For travel writer Joe, the world has lost its sense of wonder including New York, the city he once called home. But when he meets a handsome French stranger who shares his obsession with hotel pens, Joe is about to see New York—and himself—in a whole new light.
Travel writer Joe Jordan hasn’t been home to New York since his boyfriend broke up with him. Instead he’s hopped from hotel to hotel, collecting pens like a child in a fairytale might leave a trail of breadcrumbs hoping to find his way back.
But now he has an assignment, an article titled “5 Ways to Rediscover New York.” Being back on his home turf is daunting—until he meets Claude Desjardins, a gay romance translator staying in his hotel who, after a night of near passion, leads Joe on a treasure hunt through Manhattan, writing clues on Joe’s skin using hotel pens. But it isn’t just New York Joe needs to rediscover.
Hotel Pens is a sweet and touching 17k-word romance about rediscovering yourself in order to find true love. It features a sexy French stranger, a happy ending and a unique and wonderful journey through the greatest city in the world.
