Calvin Maxwell likes older men, and Turner Marsh is definitely the type of man he’s very much into. Growing up with only his mother by his side, Calvin can’t help but be attracted toward men who are much older than him. His father abandoned him and his mother when he was only four years old, choosing to marry someone new, have kids with her, and refuse any contact with him whatsoever. It’s not strange he has abandonment issues now as an adult. Turner has been single for nearly six years now. He was been dumped by his ex-boyfriend of almost twenty years because the man apparently needed someone fresh, someone more exciting. In other words, anyone but him. The first time they meet, Turner is instantly attracted to Calvin and, fortunately, Calvin likes him, too. Then Turner gets the invitation to attend his ex-boyfriend’s wedding. He brings Calvin along, but doesn’t expect his ex-boyfriend to proposition his new boyfriend. Emotions run high, threatening their new relationship. Can it survive?

Never Left Behind

Turner’s first instinct was to reject Calvin’s offer. Meanwhile, another part of him instantly compared Calvin to Roger. In spite of the way Turner and Roger had ended their relationship, it hadn’t always been that bad between them. Once upon a time, Turner had really loved Roger very much, and he believed the feeling had been mutual. He still couldn’t tell when the feeling between him and Roger had fizzled out. At least it had on Roger’s side. After all, Turner had been, for the lack of a less painful word, dumped because Roger needed someone more exciting than him. He gazed into Calvin’s eyes in silence for a few seconds longer before making up his mind.


“Roger Hendrickson, my ex-boyfriend, had stopped by the restaurant earlier today.”
