It’s worth fighting for the love of a lifetime.
Liam Macadam is a twenty-two-year-old recent college graduate starting law school. He’s a man with a broken heart who is wondering if the best answer might be working 24/7 and having anonymous hookups to keep him sane.

John Lawrence is a forty-year-old former music professor who is attending law school to fulfill a longtime dream. His sixteen-year relationship is over, and John wonders if the opportunity for love has passed him by.

When Liam and John meet on the first day of school, sparks fly and imaginations go wild. They fall in love quickly and realize that they’re meant for each other. Then someone interferes, and things go terribly wrong. Old fears surface, one of the men leaves, and the other goes after him. Will a transatlantic chase be enough to restore their love of a lifetime?

This sizzling tale is chock-full of flirtation, romance, angst, and adventure—not to mention plenty of steam and a very happy ending.

About the Authors

Joshua Harwood

Joshua Harwood and his husband and co-author, Ryan Taylor, write gay romance with heat and heart. With twelve books and seven audiobooks to their credit, they have earned high praise for their exciting, sweet, steamy, and (mostly) low-angst stories. The BETHESDA BARRACUDAS HOCKEY series is a hit with readers and listeners, and their most recent series, MOHEGAN U HOCKEY, has been even more popular. The books are emotional reads, sweet and steamy with a little more angst.

Ryan and Josh began writing to celebrate their own romance and are passionate about telling authentic stories about other gay men who fall wildly in love and find their own “happily ever afters.” You can find their website at https://www.ryanandjoshth.com/.
