If Only In Our Dreams

Sometimes a meet-cute, a long nap, and a sexy-ass bicep is just what the doctor ordered.

Ben Montgomery - I'm not sure if I've ever believed in love at first sight. In my forty-five years on this earth, the only sort of love I've known is the unconditional, soul-healing kind I have for my twin daughters. But when I meet a sweet, flirtatious man dressed in all black with circles under his eyes even darker than his eyeliner-I'm immediately captivated. Robin Johnson makes me smile more than anyone I've ever met. He's emo-goth and a walking ball of sunshine. He's giggles and quips and yet deep beneath the surface, he hides an overwhelming sadness. And though I know he's only in town for a short time, there isn't much I wouldn't do to make Robin's life just a little bit more merry. Even if it means admitting that love at first sight isn't a fairy tale, after all.

Robin "Trashmouth" Johnson - Years of constant touring, with sleepless nights on the road and in countless hotels has taken its toll on both my body and my mental state. It's a lifestyle that's left me exhausted and wrecked, but also afraid to slow down, afraid to stop running. The truth is, I've always been running-from my past, from my family, from myself. But visiting my brother, Miles, and his new husband this holiday season in their quiet Vermont town feels like just the break I need to figure out my next step in life. And after a chance encounter with a sexy stranger, who turns out to be more than I ever could have wished for, I wonder if maybe a rolling stone could learn to grow roots.
