Openly gay US senator and a man who has spent all his life in the closet… What can go wrong? Senator Pascal Tirado’s last relationship ended years ago and he blames his busy schedule for the lack of dates ever since. His pull towards Jeremy is unmistakable, though, so when he discovers it’s mutual, Pascal wants to try to make it work. Whatever “it” is. He thinks he knows what he’s getting himself into but his patience will be stretched to the limits. Jeremy Callan is so deep in the closet that even people closest to him have no idea he’s gay. It has suited him all his life—in and out of the Corps—and he’s set in his ways even once he begins a new chapter in DC. But then he starts sleeping with Pascal, and things get…complicated. *** This book was previously published by MLR Press. The story was edited and polished.
