| STORY DESCRIPTION 'Naked Hero' is the story of Lewis Macleod's search for the elusive perfect man as he battles with the adversities of life. Told in two parts, the second 'The Journey Home' picks up his story at Wimbledon six months after his adventures Down Under in 'The Journey Away'. But things have moved on, and the man who will watch him play the final from his supporter's box is a surprise package.
Lee Porter and Scott Taylor, the two suitors in Australia, are still hovering in the background. But it is The Big Dour Scotsman, Gavin Strang, who now takes up the challenge to win Lewis's favour. From London the story moves to Gozo, a small Mediterranean island steeped in mythology, where Lewis escapes having regained his Wimbledon title. He needs time away from the public glare to reassess his life. Gavin is there acting as a friend, but romance inevitably blossoms.
It is a thorny path the couple tread however, with turmoil aplenty in the form of Jilly McPhee ??" a mischievous minx who is after a scoop. Lee Porter is far from idle either, and he's there with a sting when the action returns to England. But for the nomadic Scotsman, Lewis Macleod, the journey home must go full circle, and it is north of the border where he must go to find the answer to his private quest.
Note: 'Naked Hero ??" The Journey Home' was originally released as an experimental piece of work under the simpler title 'Naked Hero' and is now offered as a rewritten polished novel. It functions perfectly well as a standalone book but would be appreciated more if read after 'The Journey Away'.
