The summer promised escape. It delivered temptation. Ford A summer alone at my ex-wife’s cabin at Pathfinders Lake is just what I needed. A chance to relax, reset, and figure out how to get what I want. Namely, a genuine connection with a man that isn’t just interested in my body. But in the middle of relaxing (with no clothes), I’m interrupted by the stepson I hadn’t seen in years, and it seems he’s my new cabinmate. And infuriatingly irresistible. Dylan Determined to break free from the comforting cycle of meaningless sex, I took my friend’s advice, locked it up, and headed to the remote wilderness of my childhood. However, my plans for a “celibate summer” come to a screeching halt when the man who sparked my gay awakening is there…and naked. The more time we spend together, my carefully built resolve begins to crumble and the history of my unspoken longing consumes every thought until all I want to do is shatter every boundary between us. It seems like he’s ready to take the plunge with me, but is it just my imagination or can we really find a way to unlock a future neither of us dared to dream? The Key Holder is a forced proximity, age gap MM romance. It is part of the Pathfinders Lake multi-author series that features forbidden romance.
