The Beautiful Moment is a paranormal romance inspired by Covid-19 set in the UP.
“I wanted to make it current so people can relate to it,” author Kristoffer Gair said.
Gair switched gears from comedy to serious writing during a difficult time in his life. Protagonist Wesley is a bright bubbly guy, but his uncle is making his life miserable.
And then there is Dr. Clark Matsuda.
“I’ve never met anyone whose name was Clark, so I put it in the story,” Gair said.
The decade from hell. First, Wesley Traylor lost his father and grandmother, then COVID took his mother. His sole remaining family member will stop at nothing to steal his inheritance. In desperation, Wesley escapes to Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, where no one knows him and he can exist without fear of his uncle’s brutality.
Circumstances force Wesley to the emergency room and face to face with the beguiling Dr. Clark Matsuda. The last thing Wesley needs—between dealing with strange occurrences at his new house and emergency surgery—is a doctor who’s made it his personal mission to get to know Wesley.
