Levi Campbell made one huge, stupid mistake. When his older boyfriend fears he's holding Levi back from fulfilling his youthful dreams, he encourages him to break free and seek adventure. Levi, hurt and confused, does just that ... But in an immature act of rebellion, he enlists in the army. The army! Levi never wanted to be a soldier, and he never, ever wanted to go to faraway places, but he is now committed to serving his country for two whole years. Madoc Griffiths did the right thing when he let Levi go, he knows he did, but if it was the right thing, then why can’t he move on? Every night he dreams about Levi; every day he misses him. But Levi is young, and Madoc will not stand in the way of Levi following his dreams. But being a soldier isn’t Levi’s dream. There is nothing Levi wants more than to do his time and return home to Northfield and fight for his man. Madoc was sure he’d be able to move on, but once he hears Levi will be home on a two-week leave, he can think of nothing except seeing him again. But can he stand to be with his lover for two weeks and then let him leave to fight a war?

When Skies Are Gray

Gray’s fingers brushed against the back of his hand, and he increased the distance between them. Gray’s smile dimmed a little, but then he shrugged and kept on walking. “You have someone back home?”


Levi grimaced. “It’s complicated.”


“Nah, it’s not that. We sort of ended it before I left, or…I left to prove a point.” Levi shook his head. “So fucking stupid.”


Gray laughed and slung an arm over Levi’s shoulders. The touch had some of his muscles unclenching. He’d do just about anything for a hug, it had been so long since anyone had touched him, but he didn’t want Gray to think he was clingy. And, touch-starved or not, there wasn’t anyone he wanted any closer contact with other than Doc.


“Being here puts things in perspective.”


Gray squeezed his shoulder. “I’d never want to be anywhere else.”


“You wantto be here? Are you insane?”
