Something Like Hail

Sometimes it's up to us to make our own luck-and to give ourselves a second chance.Noah Westwood is tired of life on the streets, so he turns to Marcello Maltese, a man who owns a small media empire… and a few covert businesses, such as an escort service. Noah volunteers for this, but he's playing a dangerous game. A secret from his past could turn his new friends into enemies, and he isn't sure he can perform the duties he signed up for, especially when he's more interested in falling in love than hopping into the beds of his clients. This is complicated further when his hunky co-worker, Harold Franklin, seems to be interested. Or is he? Noah is off the streets, but he'll have to travel down many roads on his quest to find his happily-ever-after.Something Like Hail introduces a new character to the Something Like… series, one whose life is intertwined with previous books in unexpected ways. Jay Bell is a proud gay man and the award-winning author behind dozens of emotional and yet hopelessly optimistic stories. His best-selling book, Something Like Summer, spawned a series of heart-wrenching novels, a musically driven movie, and a lovingly drawn comic. When not crafting imaginary worlds, he occupies his free time with animals, art, action figures, and-most ardently-his husband Andreas. Jay is always dreaming up new stories about boys in love. If that sounds like your cup of tea, you can get the kettle boiling by visiting www.jaybellbooks.com. The Something Like… series is a collection of books, each written from a different character's perspective. The plots intertwine at key points while also venturing off in new directions. The series has won a number of awards, and the first book is headed to the big screen.
