Does trauma define or motivate a person?
Homeless and rejected, Henry Sullivan arrived on the doorstep of Ryan’s Place with nothing but the clothes on his back. Life as he knew it was over. Within those walls, Henry found the encouragement and love needed to turn hopeless into hopeful. Enrolling for summer classes at his community college was the first step toward achieving the dreams he thought were lost to him. There was just one little snag: the professor standing in the front of the room taught Henry the true meaning of human sexuality.
After a crushing breakup, Professor Ezra Meyer moved to the Queen City for a fresh start where everything was new—job, home, and friends. His first challenge: prove the benefits of his biology of human sexuality course outweighed the controversy. Ezra agreed to teach the class during the summer semester at a community college associated with his university to gauge interest. There was just one little problem: Ezra had personally demonstrated the unit on Sexual Technique and Behaviors with one of his students.
Random or Fate?
It was supposed to be a harmless hookup on a night when Henry was celebrating his birthday and Ezra was trying to ease his loneliness. Fast forward six months later, the attraction blazed hotter than ever, but acting on it could have dire consequences neither man was willing to risk. Or were they? Could true love be Henry and Ezra’s ultimate reward, or were they destined to become just another sad lesson learned?
Beautiful Trauma is a story about triumph over tragedy, embracing the unexpected, and a reminder that family is more than biology. Are you looking for a feel-good romance with witty banter, toe-curling passion, and a story that stays with you long after the final page? Look no further. Beautiful Trauma is the third book in the Queen City Rogues series but reads as a standalone book. It contains sexually explicit material and colorful language and is intended for adults 18 and over.
“Why me?” Henry wasn’t fishing for compliments; he honestly couldn’t understand his appeal to me. “Never mind,” he said suddenly. “Let’s not ruin a beautiful—”
I silenced him with a kiss while gathering my thoughts so I could convey them in a way that didn’t paint me as some pervert or describe him as some weakling that needed me to take care of him. Henry wasn’t weak, and there wasn’t anything perverted about our relationship. When I finally pulled back, he was once again relaxed in my arms.
“Besides your physical beauty, there’s something about you that calls to me. You have this… innocent quality about you, but then I look into your eyes and see a man much wiser than his years . You find joy in the simplest things and take nothing for granted because you know how fragile and tenuous life is. I know that people have let you down.” Henry nodded. “I want to know more about that when you’re ready.” I smoothed my thumbs over his cheeks and loved the way he leaned into my touch. “You call to the parts of me that want to nurture and protect, and those feelings go much deeper for me than sexual desire alone. You’ve picked up on that already.”
“So, I’m kind of a sexy stray kitten to you?” Henry asked bemused.

She wears many titles—wife, mom, and animal lover are just a few of them. Her absolute favorite title is champion of the happily ever after. Love inspires everything she does, music keeps her sane, and coffee is the magic elixir that fuels her day. I’d love to hear from you
i love both but I find it hard to wait for the next book in a series to come out….
I love series because I usually don’t want a story to end.
I like both. I have read some series that kept my interest through out the whole series, but i have read some that I have lost interest in after the second book.
I like both, sometimes I love a good stand alone and then I move on and sometimes it’s great to get caught up in a series!
Sounds awesome, both series are good
