New Release: The Reluctant Uber Guru by Diane Demetre

Latest News / New Releases   / /

He started driving for money. He kept driving for meaning.

Nick Stavros had it all—success, status, and a marriage that had endured decades. But when the Covid crisis closes his business, his world unravels. Crushed by debt and guilt from a devastating affair, seventy-year-old Nick is left with nothing but regret and one last chance to make things right.

After a raw confession, his wife, Michele, chooses to forgive, and Nick trades his corporate office for a rideshare car, becoming an Uber driver. What begins as a means to survive becomes an unexpected path to healing. His car turns into a confessional on wheels, where strangers share secrets, wisdom flows both ways, and Nick slowly transforms into something he never set out to be… a reluctant guru.

With humour, heartbreak, and grace, The Reluctant Uber Guru is a story of redemption, resilience, and the surprising roads that lead us home. Sometimes, losing everything is what’s needed to discover the truth of who you are.

PUBLISHER NOTE: Contemporary. Family Life. Family Drama. 40,500 words. All characters depicted in this work of fiction are 18 years of age or older.

“It’s a hot day,” James pointed out. “Indulge yourself for a moment.” He turned away without waiting to see if I reconsidered, and after a moment, he waded closer to Adam, who’d turned his back to James.

I watched, smiling, as James drew his hands down Adam’s arms, and when Adam leaned forward, inviting James to press his body against those firm cheeks, it was the work of a moment for James to prepare himself for entry, Adam groaned loudly, reaching back to press James’s hips as he begged for the surgeon to move more slowly.

Helen spelled out her rules while Mike listened. The list contained many things she wouldn’t do, and only a few that she would. It should have been a non-starter for him, but there was an allure and an unspoken challenge to her requirements. She was attracted to him, but she had been so guarded she had all but forgotten what it was like to pursue a physical encounter, much less an actual relationship. On a whim, Helen responded to an ad but quickly encountered a handsome reality. Would she go through with meeting him? Could he be the one to chip away her armor?

“If you adhere to your stated requirements, why did you ever bother to respond to my post? It would seem that our end goals are diametrically opposed.”

They paused while a server placed their dishes. After he left and they each had a few bites, she daintily wiped her lips before speaking.

“I can’t say I really know. I stumbled on that site purely by accident. I had mistyped another website’s address. Once there, I became intrigued and explored a bit. Your post caught my eye, so I responded. It’s no more complicated than that.”

Mike put down his fork. “I disagree. It is much more complicated than that. I thought I stated what I was seeking pretty clearly, yet, your comments, and even the almost dowdy manner you project, seems incongruous to my ends.”

A flash of a smile crossed her lips. “Perhaps it is time for me to consider my options.”
