everybody has baggage, but not everybody has creepy supernatural baggage ... and the truth may be stranger than Nic could ever imagine.
