Book description
Book one in the Brookside Athletic Club Series Sometimes, the best
thing you can do for a friend is love them. Trying to get away from a
man he loves but can't have, Mike Shriver takes a temporary assignment
in Kansas City. When the construction company he owns with his brothers
is contracted to build an exclusive athletic club in the gay-friendly
neighbourhood of Brookside, Mike has no idea his life is about to get
more complicated. Mike knew he liked Ray DeMonico after their initial
meeting. Unfortunately, like the man Mike had left behind, Ray was
already in love, with long-term partner Brent Atwood. Lonely, Mike
decides to check out one of the local gay bars. While having a drink and
enjoying the view, he spots Brent in the crowd. With one look, he
becomes aware of Brent's dark secret. Suddenly, Mike is caught between
trying to protect Ray and telling him the truth. In a matter of weeks,
Ray's world begins to crumble. Mike stands by Ray, determined to fight
for the man he loves, but Brent's continued threats throw both men into
a situation they're not sure they can win. An avid reader for years,
one day Carol Lynne decided to write her own brand of erotic romance.
Carol juggles between being a full-time mother and a full-time writer.
These days, you can usually find Carol either cleaning jelly out of the
carpet or nestled in her favourite chair writing steamy love scenes.
