He cannot seem to get away from Tyler as they work together, have mutual friends, and are receiving a humanitarian award together. First, we have Alec who is still reeling from his partner Tyler abruptly moving out. It is about two men finding love on their own terms. This book transcends the typical gay for you format. But, the hands on role is scorching hot and Dylan’s part playing the backup boyfriend feels so very real. Dylan wonders if even an expert bullshitter like himself can fake an attraction to a man. Tyler suspects Dylan is lying and asks if Dylan will be Alec’s date for the party their mutual friend Noah is hosting to celebrate their award. Dylan finds himself telling Tyler that he and Alec have been having wild, hot sex for a few weeks, which sounds all kinds of weird coming out of Dylan’s very heterosexual mouth. Having spent a portion of his teenage years on the streets, and losing his best friend Rick to HIV, Dylan is drawn to the vulnerability he sees in Alec. Watching Alec endure his ex sends Dylan into protective mode. As if that isn’t awkward enough, Alec and Tyler founded a clinic together and they are this year’s joint recipients of a humanitarian award for their work with the homeless.

When Alec’s bike won’t start for the second time, Dylan makes a house call to Alec’s, just as Tyler and his new boyfriend arrive to pick up the remainder of Tyler belongings. The man whose calloused handshake is far different than the smooth, professional hands Alec shakes all day long as a doctor.Īlthough extremely booked, Dylan finds he is unable to say no to Alec’s request for help. There, he sees Dylan Booth, the man with the phone voice that flowed over Alec like warm oil.

When the bike stalls, Alec tries to get his humiliation in check as he pushes it into Adams’ Vintage Motors. Alec found out this morning that Tyler has a new boyfriend. It has been 56 days since Tyler, Alec’s partner of two years, left him. The purchase went against the advice of Alec’s friend Noah, and Noah’s mechanic friend Dylan, as they both suggested Alec go with a starter bike.ĥ6 days.

Not just any motorcycle, but a vintage 1964 Harley Davidson that was a spur of the moment impulse purchase. Alec has just bought his first motorcycle.
