One More Summer
2012
At 38, drama teacher Scott Folsom is ready for a change in his life. He plans to sell his cabin at The Acres, the LGBT campground where he’s spent his last ten summers with his loyal dachshund Stella. Things just haven’t been the same there since his long-term partner, Marlon, left three years earlier after taking up with a younger man. Now, Scott decides to spend one more summer at his favorite place, hoping for a quiet, relaxing time before saying his final goodbye. But when the guy in the cabin next door turns out to be one of Scott’s former students, Gavin Walters, the quiet summer he pictured goes right out the window. Gavin becomes the most popular new face at The Acres, and while Scott is attracted—very attracted—to the young man, he’s wary of their age difference and all the extra attention Gavin generates from others. Yet despite the gossip Scott hears around camp, Gavin makes it clear he has eyes only for him. Can Scott learn to trust his heart again after so many years, or will his insecurity stop him from moving on?

At twenty-eight, Patrick McKenzie never thought he'd be back under his parent's roof, forced to share a room with his younger brother Jake, but that's exactly where he is.

A cabin at The Acres campground hardly seems the solution to Paddy’s problem, but when his friends Gavin and Scott offer him an opportunity to get away from home, he jumps at the chance. Now, Paddy’s determined to stay focused amid all the chaos and finish his classes...until he meets sexy Wilson Jenks, who proves to be very distracting indeed. What happens when a bit of summer fun turns into something more? This story is part of the Summer Days series. Gay / Contemporary / Exhibitionism / Public Places / Series
