Jesse, a Southern California guy, is a wide-eyed dreamer who's in love with love. His huge and hungry heart is always in pursuit of romance. After many years of amorous adventures, missteps, and heartbreaks, Jesse has finally found happiness with the patient and nurturing Diego.



But Jesse remains haunted by memories of intense past relationships, both at home and in Mexico: Carlos, Agustin, Alexis, Santiago, Andres, and Ulises. Jesse loved them all, some passionately, some unwisely-until each relationship self-destructed. But in Jesse's memory, none of these men can overshadow his first love: Dani, a friend from boyhood.

Along the way, Jesse has hedonistic vacation getaways, marked by delirious and dangerous encounters with many beautiful and impulsive men. It's a pathway that is exciting, often frustrating, but ultimately rewarding. Despite the many ups and downs, Jesse receives unconditional love and life lessons from his supportive parents, friends, and an eccentric older mentor named Bill.



An epic romance novel written with merciless but open-hearted honesty, Hard Journey of the Heart: Jesse's Story will ring true for anyone who believes in everlasting love-and has been brave enough to search it out.
