Bücher der Reihe This Time Forever

Charlie King is doing fine. Sure, he's a widower raising a teenage daughter who just got her first boyfriend, his book series isn't writing itself, and he has a crush on his new neighbor-the guy next door. But everything's just fine. Simon Lynley is doing better. He moved to Bethlehem to fall out of love and rebuild his career. An affair with his neighbor isn't part of the plan, but the attraction between them is too hard to ignore. But when Simon's ex follows him to Pennsylvania seeking reconciliation, and Charlie's life starts to feel like a video on repeat, everything comes apart. Charlie worries that he's failing as a father, and Simon is a distraction he can't afford. Meanwhile Simon doesn't know if he could survive being left again, and he hasn't come all this way to make the same mistakes. But despite their fears, it's only together that they'll find the strength to slay old foes and build the forever they've been waiting for.

Malcolm Montgomery was a history teacher and track coach until an accident left him with two broken legs. He'll recover, but life has knocked his feet out twice now. He's not sure if he's ready to try again, especially when it comes to love-and slick guys like Brian Kenway. Still, he needs help mentoring the school's LGBTQ society, so he asks Brian to take some responsibility. Brian has been hiding behind his reputation as a liar and a cheat for so long that he actually believes he's that guy-until his nephew, Josh, turns up on his couch, tossed out for being gay. Brian has never considered being a father, but he knows all about being rejected by loved ones. Now Brian wants to be more: a partner for Mal and a role model for Josh. But when Mal's recovery is set back and the sad truth of Brian's past is revealed, the forever they've been chasing seems even further from their grasps. It'll take a rescue effort to revive their sense of worth and make Brian, Mal, and Josh into a family of their own.
