Must Loathe Norcross

Born wealthy and ambitious, Grady once worked hard and played hard—so hard, it brought him to the brink of ruin. Now, after a six-year retreat from the world, he’s ready to start a new life.

Assigned to write a series of articles about a Connecticut valley’s small towns, Grady checks into a local hotel in a run-down town called Norcross. And meets a bellhop who seems determined to show him around… and give him a more intimate tour later on.

Josh jumps at the chance to show off his town to this exotic stranger, and maybe get a chance to get the hell out of Norcross. He dreams of seeing the world, but the man he thought might help him find a new path turns out to be less influential—and more attractive—than he expected.

Together they uncover a strange plot to undercut Norcross’s reputation and dollars. Now they’ll have to decide how far they’ll go to save the town…and how far they’ll go with each other.
