Book Synopsis

Struggling business owner George is stuck in the past. Rootless Zephyr lives only in the present. Can they find the courage to build a future together?

At thirty years old, George Harlow is at risk of becoming as fossilized as the prehistoric tourist attraction he inherited--the one that's headed the way of the dinosaurs. Even if staying afloat didn't take all his energy, the dating pool in his town is as dry as the desert surrounding it. As for the family trauma from his past? That can stay buried.

Then Zephyr Steiber blows into his life.

Zephyr lives up to his name, drifting wherever Fate takes him, sometimes renting his body in exchange for a ride. With his high heels and lace and bright personality, Zephyr brings a spark of life to George's dried-up existence.

For a while Zephyr is content to shelter in George's refuge and to be George's solace in return. Together they create an oasis. But with Zephyr haunted by the ghosts of bad decisions, and with George's home and livelihood threatened by a global pandemic, can their tentative dreams for a future together survive reality?
