Steven Clement is a disgraced cop who spends his days reliving every misfortune, every slight, every bad decision. From one seedy bar to another, he drinks himself into a stupor trying to numb the regrets. And then he meets Cal. It takes a while for Steven to realize that Cal is his second chance, maybe the only other chance he'll ever have to return to a life he once knew; a life with love and acceptance and family. But what will happen when someone threatens Steven's new life?
When D. W. Marchwell is not teaching future generations the wonders of science, he can usually be found hiking, writing, riding horses, trying new recipes, or searching for and lovingly restoring discarded antique furniture. A goofy and incurable romantic, D.W. admits that his stories are inspired by actual events and has a soft spot for those where boy not only meets boy but also turns out to be boy's soul mate. After almost fifteen years of working his way across Canada, D.W has finally found the perfect place to live at the foot of the Canadian Rockies. He still can't believe how lucky he is, and, as his grandmother taught him, counts his blessings every day.
