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?

Doc nodded. “You want to live in Northfield, with me, and you never want to go sightseeing.”


“That’s right, and exactly what I’ve always told you.”


Doc nodded. “Yes, it’s what you’ve always told me.”


“So, in the future, can we agree on me knowing what I want, and when I tell you I want something, you listen without trying to find some hidden meaning?”


“Great. Because now I want you to make love to me, after that, I want breakfast, and later, I want to go have coffee at Lisa’s and play with my Livvie princess—” Levi held up a finger, “—I can’t believe I missed when she went from being a princess to not being a princess.” A lump formed in his throat. Doc’s entire expression softened as he pulled Levi down for a kiss.
