Chased by Love (Love in Bloom: The Ryders): Trish Ryder (27 page)

**AUTHOR’S NOTE: If you have never read a M/M book, I hope you will give this one a try. Tempting Tristan is one of my favorite romance novels, written with the full range and depth of emotions as all of my M/F books.

Fresh off the heels of yet another bad relationship, Tristan Brewer is taking a break from men to try and figure out where he keeps going wrong. He knows his biggest fault—he leads with his heart, not his head—and that’s never going to change. But after several introspective weeks, he’s beginning to get a handle on things. That is, until badass heartthrob Alex Wells walks into his bar…

 

Alex has spent eight years in the Army, months in a hospital bed, and far too long hiding his sexual identity. He’s guilt-ridden, damaged, pissed off, and up for a Silver Star—for the incident that nearly cost him his life, and kept him from his grandmother’s funeral. But all he wants to do is forget his stint with the institution that
allows
but doesn’t necessarily
accept
, and live the life he’s always dreamed of.

 

The chemistry between Tristan and Alex ignites from the moment they meet, and the more time they spend together the hotter the flames become. But the closer Tristan gets, the more Alex’s walls go up, and when the two walk onto a military base, Tristan finds out Alex’s physical scars aren’t the ones that run the deepest.

Acknowledgments

 

I had a blast writing about Trish and Boone and learning all about Hurricane, West Virginia, although I have taken fictional liberties with the town, the people, Main Street Music, and Greenhouse of Teays Valley restaurant. Heaps of gratitude goes to Eric Reckard, the owner of Greenhouse of Teays Valley, and his brother, Joe, the executive chef, for allowing me to bring them into our fictional world.

Several characters in Chased by Love are from other series in the Love in Bloom big-family romance collection. You’ll read about Drake Savage, Carey, and a few of the others in my upcoming Bayside Summers series (releasing 2017). The Ryders were introduced in The Remington series (FLAMES OF LOVE, Cash Ryder and Siena Remington, and READ, WRITE, LOVE, where you meet Blue Ryder), and you learn more about them in the Seaside Summers series. Find out more about The Remingtons and Seaside Summers on my website.
