Keenan Hunter, a na?ve farm boy, quickly falls for his college roommate, Tucker Reynolds, a more sophisticated city slicker. For a time, Keenan's feelings for Tucker appear to be reciprocated, although neither man openly expresses any feelings they may have for the other. For reasons Keenan can't understand, Tucker starts to date Jane Williams, a fellow student. Keenan deals with the pain of rejection by finding another man to love. But time and again, this proves unsuccessful. Tucker has captured Keenan's heart and no one else can match the forever love Keenan thought he had with Tucker. When Tucker marries Jane, he asks Keenan to be his best man. Keenan reluctantly agrees and performs his duties, all the while hiding the pain of his broken heart. The experience leaves Keenan with a life-long aversion to weddings. Years pass and the two men drift apart. Keenan becomes the head veterinarian at an animal rescue center. And because of a three-legged Yorkshire terrier, Tucker comes back into Keenan's life. Circumstances have changed for Tucker. Will these changes finally allow Keenan to regain his forever love? Maybe weddings aren't so bad after all.

Keenan's Forever Love

Keenan was put off by the man’s abrupt approach and rough handling of his equipment. Keenan realized this was not going to work for him. He was in search of a relationship, not one and done sex. He pushed Ted’s hand away, politely, but firmly refused Ted’s offer, and left the bar, Ted calling after him that he was nothing but a pretty boy prick teaser.


Keenan was unnerved by the incident at Woofies’ and waited a few weeks to let his courage build before he tried again. He decided he needed to find a place where he felt a little more in control. This time he researched online and decided on a place called The Shamrock Bar and Grill. It was close to campus and had several positive reviews.
