Book Blurb

Baker Brockton’s lover, Coby Darling, left town last year because Baker was afraid to come out and admit Coby was more than a friend. Baker’s been miserable ever since, but now Coby’s home for the holidays, and Baker thinks they might have a chance until Coby hints that he might move back to town if Baker can give him what he wants. Baker is furious about another ultimatum—is he willing to compromise if it means they’ll be together?

 

Book Review

What if you are too scared to come out of the closet, and the man you love leaves the state to start up a life elsewhere? What if this same man then returns one Christmas and you have to confront him – as well as your own fears?

That is what happens to Baker. He has just about managed to settle for a "pretend straight life", get his business going, and is managing to hold on. When Coby returns it is a shock. Not just because Coby is temptation incarnate for Baker, but because the situation forces him to acknowledge a few things. He still loves Coby. He misses him more than he is willing to admit. He is scared to death of coming out, and the personal as well as the professional consequences.

Coby is well aware of Baker's fear. He walked away from his home down because he couldn’t bear it anymore. He came back because he still hasn’t given up, and he now has a potential job in the small town where Baker lives. He just cannot bear the idea of moving there only to be ignored by Baker.

If you like reunions and all the heartache and joy they can bring with them, if you like reading about a man who seriously needs to re-examine his priorities, and if you're looking for a short, sweet read with a little angst, you may like this short story.
