Despite being betrayed and robbed by his long-term lover, gay paramedic Nolan Crane remains an undaunted romantic. He’s looking for true love to heal his broken heart. His partner and friend, John Krulak, is straight and commitment-phobic. He’s not looking for anything more than his next one-night stand. But lately, the thrill of the hunt doesn’t satisfy him. Lucy Bellino is Nolan’s oldest friend. She loves him dearly, but platonically. With his permission, she’s delighted to have sex with John—anytime, anywhere. But even wildly adventurous sex with Lucy (against the wall in an alley, in the stationhouse in the middle of a shift, or with Lucy bound and blindfolded in the back of a van) can’t satisfy John the way his alarming new fantasies about his partner do. All three carry scars from their past. All three are looking for some kind of lasting happiness. But if they’re going to have a future together, they’ll each have to find a way past their fears. And when one of them puts his own life in danger, it’s clear that the time for waiting is over. Ready or not, Nolan and his best friends are about to become lovers. Publisher's book was previously released by another publisher but has been re-edited and revised.

Lyra Marlowe has been writing since – well, since she learned to write. Her very first book was selected to be read at the Young Author’s Conference for elementary school students. They told her she could write, and she’s never stopped. Her first erotic romance, "Thirteen Silver Moons", was published in December of 2007. At the same time, a sweet fantasy story, "Solstice Night", was also released in an anthology. "The Flavor of Summer" was her first fictional foray into the world of BDSM; "First Taste" is a follow-up story to "Flavor". "Ghosts in the Graveyard" is her first New Adult Paranormal novel. Lyra has lived on the shores of Lake Erie all her life, but dreams of a land where it never snows. She and her husband have three children, two insolent cats and a good-natured mutt. They share a 110-year old Victorian home with a gentle grandmother ghost who loves babies but hates painted woodwork and the color purple.
