The Maker Jock — S.A. McAuley

Alex Maddox may be a genius. Or not. In thirty-four days he'll know for sure. The robot he's been perfecting for the last four years is finally ready. Alex won't accept anything less than perfection -- if he can keep a broken air conditioner, a flaky twin brother, a thirtieth birthday, and falling for the Norse god of advertising from derailing him.



Christian Lawson is an advertising god. A blond hottie with the beautiful brains to match. He's worked hard to move past the accident that nearly took his legs, but it's been years since he let any man get close enough to see just how deep his scars really go.



Christian isn't the advertising executive Alex expected, and Alex isn't the coolly confident inventor Christian's had his eye on for years. But what they discover in each other may just be better than what either of them could have hoped for.
