Bisexual books

Der kürzliche Tod seiner Frau hat den Polizisten Evan Cerelli aus der Bahn geworfen und wenn er seine vier Kinder anblickt, sieht er nur, wie er ihnen nicht gerecht wird. Seine liebevolle Frau hatte sich um sie gekümmert und sie erzogen, und jetzt fühlt der alleinerziehende Vater sich erdrückt von dem Schmerz des Verlustes und der schweren Verantwortung, seine Kinder großzuziehen.

Auf das Drängen seiner Partnerin hin feiert Evan den Ruhestand eines Kollegen und trifft den ehemaligen, in Ungnade gefallenen Polizisten, Matt Haight, der inzwischen als Sicherheitsberater arbeitet. Es stellt sich heraus, dass die Freundschaft, die aus Einsamkeit und dem Trost der Flasche entsteht, genau das ist, was beide brauchen.

Das vergangene Jahr war ein langsamer Tod für Matt Haight. Von seiner geliebten Polizeitruppe geächtet, sieht er sich mittlerem Lebensalter und konstanter Einsamkeit gegenüber und außer einem schwarzen Loch kann er in seiner Zukunft nichts erkennen. Als er in Evan eine andere verlorene Seele findet, setzen sich ein paar Teile, die er verloren geglaubt hatte, wieder zusammen. Ihre Freundschaft verwandelt sich in etwas Tiefergehendes, aber Liebe ist das letzte, was die beiden Männer erwartet haben und beide haben Schwierigkeiten damit, ihre neuen und überwältigenden Gefühle füreinander mit sich in Einklang zu bringen.

Sono trascorsi dieci anni da quando il vicesceriffo Aaron George, rimasto vedovo, si è trasferito a Colton per far crescere i figli in una cittadina sicura. Tra i membri della comunità, ha conosciuto il professor Larkin, detto Larx, un allegro e divertente insegnante di scienze e allenatore di atletica delle superiori. La promozione a preside ha costretto però l’insegnante a rinunciare agli allenamenti e a correre da solo su una strada pericolosa. Aaron, che fino a quel momento ha sempre e solo dedicato la sua vita ai figli, si scopre improvvisamente preoccupato per quell’uomo e distratto dal suo petto nudo e luccicante di sudore.

Anche Larx vive per le figlie e i suoi studenti. Non è pronto a farsi ammaliare da Aaron, ma quando quest’ultimo si offre di correre con lui, inizia ad apprezzare la fermezza e l’umorismo del vicesceriffo. Inoltre hanno le stesse priorità: innanzitutto i figli, poi il lavoro, e i propri interessi tristemente all’ultimo posto.

Basta però un bacio a trasformare due uomini sulla soglia dei cinquant’anni in due adolescenti innamorati, nonostante le responsabilità di cui devono farsi carico. Poi un atto di violenza minaccia di soffocare sul nascere la loro relazione. Saranno quelle responsabilità a svolgere un ruolo fondamentale nell’impedire alla città di esplodere. E quando la situazione raggiungerà il punto critico, la loro nuova famiglia appena formata potrebbe essere proprio ciò che impedisce al mondo che li circonda di crollare.
