BRAINS AND BRAWN

Summer of Hush Book 2

by 

R.L. Merrill

Billy “Brains” Brennan has achieved rock stardom in not just one, but two chart-topping bands, but events from his past have him convinced he’s living on borrowed time. Brains and his brothers-in-Hush are ready to take the last cross-country Warped Tour by storm…until the actions of two drunk dudes with bad attitudes set off a chain of events that leave him incapacitated…and face-to-face with a handsome stranger that inexplicably feels like home—and not the home he fled at sixteen. 

Chief Petty Officer Paul McNally has spent his 24-year career as a Navy Corpsman responding to emergencies and caring for wounded soldiers. When fate has him in the right place to provide aid to a fallen rockstar, it sends his life spiraling on a trajectory he never planned for. Instead of concentrating on his impending retirement and a second career, he’s now playing nursemaid to a fascinating younger man and falling in love—a fact he can’t seem to figure out how to explain to his adult son. 

A health scare, band drama, and pain from their pasts threatens to end their fledgling relationship. Fate brought them together. It will take trust, honesty, and hope to keep them together.
