Book Title;
Nathan’s Façade
Full Synopsis;
A short story about
the power of first love at first sight
…a modern day fairytale.
What if the walls came
tumbling down…What then?
An architect and construction worker meet and fall hard for
one another. When certain circumstances arise they are pulled apart. Can they
find their way back to each other, or are they destined to be alone? With the
help of a mysterious old woman and a newly formed family of great friends and
odd ball characters, they may just stand a chance!
~
Nathan is the hottest young architect around and a greatly
sought after as he is the most eligible trust fund bachelor playboy. Everyone
wants a piece of him and many seek out his artistry. Nathan however is lonely
and keeping a very big secret from the entire world. He is kind and shy and is
always afraid in the back of his mind that he will once again loose everything
that matters to him in life, as he did once before.
Joe is a construction worker who is large and in charge. He
is what he is and doesn’t hide a thing…except how empty he his life has began
to feel. He is tired of one night stands and desperately yearns for something
deep and real…a love that will last, and a relationship beyond the physical. He also has a desire to know the finer
things in life…he wants to drink wine and know if it is a good vintage, he
wants to look at paintings and understand their secret language…he wants a
better life where poverty is a distant memory. He would happily and
thankfully however, settle for true love even if he never gets the rest.
When these two meet, lives and emotions collide and great
transformation is around the bend and life will never be the same for either
men.
Will these two
unlikely lovers be able to overcome their differences? Why do both men feel
like they have met each other, upon first glance? Will Nathaniel let go and let
Joseph knock down the walls of his careful facade to come in? If he does…what
will the fall out be?
Main Character descriptions;
Nathaniel Langly is the
hottest young architect in Chicago. Sought after by everyone and caught by
none. In fact dating none…as in ever; not really….he goes on fake dates four
times a week, and the evening always ends after dinner. Despite his status, his
business achievements, and his talents…he is shy, kind, gentle, soft spoken,
and utterly hopeless when it comes to seeking what he really wants…what he
really needs. A big strong man to come in and share his life with him…and a big
strong hand on his behind. He never had a father to show him how to be a man
and he has always wanted a father figure…a father figure with benefits. Unlike
the circles he runs with… he doesn’t care about money, prestige, or any part of
the superficial facades that the upper class concern themselves with in
desperate attempts to hold on to their fortunes, and distract themselves from
the miseries in their own lives. The fact that Nathaniel looks like the love child
of Emmet Cullen and Clark Kent, with a side of Michael Angelo’s David doesn’t
always help him in his personal life, though it most likely did get him his
first few jobs that made his career. He doesn’t think of himself as all that
attractive though a lot of people tell him that he is. When he looks in the
mirror all he sees is hopelessness and what he doesn’t have. Despite this fact,
he always finds a way to put a smile on face, ever the professional and soldier
on through all the lonely nights. Until he meets Joseph and his world to
changes almost overnight.
Joseph Hays is
a usually quiet, very intense construction worker with a longing to better his
life and situation. Not that he minds hard work and anyone can see that. Hard
work turned him into one of the hottest men ever to walk the earth. He is the
definition of tall, dark, and handsome. He is not shy about who and what he is
either, which despite the differences from his co-workers earned him some
respect. While the other men cat call women to no end, he himself cat calls
young college age boys confusing some, infuriating others, and making a few
feel orgasmic when he looks their way. He is the manifestation of what it would
look like if you crossed Eros and Adonis the Lords of sex and beauty, with the
dark knight on his black steed, and then threw in a little cowboy for good
measure; did I mention he was born and raised in Texas…and they really do grow
them Bigger in Texas! He moved to
Chicago at sixteen. A couple of his peers and ex’s would describe him as a blue
collar god. He likes guys a little younger than himself. They are more open and
more malleable then men his age, who seem so stuck in their ways. His friends
often call him Smokey Joe because his sexual attractiveness is evident even to his
straight fellow co-workers. Smokey Joe doesn’t exactly refer to a cup of
coffee, but alludes to the fact that Joe is smoking Hot. He wants someone to
share his life with. He is tired of the occasional one night stands. He wants
to be adored by one person who he considers truly worthy of his time,
attention, skills, and oh yes… actual Love! He also wants someone to let him
take control in the bed room, and also to show him the finer things in life
that he longs to know!
Main Character
Physical Descriptions and Inspirations;
Nathaniel Langly is taller than the average man, standing at
six feet. He has black curly hair that always manages to look flawless and
perfect. He has kind, soft, blue eyes, and a complexion that is almost unreal;
looking as if porcelain can have a natural bronze tone. His face is angular
with both sharp and rounded features, and high cheek bones that make him look
as if he is descended from royalty…or possibly from a mythological deity.
Joseph Hays is taller than Nathaniel by a good five to seven
inches; he is built, and broad. He has dark hair that when not tied back hangs
just above his shoulders and around his chin. When it is tied back short
strands fall out and hang in wavy tendrils around his face. His dark eyes are intensely
warm and bright. They are a mix of dark chocolate brown, and copper, with
flecks of amber and red. The guy smiles a large sexy grin. He has a cocky
swagger, his hips sauntering so that when he walks he looks as if he is making
love to the entire world.
The Physical Inspirations behind Nathaniel and Joseph are
Henry Cavill and Joe Manganiello.
(I can see why, they are both nice looking men.)

century and on the wrong continent, L.C. Bellami somehow ended up being born
and raised in Texas. He was born into a family which has long been in The
Ministry. Religion and Spirituality play a part in all that he is, though as a
proud Queer he has a far different perspective about life than most people. He
was raised loving Literature and The Arts. After Deciding traditional education
was not serving him all that well, he enrolled in vocational school and became
an Alternative Health Practitioner; and later went on to become an Ordained

that takes him to a brighter place. His goals as a writer are as follows; to
write the stories he always wanted to read as a young queer man and never had,
to bring the awareness of God and Spirit to people with a new perspective, and
to help people understand that sexuality is neither wrong or without sacredness
and beauty!
