Can Russell be the man Skip needs, or will he break his heart?
Russell tells himself he'll marry Susie because it's the right thing to do. His summer job coaching her water ballet team will give him plenty of opportunity to give her a ring. But on the team's trip to the annual Aqua Follies, the joyful glide of a trumpet player's solo hits Russell like a torpedo, blowing apart his carefully constructed plans.
From the orchestra pit, Skip watches Poseidon's younger brother stalk along the pool deck. Skip grew up on the other side of Skid Road, where he learned that it never hurts to smile at a man, because good things might just happen. Once the last note has been played, Skip gives it a shot.
The tenuous connection forged by a simple smile leads to events that dismantle both their lives. Has the damage been done, or can they pick up the pieces together?
Aqua Follies is an m/m romance set in 1955 Seattle with plenty of pining, slang like your grandparents used to use, and a love story for the ages. If you love historical romances with stories of forbidden love, dive into Aqua Follies today!
