Homebird eBook

Crispin Henry isn't an adventurer. He learned early on that the world is a frightening place and that home is rare and precious. If his friends didn't drag him to sports games and ill-advised trips to Vegas, he wouldn't get out at all—and his trip to Munich for Oktoberfest is no exception. But it's there that he meets Luka Gabriel, and he learns to take a chance. Luka is a free-spirited world traveler, working at Oktoberfest to feed his enchantment with new places and new people. His only possessions fit in his backpack, and he depends on the kindness of strangers for a place to sleep. Crispin should know better—but he takes Luka's hand anyway, and together they turn three nights in Munich into the relationship neither of them has been brave enough to risk—and neither can let go of. When Luka turns up on Crispin's doorstep before the holiday season, Crispin takes him in on hope alone. Yes, he knows the odds are good Luka will flutter out of his life again and leave him bereft, but isn't it worth it to see if Luka is a homebird after all?
