Sequel to Round and
Round
Opposites attract on an overseas holiday, but trouble has
hitched a ride.
While Bronco’s nightclub is closed for renovations, the
owners invite the staff on a trip to Italy. Bartender Hank needs a roommate,
and he’s had his eye on waiter Grant for a while, even if he’s had to keep his
distance. But sharing such close proximity means sparks are sure to fly….
Grant has a problem saying no, and it’s led him into some less-than-healthy
relationships. While he’s determined not to repeat his mistakes, it’s clear
Hank is different.
They’re both willing to take it slow and explore the
feelings building between them, but even in a foreign country, their pasts are
catching up, and that could hurt more than just their budding romance.

Hank couldn’t believe he had actually agreed to have Grant
as a roommate for this trip. Not that he didn’t like the guy. In fact, that was
sort of the problem. His first instinct had been to say no and try to figure
out how to go alone. Danny would have a fit if he found out Hank was going to
be rooming with Grant. Still, how in the hell could he say no? Hank knew from
Zach that Grant needed a friend. Hank sure as hell knew what that felt like,
and in the end, he’d agreed. After all, they were only going to be roommates.
And they’d be an ocean away from Danny and his jealousy. Hank would just need
to make sure Danny didn’t find out.
But it was too late to worry about that now. He’d made the
decision, and the more he thought about it, the more he realized that he
actually felt pretty good, maybe even kind of excited.
He pulled into Bull and Zach’s driveway and parked behind
Harry’s Tahoe. Zach had called together a trip-planning meeting so they could
go over everything, including the day tours that they’d already booked. Hank
was met at the door by Bull, who hugged him and ushered him inside. He seemed
to be the last to arrive, and he got hugs from everyone but Grant, who stood
off to the side, looking nervous, seemingly interested in the shoes he was
wearing.
“Hey, Grant,” Hank said gently.
Huge blue eyes met his for a second. “Hi, Hank.” His voice
was really soft, but he gave Hank a little crooked smile. “This is kind of
exciting.”
“Okay,” Zach said as he returned from the kitchen, placing
trays of small sandwiches on the coffee table. Bull followed with a tray of
drinks and set that down as well. “Help yourself to munchies,” Zach said as he
passed out a spreadsheet printout. “I went ahead and put together a schedule
for the things we’ve already taken care of. But one thing we still need to look
at is getting train tickets to Newark. The flight leaves late, so we should be
able to take the same-day train from Harrisburg.”
Hank sat down, and Grant took the seat on the sofa next to
him. The kid was wound as tight as a drum. If he’s like this the entire trip,
it’s going to be one hell of a good time, Hank thought, sarcasm rolling through
his head. Grant reached for a can of Diet Coke and sipped from it. Hank grabbed
a beer, because right now, he needed one.
“We fly directly to Rome, and we’re booked into a hotel on
the outskirts. There’s a subway station not too far away, and we can get into
the city that way. We have nothing planned for our first day. It’ll give us
time to just rest up for what’s ahead. On Wednesday we have a guided tour of
some ancient Roman ruins and the Colosseum in the afternoon, so we can sleep in
if jet lag is a problem. On Thursday we have a private group tour of the
Vatican Museums and St. Peter’s in the morning, and then I thought we could
walk to the Trevi Fountain and Pantheon after lunch.”
“This looks really great,” Hank interrupted. “What’s with
Saturday?”
“There’s no need to go over everything that’s already on the
sheet,” Bull told Hank gently. “Saturday is Zach’s event. There’s an anime
conference, and Zach is signing autographs and meeting fans. He and I will be
there most of the day. And we thought that everyone should have some time to do
what they wanted.” He squeezed Zach’s hand.
“On Sunday we have a train to Florence, where we’ll spend
three full days,” Zach continued. “I put together a schedule based on when
things are open. You can look at that. I didn’t know if everyone wanted to go
together or on their own. It’s up to you. But I did make reservations for us to
climb the cathedral dome on Thursday morning before we leave.”
