Bücher der Reihe Starting Over

Sometimes life has to fall apart before it can be put back together.Aled is in a rut. Thirty-three, separated from his wife and avoiding his best friend so he doesn't have to see how well her love life is going doesn't make for a good time. So, when a friend suggests a one-night stand to shake off the dust, Aled decides to play along. Maybe some no-strings-attached sex is exactly what he needs to get himself going again and give him the energy to get his life back on track. But when Aled's dominant streak meets Gabriel's flirtatious submission, the one-night stand rapidly spills over into the following days and weeks. And what started out as just sex doesn't stay that way for long, from the flour fight in Aled's kitchen to the homemade curry in Gabriel's flat. Happiness is right in front of him-but Aled has to stop looking back if he wants to reach it.

His best friend is getting married—so why isn’t he?Aled’s best friend is getting married.He supposes it’s only natural for his thoughts to turn to his own wedding, and the space on his hand where his ring used to be. He tried and failed, so what’s the point in trying again?Anyway, Gabriel isn’t interested. Between his old friend Kevin, his live-in dominant Aled and his new boyfriend Chris, Gabriel has plenty to keep him occupied without getting involved in any of this wedding nonsense. If he’s changing to appreciate love without sex as well as sex without love, that doesn’t mean he’s any more amenable to expensive parties and silly costumes.But Aled can’t get the question out of his head, and Gabriel can’t shake the feeling that there’s something Aled’s trying to ask him.Is this three-year affair about to become something a little more serious?
