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

“A penny for your thought,” Turner whispered into Calvin’s ear.


Turner nodded. “Nothing but the best for Roger and Richard, and they have the money, fame, and power to make that happen.”


“I’ll never be able to afford anything like this.”


Turner squeezed Calvin’s hand. “I don’t care about any of that. It doesn’t matter to me. As long as you’re willing to marry me, I don’t even mind if we just have a simple party, inviting only our closest friends and supportive family members. You’re the most important person in my life. Everyone and everything else can take a back seat.”


Calvin beamed at Turner. “You always know the right words to say to make me feel better about myself.”


Turner raised their joined hands and kissed the back of Calvin’s palm. “Nothing but the truth, babe.”
