Unfreezing Parker Avrile

Can a younger man and his talented dog put a phobic screenwriter on the red arrivals carpet at the annual Academy Awards ceremony?
Chance, the white-hot gay screenwriter of the moment, has received a VIP invitation to Hollywood's most coveted event. But he has a secret-- severe agoraphobia. Sometimes he can't even leave his building, much less fly to Los Angeles. Nolan is his last resort. With the help of his Jack Russell Terrier assistant, the 25-year-old engineer promises he can train Chance to operate a telepresence robot from Manhattan to walk the red carpet for him in Hollywood.
The stunt will be great publicity for both men. The trouble is training Chance leads to touching Chance. Nolan knows the sophisticated older man is way out of his league. It's about show business, not monkey business. So how did they end up together at a rooftop party on New Year's Eve?
This 27,000-word Runaway Model novella includes high steam, a cute dog, and a happily ever ever. Absolutely no cheating or cliffhangers.
