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

“It seems to me you’ve made up your mind.”


“Yeah. You just want someone else to reassure you that your decision is all right.”


“Yes, you are,” Anthony cut Turner off midsentence. “Unfortunately, I can’t give you that. Only youknow Calvin well enough, how he will react to the news about your ex-boyfriend’s wedding, and the fact that you want him to go to the wedding with you.”


Turner pondered Anthony’s words carefully before nodding and wiping his palms over his face. Then he huffed loudly.


Anthony smiled. “Just talk to him, man. If you need to, spend hours hashing things out with him. You can’t bury your concerns deep inside and hope they will work themselves out.”


Turner chuckled. “I won’t run away from it.”


“You sound as if you’re speaking from a personal experience, though.”
