Synopsis
Two men who meet in a psychiatric institution couldn’t possibly find happiness together—could they?
The world seemed to be telling disgraced former child star and singer Cameron Fox that he would never be happy again. A drunken car accident gets him sentenced to a work-release at Riverbend Behavioral Health Facility.
Reclusive, traumatized writer Jonah Radley has an entire graveyard of skeletons in his closet. Jonah regularly hospitalizes himself for psychotic episodes caused by a horrific childhood trauma, his biggest secret—one he refuses to speak about in therapy.
Jonah and Cameron form a bond inside the hospital, forged in mutual pain and hope for a better life. Once they leave the hospital, they must decide if they are brave enough to explore the intricacies of living with mental illness—and find a new normal together.
A collection of weird random interview questions I’ve gotten:
1. Can you cartwheel?
Heck yeah I can. And a round-off too! Although with bad knees and after having given birth twice, I’m not so sure I’d try.
2. What’s your birthday?
My birthday is the day each year when I get a little younger. Right? J/k! It’s February 5th. We’re a family of winter babies. My hubby’s is also in February and my two sons share January 8th—crazy, right? We’re broke by March.
3. Do you like puzzles?
It depends on what kind. The kind with actual puzzle pieces? No, because I don’t have that kind of patience. Puzzles like crosswords or word searches? Oh yeah.
4. How many pairs of shoes do you own?
Honestly I have no idea. More than I should, but less than a lot of women, I guess. I love how shoes look but I don’t really like wearing them, so you’ll most likely find me barefoot or in flip-flops (or my super comfy knit UGGs I got right before it got warm again ☹).
5. Dream/crush male celeb?
LOL, I have a lot of them. My hubby and I joke about having a “list” and we critique the celebs on each other’s lists. Chris Hemsworth, Chris Evans, Sebastian Stan (most of the Avengers, really), Alexander Skarsgard (swoon), Brendan Urie & Matt Healy from the music world, and the list goes on. But anyone who knows me even remotely well would give you the same answer: Robert Downey Jr. *Sigh* Not just because of Iron Man, but it’s always been a thing. Like, since I was in middle school.
6. What’s your favorite condiment?
Hmm… ranch dressing. No, mayonnaise. No, soy sauce! No, shrimp sauce! I like food.
7. What color are your panties? :P
Ummm, purple cammo. They are very unsexy hanes bikinis.
8. How tall are you… for real?
5’6” but I can make it to 5’10” in heels! You know, before I fall…
9. What’s your favorite flavor of Pringles?
Original, actually. The weird part is, I like to lick the salty side first, then eat. I like food. ;-) Actually found out on Twitter that they have crazy flavors like chicken and waffles. I want to try the Sriracha ones!

Meet the Author
J.K. Hogan has been telling stories for as long as she can remember, beginning with writing cast lists and storylines for her toys growing up. When she finally decided to put pen to paper, magic happened. She is greatly inspired by all kinds of music and often creates a “soundtrack” for her stories as she writes them. J.K. is hoping to one day have a little something for everyone, so she’s branched out from m/f paranormal romance and added m/m contemporary romance. Who knows what’s next?
J.K. resides in North Carolina, where she was born and raised. A true southern girl at heart, she lives in the country with her husband and two sons, a cat, and two champion agility dogs. If she isn’t on the agility field, J.K. can often be found chasing waterfalls in the mountains with her husband, or down in front at a blues concert. In addition to writing, she enjoys training and competing in dog sports, spending time with her large southern family, camping, boating and, of course, reading!
