Bru Baker is here today to read an excerpt from her latest release, Tall, Dark, and Deported from the Dreamspun Desires
Thanks for joining me here on Boy Meets Boy as I wrap up my blog tour for Tall, Dark, and Deported! Today I’m reading an excerpt that details Mateus and Crawford deciding to rent a car together and drive to Vancouver since there are no more flights out of Seattle. They only met an hour or so before this, so it’s pretty crazy. (It’s also based on a real-life experience I had at O’Hare a few years ago. Looking back, I can’t believe I was planning to drive three hours with two strange men I’d just met. Yikes!)
Crossing the border into love.
Snap decisions and misguided ideas bring Portuguese national Mateus Fontes and businessman Crawford Hargrave together at the Canadian border crossing.
Mateus is caught in a catch-22. With his almost-expired tourist visa, entrance to Canada is denied, but the US won’t let him back in either. Crawford thinks he’s solved things when he tells the border agent they’re engaged, and it works—except now they have to actually get married before either of them can get back into the United States. But Crawford has been burned by marriage once, and he’s determined not to make that mistake again.
Neither of them expects real feelings to bloom out of their fake marriage, but they do. And the two of them have to learn how to be honest with each other to make things work, which is especially hard when their entire marriage is based on lies.

Bru Baker spent fifteen years writing for newspapers before making the jump to fiction. She now balances her time between writing and working at a Midwestern library in the reference department. Most evenings you can find her curled up with a mug of tea, some fuzzy socks, and a book or her laptop. Whether it’s creating her own characters or getting caught up in someone else’s, there’s no denying that Bru is happiest when she’s engrossed in a story. She and her husband have two children, which means a lot of her books get written from the sidelines of various sports practices.
