Blurb:

Detective Kurt O’Donnell is used to digging up other people’s secrets, but when he discovers his slain partner was married to another man, it shakes him. Determined to do the right thing, Kurt offers the mourning Davy his assistance. Helping Davy through his grief helps Kurt deal with the guilt that his partner didn’t trust him enough to tell him the truth, and somewhere along the way Davy stops being an obligation and becomes a friend, the closest friend Kurt has ever had.

His growing attraction to Davy complicates matters, leaving Kurt struggling to reevaluate his sexuality. Then a sensual encounter neither man is ready for confuses them further. To be with Davy, Kurt must face the prospect of coming out, but his job and his relationship with his Catholic family are on the line. Can he risk destroying his life for the uncertain possibility of a relationship with a newly widowed man?

Review:

After the loss of his partner Kurt finds himself lonely even surrounded by family, that is until he meets the widow of his dead partner who changes everything. A noble man to a fault Kurt had me riveted from page one. I loved how he went out of his way to help Davy through the hard times without a second though. Davey, the poor man, went through so much not only after the death but during the past ten years I was surprised he was able to pull out at all.

Through the times and trials of this relationship the reader was able to see the struggles of one man coming into himself and facing feelings that he never imagined he would have. No matter how many family members surrounded him Kurt needed Davey and you could clearly see it throughout the entire story. These two men were meant for one another and I loved reading about their story.

I highly recommend this book if you like stories about finding love in the most unexpected places.
