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.
It's a roller coaster of happiness and sadness...This book is just so much. I loved it.
This is the kind of story Andrew Grey does so well and it was sweet, sexy and romantic...This was a lovely tale of love and acceptance. Emotional without being angsty and romantic without being sappy, I really loved this book from the first page until the last! Since I'm exceptionally picky with books lately I was happy to see that a story was able to grab my attention as much as this title did!
The characters are ones to fall for. Malcolm and Hans made their way into my heart in no time. Every scene between these two made me wholeheartedly sigh ♥. I recommend it to both fans and new readers alike.
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?”
