BEN
Falling in love, killing a guy by accident and mortally wounding
myself when it appears that my bride has taken her life is a lot. Doing it six
times in four days is just too much. The addition of two weekend matinees to
Shakespeare Boston’s Romeo and Juliet
schedule must be taking its toll. Still, I wouldn’t trade it for anything. This
year—just like the past seven—began in Los Angeles, where modeling work has
dominated my life, keeping me far from home and too busy to do theater. Six
months into 1988, due to circumstances I never expected to face, I’m back in
Boston performing for a live audience. It feeds my soul, so I don’t care if I’m
exhausted.
I’m tired at the end of every weekend, but on this particular
late-August Monday morning, I might be hallucinating. Adrenaline spiking, heart
in my throat, it takes a few beats for me to figure out what just happened. My
hands grip the railing that kept me from falling off my second-floor porch as I
take in the lump I just tripped over on my way out the door.
It’s a mottled gray color, and I think that’s fur. Not moving,
though. Wondering if it’s alive, I step closer. It makes a snuffling noise,
unfolding itself, and I release the breath I’ve been holding. It’s not some
weird package from a mega-fan; it’s a dog. With tufted brows and a whiskery
muzzle, he looks like the dog in that movie when we were kids—Benji.

Synopsis
Ben Porter may be living the dream,
but it’s not his.
His dad’s health scare might not be
the ideal reason to come home for the summer, but it’s a welcome break from the
stellar glitz of Ben’s life in Los Angeles. Even if modeling has him rivaling
Marky Mark’s fame, posing isn’t his passion. Landing a role with a Boston
Shakespeare theater brings him closer to fulfilling his dreams of being a real
actor.
Facing the reason he went west in the
first place? That’s another story.
Lucy Minola’s dreams were shattered
seven years ago when a drunk driver smashed into her brother’s car. She knows
it was her fault. So as penance, she works hard to care for her family, goes to
confession faithfully, and buries all the feelings she had for the person who
left when she needed him most: her brother’s best friend.
When an injured dog brings them back
together, Lucy’s good-girl facade begins to crack. Women everywhere are
obsessed with the rad body they see in magazines, but she’s the only one Ben
seems to notice.
She can’t trust herself with the man
who walked away… but can she let him go a second time?
This bittersweet romance, book two in
Karen Grey’s 1980’s Boston Classics series, proves that everyone deserves a
second chance in love and in life.
