Michael
Campbell can’t hold a job for more than a few days. He’s lucky his foreman is
giving him another chance with the solar panel project at a primary school in
Atlantic City. When he spies a man walking strangely in front of the school,
Michael laughs, assuming he’s drunk or high. Little does he realize that Joshua
Stone, a teaching assistant, has cerebral palsy, and he’s having a bad muscle
control day. Taking a tumble right in front of the handsome construction worker
is just his luck.
When
Michael learns the truth, he feels badly for his cruel behavior. He offers to
give Joshua—and his tricycle, the Racing Rhonda—a lift. Joshua accepts the
help, and suddenly there’s a gorgeous man breezing into his life, turning his
world upside down. But Michael has more issues than his inability to hold down
a job, and neither man is sure if they’ll be able to overcome their fears in
order to be together.

Excerpt:
Henderson bulldozed right into Michael’s personal
space, surprising him with the action. “You stupid son of a bitch!”
“Hey! No calling my mother names, okay?” Michael tried
to joke. He’d never seen Henderson this angry. Neither did he care to have all
this anger directed at him. Sure, he could hold his own if necessary, but he
was more a run-away-if-there’s-trouble kind of guy.
“Do you know who that was?”
“A drunk who shouldn’t set foot on school property?”
Michael hazarded.
Henderson’s eyes narrowed to small slits when he
replied, “His name is Joshua Stone, and he isn’t drunk. He’s a teaching
assistant who works here.”
“He looked drunk to me.”
Henderson closed his eyes, obviously trying to rein in
his temper, before he put a bit more distance between them. “Mr. Stone is
disabled, hence the way he walks. It’s not always that obvious, but he was
carrying books, a lot of books, which threw off his balance. He’s a very good
teaching assistant. He doesn’t deserve to be laughed at by someone like you,
who can’t even take care of himself.”
That stung.
