    About this ebook

    Joseph "Joey" Choi has been to hell and back. A war veteran, he was in a bad place for a long time until his brother Derrick got him the help he needed. Joey figures the least he can do is learn how to do things on his own, for a change. His first step is to apply for a job at a farm.

    Barrimore "Bear" Lancett, the farm’s foreman, is larger than life and seriously hot. And God, those dimples! Both Bear and Joey a "moment," but Joey immediately pushes the wayward, intimate thoughts aside, convinced he's not relationship material, much less with his boss.

    That doesn’t stop Bear from trying, but he has to convince Joey to take a chance on them, and maybe find his new normal.

      Truck Me Back to Normal

      By J.D. Walker

      I can do this. I know I can.

      I took a deep breath and walked down the long, dusty road that led up to the farm where I’d applied for a job online. I’d taken a cab here, and I was nervous. It was early June, and after spending a month at the trailer park with my older brother, Derrick Choi, and Paul Fontana, his super-hot, older boyfriend, I was ready to face the world and make my way toward a new beginning, of sorts.

      After time spent overseas in the army, I had returned stateside messed up in the head as a result of the mind-fuck of heavy combat and casualties. Following a rough stint in a tiny apartment together, Derrick and I were able to move to our current home, thanks to the generosity of Adrian, Derrick’s boss and owner of the units where we now lived. And soon after that, Derrick was able to save up enough money to get me into a place that helped me heal. He’d done so much for me, and if nothing else, I owed it to him and myself to make something out of my life. I’d start small, though.

      Like today.

      I had an interview with the manager at the farm through which I currently sauntered. It seemed to be a huge operation, and I could see all kinds of animals and crops everywhere I gazed. The job itself wasn’t anything fancy, but that didn’t matter to me. The fact that I was making this attempt at normalcy meant I’d improved enough to deal with the world now without shying away from—or raging at—people or loud noises. Mind you, I could be startled every once in a while. But that was improving, too. I took my meds, and I rode out the bad dreams and the occasional flashback as best I could.

      They’d taught me a lot at the institute, and I now had a better understanding of myself and ways to deal with crises without going too crazy. I loved that the therapists had really listened to me and hadn’t let me get away with saying I was weak or worthless, or
