The Road Home: A Carnie Runaway Romance

No money. No car. No plan. Just one blistering highway, a suitcase full of secrets, and a stranger in a black Audi who should be a lot harder to say yes to.

Ryan

I’m thirty, I’ve got a laptop on the passenger seat and a carnival crew waiting on me in Arkansas. I don’t pick up strays. But there’s a kid stranded in the middle of nowhere with sweat on his skin and a suitcase that says running, and I pull over anyway. I hand him cold water. I hand him jerky. Then I hand him a job. Damn if I don’t want to hand him a whole hell of a lot more.

Brett

I’m nineteen, flat broke, and I just caught a ride from the best-looking man I’ve ever laid eyes on — ten years older, wicked grin, a mouthful of innuendo, and an age gap I have no business ignoring. Now he’s offering me work at a traveling carnival: cash every night, no questions asked, and a bunk somewhere in the middle of nowhere. It’s the worst idea available. It’s also the only escape I’ve got — and I’ve got six months before the rest of my life begins. I can’t afford to fall for him. I’m going to anyway.

A steamy M/M road-trip romance about a boy running from his future and the man who gives him a reason to stop. Can Brett outlast his own deadline before everything he left behind catches up with him — or will the one man who picked him up be the reason he finally stays?
