Dan Holstrom is a middle-aged widower who spent the past year wallowing in grief. His daughter is determined to get him out and socializing again, and to that end, she enlists her boyfriend, Bruce, a personal trainer at a gym, to coach her father. Bruce decides to involve his own father, Luke Fraser, to get Dan back among the living. Luke Fraser is a gay man, a gym aficionado, and an all-around nice guy. When his son Bruce explains he has a new client who is a non-active bisexual man who withdrew socially after the death of his wife, Luke is intrigued and willing to help. An attraction grows between Luke and Dan which slowly morphs into something more. However, Dan’s insecurities cause the budding relationship to cool, and Luke is seen out and about with another man. Reluctantly Dan agrees to accompany Luke to Calgary, where the mystery man in Luke’s life reappears. Dan’s ready to give up and go back to his semi-reclusive life. When a misunderstanding jeopardizes their relationship, is it too late to rebuild things between the two men?

Love, Again

“Breakfast is served, Daniel. I hope I didn’t wake you.” He did a quick eye sweep over my body, raised an eyebrow, and grinned.


“Nope, I was just getting up. What’s with the food? We’re not on for gym today. Not that I’m ungrateful, mind you.” I waved him in and took the coffee.


“First, you tell me why you’ve got a wet and sticky spot spreading on the front of your pants. Did I interrupt a personal moment?”


The bastard smirked and knew what the hell he was seeing. I glanced down and noticed the stain from my over-abundant load widening. “Grab a seat and start on your coffee. I need to change.” I looked as indignant as I could. “It was something that happened while I was asleep. Maybe I’m getting incontinent or something.”


Luke laughed. “Incontinence doesn’t cause semen stains. I’m not a doctor, Daniel, but even I can tell the difference.”
