A Kiss Worth Waking For
Leona Windwalker
- Police
- Detective
- Alex
- Charming
- was
- nothing
- if
- not
- a
- dedicated
- officer
- of
- the
- law.
- He
- was
- known
- to
- be
- something
- of
- a
- hard-ass,
- truth
- be
- told.
- His
- reaction
- to
- the
- victim
- found
- attacked
- on
- a
- public
- street,
- his
- cat
- still
- in
- the
- pet
- carrier
- backpack
- he
- was
- wearing,
- could
- be
- written
- off
- as
- concern.
- Perhaps
- a
- bit
- more
- involved
- than
- usual,
- per
- se,
- but
- then
- he
- was
- an
- animal
- lover,
- so
- maybe
- that
- was
- it.
- If
- his
- colleagues
- discovered
- he
- was
- visiting
- the
- unconscious
- man
- every
- day
- at
- the
- hospital,
- that
- excuse
- wouldn't
- cover
- it,
- and
- he
- had
- no
- desire
- to
- explain
- that
- the
- beautiful
- man
- reminded
- him
- deeply
- of
- a
- boy
- he'd
- crushed
- hard
- from
- afar
- all
- through
- junior
- and
- senior
- high,
- halfway
- across
- the
- country.
- He
- knew
- it
- couldn't
- be
- him,
- but
- he
- still
- felt
- a
- connection
- to
- the
- sleeping
- beauty
- on
- Ward
- Six.
- Why,
- and
- what
- did
- it
- all
- mean?"A
- Kiss
- Worth
- Waking
- For"
- is
- an
- MM
- romance
- fairytale
- retelling
- of
- Sleeping
- Beauty
- in
- a
- contemporary
- setting.
- It
- features
- a
- grumpy
- detective,
- a
- sleeping
- 'prince,'
- and
- the
- sweetest
- kitty
- cat
- who
- loves
- to
- make
- biscuits
- with
- their
- little
- toe beans.
