BLURB
On the
flight back home to San Diego, Chance Emerson meets an intriguing older man.
They flirt, and Chance hopes for more, but the man never calls. Months later,
they meet again at a charity auction. Chance decides this time he isn’t walking
away.
Darren
Walsh can’t stop thinking about the gorgeous grad student who almost had him
joining the mile-high club. When Chance suggests they hook up, Darren says the
only thing he can—yes.
From
their first moments together, Chance and Darren know there’s more between them
than lust, but their differences in age and income make a real relationship
challenging. They decide to keep things secret, yet as they learn more about
each other, Darren realizes he wants something real and open. To have that,
he’ll need to convince Chance that he has a place in Darren’s world, and Darren
will have to take some risks of his own.
EXCERPT
Chance touched
Darren’s arm again, and Darren felt an honest-to-God jolt of electricity zip
through him. “Thank you for distracting me.”
Their gazes met, and
Chance licked his lips, a provocative move that made Darren wonder if he really
wanted to say goodbye.
“Are you getting a
cab or something?” Darren asked. Was he really going to ask Chance to share a
ride with him?
Chance shook his
head. “A friend is picking me up.”
“Right. That’s
easier, I guess.” Darren hated how disappointed he was.
“But…” Chance pulled
something from the outer pocket of his bag. “Here’s my card. Give me a call if
you want to play cards again or just talk or…something else.”
Darren took the card.
Was it already warm from Chance’s touch, or was that his imagination?
Chance didn’t seem
like the type to carry business cards around. He glanced down at it and
realized the front was simply an artistic rendering of a DNA double helix. He
flipped it over and saw Chance’s number and his email.
When he looked back
up, Chance had a wary look on his face. “No pressure or anything if you don’t—”
The plane hit the
tarmac then, jolting them. Darren hadn’t realized they were so close to the
ground.
“I gotta text my
friend,” Chance said, pulling out his phone.
Darren forced himself
to focus on arranging a Lyft for himself rather than staring at Chance. By the
time he finished, they were pulling up to the gate. Darren tucked Chance’s card
into his leather iPad case and then slipped the device in the pocket of his
briefcase.
For the first time
since Darren had been startled by the young man holding a giant container of
cheese balls, an awkward silence fell between them. He considered assuring
Chance he’d call just to make him feel better, but he’d be lying.
He’d be tempted to,
especially on nights when he was lonely. Going out or using an app to find a
hookup often seemed like far too much trouble. But if he saw Chance again, it
wouldn’t be the same. In the real world, Darren and this exuberant, young grad
student had nothing in common.
Are you sure? You
talked to him more easily than with anyone else you’ve encountered in months,
maybe years.
