"Joe Taylor is terrified of being touched. It's made him a recluse, but he doesn't mind being shut in his apartment, churning out novels for his pretty editor.

Then Kisten Jones walks into his life, a perfect Prince Charming who won't let up on his attempts to get Joe to come out of his shell.

No matter how hard he tries, there's something about that kid Joe just can't resist... but no road traveled was ever easy, and they'll face more than their share of problems before they can get their Happily Ever After."

That was when he started to head back. Since it was Tuesday, that meant it was about half an hour before Kisten knocked on my door.


"Stop it, Joe," I muttered to myself. I was starting to get far too excited about him coming over."He's just another filthy monster with dirty hands. Don't get excited. Don't feel anything for him. He'll break your heart, Joe, you know that."
