London (International Guy Book 7)

Home.
A foreign phrase ever since my parents died. My penthouse in New York City is comfortable and the inside is definitely me, but it’s not a home. It’s a place I stay when I’m not filming. Being with Parker, his friends, his family, Boston . . . that all feels like a real home.
Parker smiles, and it shoots right through my chest and burrows deep in my heart, warming me there. I take his hand on top of the table and interlace our fingers, our bracelets looking wicked cool under the soft lighting in the restaurant. Sitting here, holding my man’s hand, planning to go back to Boston and have a family dinner, do a charity auction for his mother’s job, it all seems so right, so . . . normal.
I lift up my glass of burgundy, and Parker follows.
“What should we drink to?” he asks.
“Going home.”
He clinks his glass with mine and sips, his gaze on nothing but me. “To going home.”
The end . . . for now.
If you want to read more about the guys—Parker, Bo, and Royce—from International Guy, get your copy of Berlin: International Guy Book 8.
In the eighth installment, a German carmaker hires International Guy to rework their new car-marketing campaigns to something more universally stimulating. All three guys are brought into the job to contribute their unique skills to the problem. Parker also reaches out to Michael Pritchard to aid the team, not realizing he’s asking the man to split himself wide open and potentially risk all that he has with Wendy.
On top of the job, someone from Parker’s past makes an appearance and drops a bomb he isn’t expecting, forcing Bo and Royce to wade into the issue, proving that the brotherhood is stronger than ever and unbreakable.
