Ben
Amann currently hates everything: The accident that temporarily put him in a
wheelchair, the fact that he has to go for rehab and live in an assisted living
home as well. Sebastian Hofers, the good looking but equally bad-tempered new
assistant to his rehab therapist changes that.
Sebastian
has two choices after causing an accident while driving drunk: community
service hours or go to jail. The decision is a no-brainer, and so he meets Ben
at the rehab center. The two of them hit it off and slowly, Sebastian sees more
than just a patient in Ben.
But
their growing relationship faces hard trials, not only because of Sebastian’s
heavy drinking, but also because of the truth: The two of them already met on
an icy street, eight months ago.
Can love
and forgiveness overcome the overwhelming guilt and resentment?
Contains:
Two ill-tempered men, a lot of hang-ups, a shared hope, and a destroyed dream.

Excerpt:
Sebastian stepped out of the sticky bus. It was hot for that
time of the year, and Germany was melting under a heat wave. Munich was no
exception. The temperature was somewhere around 35°C and the air conditioning
in the bus was either non-existent or not working. The fact that everyone and
their mother seemed to have agreed to take this bus didn’t help to make it more
bearable.
Sebastian took a deep breath, but it did nothing to cool him
down. All he got was a lung full of heat, his sweat, and fumes. Fuck this shit. He could be at a bar
right now, sipping a cold beer. But he wasn’t, thanks to that fucking judge.
He had to be here, the last place he wanted to be. Okay, a
few meters more, then he reached the place. The sign was unmistakable:
Rehabilitation Center. Fucking shit. That judge had had way too much fun
sentencing him. Wasn’t there a law against such things? The urge to kick
something, anything in his way, rose, but Sebastian grit his teeth. He was no
sixteen-year-old anymore. Instead of kicking something, Sebastian peered into
the windows. An empty desk sat near the entrance door. Nobody was there.
Sebastian took another deep breath,
which did nothing to quell his anger, and slowly pushed open the door. He
wouldn’t get his Community Service hours done by standing in front of the
building. And if the judge had his way, Sebastian was going to be here quite a
few hours. Two-hundred, to be precise. Fucking two-hundred hours of work in a
rehab center. He should kill that judge.
