eye level. "But you don't know what'll happen. I don't know what'll happen. But I do know one thing."

He didn't elaborate right away and, after a few long seconds, Zach lost his patience. "What do you know?"

Stevie smiled. The beautiful, open, wide smile that lit up his whole face and his eyes and made Zach forget his own name.

"I know I want pictures in my wallet. And on my desk. And in my life. I want pictures and I never did before. I never cared. Well, I damn well care now. And it's worth taking a few chances for, I think."

Zach's heart thumped hard, and he didn't know what to say. He shook his head sharply and gave Stevie's shoulders a shove. Stevie frowned, face falling as he set Zach on his feet.

Zach didn't go far. He grabbed his bag and dug in it for his own wallet, hands shaking as he snapped it open and turned back to Stevie. He looked up at him and held out a small, wallet-sized picture. "Here."

Stevie took it, glancing down and when he smiled it was maybe a little shaky. "You carry pictures of yourself in your wallet?"

Zach laughed and sniffed a little, one shoulder lifting in a shrug. "You never know, right?"

Stevie nodded, reaching around to pull out his wallet and there, amid the old receipts and scraps of paper, he slid a picture of Zach into one of the sleeves. Then he looked up at him, his smile steadier now. "It's a good start."

It totes was.

About The Author

Fae Sutherland has always dreamed of being a published author, starting off her writing career at age 11 with a horrific

"Monkees" fan fiction that will, luckily for all, never see the light of day. At age 34, she has since progressed to more serious writing, though always keeping that dash of irreverence and fun.

Fae tells the stories that the muses give her, but though she is multi-published both solo and jointly, she truly does prefer writing with her co-author Marguerite Labbe best.

When she's not working hard on writing new stories to make her readers sweat or slaving over edits for completed work, she spends her time on website and graphic design, being with her closest friends and playing The Sims 2 until the wee hours of the morning.

year 1996 and nets him more than he ever bargained for—

Sophia Townsend.

Sophia Townsend needs a life makeover. When a confused stranger shows up inside Sophia's home, with no idea of where he is, or even what year it is, it doesn't take her long to figure out the man in her living room is the most interesting guy she's ever met. And the sexiest, too.

When Rhys whisks Sophia away, she isn't sure if she's been kidnapped, or if the handsome stranger is taking her on the greatest adventure of her life. When the truth catches up to them, Rhys has only one thing left to offer her—but only if she's brave enough to step into tomorrow with him.
