Barnaby Lassiter has had a thing for attorney, Nathan Llewellyn, since he began working at the law firm as an admin assistant. Too bad conservative Nathan doesn’t seem to know the flamboyant Barnaby is alive.<br><br>But a chance to take care of Nathan when he is ill, leads to a date and then so much more. Nathan continues to have doubts. Barnaby is the hottest man he’s ever known, but their differences worry him. He’s seen too many relationships that don’t make it.<br><br>All of his fears are realized when he sees the popular, too appealing Barnaby in action at a club. When Nathan thinks their differences are too much to overcome after all, Barnaby is left with a broken heart and an uncertain future. And Nathan’s left wondering if he’s just made the biggest mistake of his life by letting Barnaby go.

Only For Him

Barnaby stared, his pulse kicking into high gear. “You-you liked the way I looked?”


Nathan lowered his gaze to his soup. “You looked, you know, okay for that sort of look, yeah.”


Hardly a ringing endorsement of his prior appearance, Barnaby thought, but he was so pathetic, he decided it was better than nothing. “Maybe I’ll go back to the other way, then.”


Barnaby forced back a sigh and searched for something else to say. “How’s your soup?”


“I guess you can’t do much to harm canned soup.”


“Unless you forget it’s on the stove and burn it dry,” Nathan said somewhat sheepishly. “Can I ask you another question?”


“Where’d the name Barnaby come from?”


He laughed. Thatwas easy. “My grandmother. She loved seventies television. One of her favorites was Barnaby Jones with Buddy Ebsen. Thus, the name.”


“Nope. I’m just lucky she didn’t name me Maude or Rhoda.”
