Chad Michael Murray was the KING of heart throb TV moments.

From Cinderella Story to One Tree Hill, he certainly gave us his fair share of topless scenes and steamy romance stories (Peyton and Lucas in the motel, anyone?).

Well, it looks like the he's moving away from the TV, but not from the romance…

Yep, Mr Murray has written a novel… and it sounds pretty good. His rep told Us Weekly that he "has penned an adventure-thriller-romance novel."

The book is called American Drifter and was co-authored by Heather Graham, who you'll know from numerous movies and TV shows.

The story apparently follows an "American soldier backpacking through Rio de Janeiro."

However, we're going to have to wait a while to read the novel, as it's not out until this time next year.
