Blurb/Synopsis:
Malcolm Webber is still grieving the loss
of his partner of twenty years to cancer. He’s buried his mind and feelings in
his legal work and isn’t looking for another relationship. He isn’t expecting
to feel such a strong attraction when he meets Hans Erickson—especially since
the man is quite a bit younger than him.
Hans is an adventure writer with an
exciting lifestyle to match. When he needs a tax attorney to straighten out an
error with the IRS, he ends up on the other side of the handsome Malcolm’s
desk. The heat between them is undeniable, but business has to come first. When
it’s concluded, Hans leaps on the chance to make his move.
Malcolm isn’t sure he’s ready for the next
chapter in his life. Hans is so young and active that Malcolm worries he won’t
be able to hold his interest for long. Just when he’s convinced himself to take
the risk and turn the page, problems at the law office threaten to end their
love story before it can really begin.

Excerpt:
The door opened, and Hans stood in the
doorway, looking stunning in his tuxedo with a deep azure tie and cummerbund
that set off his eyes in an amazing way.
“Wow,” Malcolm mumbled. “You look great.”
“Come on in. I need to get my coat and we
can go.” Malcolm stepped inside. “Do you need anything?” Hans asked as he got
his things together.
“I’m good, thanks.” Malcolm took the chance
to look at Hans’s house. The furniture was modern—clean with a Scandinavian
feel. In a way it was what Malcolm might have expected, but the overall effect
with the use of color was warm and inviting. Solid furnishings that weren’t
fussy.
“I’m ready when you are,” Hans said.
“Your home looks very comfortable.”
“It is. I need warmth and comfort in order
to work. Most of the time I sit in that chair right there and work for hours.
It cradles me, and I can sit there and get lost in my stories.” Hans smiled
warmly and then turned away. “Ready?”
They left the house, and Malcolm opened the
passenger door for Hans before heading around to his side and sliding into the
seat. “How was your week?” he asked as he started the engine.
“Interesting. I was approached to write
another adventure, and my agent was approached to see if I was interested in
doing a series of science-fiction stories. I’ve always wanted to write them,
but up until now I haven’t had the chance. When you’re starting out, making a
bunch of unexpected changes can throw off readers, but my fan base is
established enough that I can try some new things. How about you?”
“I’m getting a lot of pressure to step into
the role of senior partner.”
“That’s great. Isn’t that a good move for
you?”
“It is, but it isn’t something I think I
want to do.” The last time he’d been able to use David’s passing as an excuse
to step aside, but this time, with the pressure the others were putting on him,
he didn’t have an easy way out. As much as Malcolm was propping Gary up, it
didn’t seem like it was going to work. “It’s a lot of responsibility, and
it’s….”
“Well, whatever you decide to do, I’m sure
you’ll be amazing at it.”
“I don’t know.” Malcolm had tried giving
the idea some thought, but all he came back to was the pressure and
responsibility and not being sure it was what he wanted.
“That doesn’t seem like you. At least not
the work you. When I was in your office, you were knowledgeable, confident, and
seemed like you owned the place. If your peers think you can do it, why don’t
you?”
“Before David died I wanted to be senior
partner, but afterward….” Malcolm took the onramp to the freeway and headed
downtown. “I spent a lot of my life working. David and I had made a life, and
then he was diagnosed and everything changed overnight. Instead of work and
cases, it was chemotherapy and appointments. David became so much more
important than anything in the office. I thought we had time, but it turned out
we didn’t. After he died and when I had nothing but time on my hands, I wasn’t
sure what I wanted, so I stepped aside when the previous senior partner
retired, and I got behind Gary.”
“How is that working out?”
“Not so well.” Malcolm figured the internal
politics of the office wasn’t something Hans would be too interested in, so he
tried to think of a way to change the subject. “I have to make a decision, and
pretty soon. It’s going to devastate Gary, but I have to think he can see it
coming. Is your current manuscript coming along?”
