Mark Landing has a very difficult job to carry out within the next week. As the leader of Plimpton’s Neighborhood Hero Award Committee (NHAC), Mark must obtain a vote from ten NHAC members to determine which of three candidates will land the monetary award.<br><br>While interviewing each candidate, Mark finds one of them, bar owner and part-time roofer Cane Mercer, steamy-attractive. Not only is Cane handsome and easy to talk to, he’s a hero. He rescued three children from an accidental house fire a few months earlier. Hero or not, Cane flirts openly with Mark.<br><br>There’s one little problem, though. Anyone who knows Mark knows he’s Mr. Clueless when it comes to picking up men, dating, and falling in love. Will he end up with the hot and steamy roofer/bar owner, or will he forever be single and Mr. Clueless?

Mr. Clueless

“Let’s just say I’ve dabbled in drugs, alcohol, and hustling. During that rough time, I lived on the streets. It was tough. Probably one of the hardest things I’ve done in my life. This is the reason why I work for Golden Light today. I try to help change lives on the streets through my own personal, past experiences. I work with a lot of younger people and help steer them into programs, finding housing.”


“Sounds like you do more than just find housing for them.”


He nodded. “This is true. Some of the younger men on the streets look up to me. Most of them are gay and kicked out of their families. I tend to help them the most. Some of them have gotten off the drugs and stopped hustling. Of course, I can’t save them all, but I try.”


He shook his head. “Not in the slightest. I’m just trying to be the best man I can be while on this planet. If I can’t help find people homes and help them out on this adventure, then who am I? No one, I think.”
