Blurb:
Sometimes the past can be the biggest mountain to
climb.Toby Schwartzel has never forgotten Jensen Brockhoff, the man he loved and the one who disappeared six years ago. He thinks he’s moved on, but when Jensen appears again and wants to explain what happened, Toby realises he hasn’t gotten over Jensen. He’d only built up walls to keep from being hurt again.
Jensen Brockhoff left New York City and Toby Schwartzel for several reasons. All of them had to do with drugs and alcohol. He’s clean now and the only thing he’s addicted to is mountain climbing. His passion for the sport has got him through the last six years. But after a particularly harrowing fall on Denali, Jensen knows he has to go back to tell Toby the truth.
Will Toby and Jensen discover they’d never moved past the love they had for each other all those years ago? Or are the mountains between them too high to climb?
Excerpt:
Stepping in the bar was almost like getting hit by a car
from the noise. Not that Toby Schwartzel had ever been struck by any kind of
moving vehicle. He didn’t think a bicycle counted. He paused in the entrance to
give himself a chance to adjust to the sound level and to scan the crowd,
searching for any of the guys from the firm.
“Hey, Toby. We’re over here,” Simpson called from one of the
back corners.
After acknowledging him with a wave, Toby wound his way to
the bar where he ordered one of his favorite microbrews. While he waited for
the bartender to pour it, he glanced around, checking out the possible
hook-ups. It was Friday night and Toby didn’t have to work during the weekend,
so he was looking for a little fun.
“Here you go, Toby.” Gray slid his mug across the wooden
surface.
“Thanks, Gray. This is for you.” He slipped a five-dollar
bill in the tip jar before taking a sip.
“I see your friend finally dragged himself out from whatever
rock he’d been hiding under.” Gray jerked his head over toward the corner where
Toby’s gang hung out.
“What friend?” He frowned as he tried to figure out whom
Gray was talking about. All his friends were accounted for. Well, that he knew
of anyway. He’d been so busy working on closing a big deal for a client during
the last three months that he lost touch with a few of them that he didn’t see
all the time at the office.
“Brockhoff. Saw him come in with Simpson.”
Someone yelled for Gray at the other end of the bar, so he
shot Toby a quick smile before walking away.
Toby was frozen to the floor. What the fuck is Jensen
Brockhoff doing back in town? Why the fuck hasn’t he called me in six years?
The bastard couldn’t be bothered to tell me he was leaving. All I got was some
ridiculous email about needing to get clean. Now he didn’t worry about letting
me know he’s back. I should just leave.
His phone vibrated in his pocket and he pulled it out to see
he had a text from Simpson.
Get your ass back here, fuckhead.
He should’ve known Simpson wasn’t going to let him leave.
I think I’m heading home.
