Bridge Across the Ocean

by Randy Boyd

Derek Mayfield, a 26 year-old black gay man, goes to Cancun, Mexico, to clock out of life for a while. Once there, he meets Rob, a nave, 16 year-old white boy who is just like the golden, all-American jocks of Dereks youth. Derek strikes up a friendship with Rob and his younger brother Skeeter. The three become an inseparable trio for youthful summer adventure. But Derek also craves the touch of Robs smooth, innocent skin, even though Rob is straight-identified and underage. Its a dilemma that threatens to ruin Dereks peaceful getaway. Its a week that will change the lives of Rob's family and Derek forever. Inspired by a true story. From the author of the Lambda Literary Award nominated suspense thriller "Uprising".
