Saxton?”
“Definitely ten,” Carson said. He rubbed his nose against the prickly stubble on Tom’s jaw. “And a ten for being satisfied with my experience, and an eleven for will call again. I’m glad you want to spend the night again. I want you to, too.”
Carson was still pressed against Tom’s cheek, and he could feel him smile. “Then this might be the part where I admit that the Talk Turkey hotline doesn’t have a customer satisfaction survey. I just wanted to know if you liked me.”
Carson chuckled and pressed himself against the long line of Tom’s back. “No question there.”
He gave Tom one last quick kiss on the cheek and then started ferrying the leftovers Tom had wrapped up so carefully over to the refrigerator. He’d never had this much food in it before, but the thought of eating leftovers for days—or probably more like weeks—wasn’t as depressing as it had been just a day ago. Having someone to share them with made it a whole different experience.
Tom caught his eye as he was wrapping up the turkey, his own lips quirking in response to Carson’s goofy smile. “I’m glad you’re such a bad cook that you had to call the hotline,” Tom said, his tone teasing.
Carson laughed. “Me too.”

B RU B AKER got her first taste of life as a writer at the tender age of four, when she started publishing a weekly newspaper for her family. What they called nosiness she called a nose for news, and no one was surprised when she ended up with degrees in journalism and political science and started a career in journalism.
Bru spent more than a decade writing for newspapers before making the jump to fiction. She now works in reference and readers’ advisory in a Midwestern library, though she still finds it hard to believe someone’s willing to pay her to talk about books all day. Most evenings you can find her curled up with a mug of tea, some fuzzy socks, and a book or her laptop. Whether it’s creating her own characters or getting caught up in someone else’s, there’s no denying that Bru is happiest when she’s engrossed in a story. She and her husband have two children, which means a lot of her books get written from the sidelines of various sports practices.

Island House
Dropping Anchor: Book One
By Bru Baker
Unable to move on after the death of his lover, British expat Niall Ahern clings to Nolan’s dream of living in the Caribbean by moving to Tortola. Once there, he finds that not even the beauty of the island can fill the hole in his heart. Broke and spent in nearly every way imaginable, Niall wants out of the lonely, miserable, guilt-ridden life he’s carved out for himself.
When Ethan Bettencourt, a wealthy tech guru, shows up in British Virgin Islands looking to purchase a second home, he gives Niall hope that he can move on. Both men fall hard and fast, but Niall finds piloting his yacht in the midst of a hurricane is nothing compared to weathering life’s simple misunderstandings. As their troubles come between them, Niall is left to wonder if he and Ethan are over before they’ve begun.
