Pulling Focus by HJ Welch

A Model Love Novel; released October 7th

From this side of the lens, everything’s fake. Especially the love.

MALYK

Listen, sweetie. I don’t need anyone to protect me. But money is a problem right now and I desperately need this big break. So when my awful ex-boyfriend tries to take it all away from me, I’ll do anything. Even pretend to be dating Mr. Hot Shot Photographer if it’ll still get me through the door. I mean, he’s offered to whisk me away to New York, and he’s seriously gorgeous, so where’s the problem? I can be professional. No one’s going to catch feels.

OSCAR

I don’t date models, especially not ones almost half my age. But beneath all of Malyk’s bravado, I can see a sweet man who’s hurting. It won’t harm to pretend to be his boyfriend and spoil him during this ridiculous retreat to keep him safe, right? But there’s something irresistible about him that’s drawing me in, and suddenly a week doesn’t seem long enough before he has to fly back to London. We’re from different countries, different generations, different worlds entirely. It could never work. But when Malyk’s ex threatens to cost him everything, I can’t just stand back and let that happen, either.

Pulling Focus is a 60K word contemporary MM novel featuring an adventure across the Atlantic, a room with only one bed, bucket loads of explosive UST, a fabulous masquerade ball, and a long-suffering pooch who knows what his master needs better than he does. It’s part of the Model Love multi-author series. Each book can be read as a standalone, in any order, but there are so many models falling in love, why not read them all?

Teaser from Pulling Focus

The dangerous thing about walking around a cute park with my dog and a seriously hot guy then going to dinner is that it feels extremely coupley. We said we were going to practice PDA, so we even hold hands, and I notice several appreciative looks and smiles that are sent our way.

This isn’t real, though. It’s not a date. It’s just a necessity for keeping my new friend awake. And fed. For someone so skinny he eats a lot. So I’m just being responsible.

That’s what I also tell myself as I get him home a couple of hours later and practically have to carry him into his bed. He’s dead on his feet and mumbling sweetly—not to me, of course. But to my damned dog. I have to laugh at how easily they’ve bonded.

“I’ll leave the door ajar,” I promise him after he’s brushed his teeth. “If you need anything, just call out. I’ll hear.”

He blinks sleepily at me, then smiles. “I will. Thank you, Oscar.”

I hesitate just a bit too long, wanting to ask if he needs anything else. Then I remind myself that he’s an adult and is more than capable of taking care of himself.

I put a load of laundry on and repack some of my case for the week ahead. I always knew it would be a little tight doing two trips back-to-back, but nothing I can’t handle.

What I really can’t handle is knowing that Malyk is just across the hall. I try not to think about how much I want to curl up behind him and fall asleep with him in my arms. It’s crazy. I’d have never called myself protective before, but now it’s like I think I’m all that’s going to stand between him and a world that wants to hurt him.
