For actor Daniel Jacobs, accepting he’s gay is easier than he expected. But actually acting on the attraction he’s just begun to acknowledge proves more difficult. Fortunately the very sexy Vincent Stevens is willing to introduce him to all he’s been missing, but Dan isn’t sure a fling with his TV show’s sometime director is wise.<br><br>Throwing caution to the wind, Dan seeks out what Vincent has to offer and, before he knows it, he’s in over his head.<br><br>Then Vincent experiences a health scare, and he isn’t sure how to take Dan’s sudden fussing. They’re starting to find their way toward more, but it will only work if they can recognize the peace they bring one another.

Something Like Peace

“Thanks, but there’s nothing to be done. I’ll figure it out.”


“You sure?” He was checking, giving me another opportunity to confide in him.


I almost did. I almost told him exactly what had happened between Vincent and me. At the last moment, I nodded and clapped him on the shoulder. I wasn’t sure why I was holding back from him, of all people. I knew Lucas wouldn’t judge, and I knew he’d keep my secret. But I still couldn’t bring myself to tell him. Someday, maybe, but not today.


Lucas was not convinced, but he left me to return to set. I closed my eyes and took a few deep, calming breaths. When I was done, I was as ready as I was going to be. I was a professional, and I’d worked in less than ideal situations before. This was one of my own making. Vincent had never hinted at anything more between us, so it was all on me.


With that thought in mind, I manned up and returned to work.
