The Warmer

Fresh out of college, Ned Alderman is anxious to start his internship at Peppercorn Press while spending the summer with his cousin, Nadine, who he hasn't seen since they were kids. His fears are soon mitigated when he meets Chase Becker, the best "warmer" in the business, whose radiance mesmerizes Ned and others. An expert joy facilitator, Chase only knows how to pass happiness along to others--until he meets the woman who teaches him how to keep it. 

Set against the backdrop of a young and swanky New York City, The Warmer follows Ned, Chase, and their friends for one remarkable summer, through encounters both sensual and scathing, through conversations both painful and powerful, with wit that can boost or bite.
