Fool me three times...
Dale Ramsey is looking forward to his twenty-year high school reunion except for one small problem: will his old friend – and old flame – be there?
Adam O'Connor has disappeared twice from Dale's life. Once after a graduation night fling, and again after a hot reunion years later. When he resurfaces this time, single and on the verge of retiring from the Navy, he wants to mend fences with Dale. Mend fences and maybe tear up some sheets.
The spark between them is alive and well, but Dale resists. After all, Adam has only been interested in him before when his life has been in flux, just like it is now, and Dale refuses to be anyone's placeholder until something better comes along. He wants his friend back, but he's not looking to be deserted a third time.
Over and over, though, their attempts to rekindle their friendship wind up igniting something much hotter, and Dale's feelings for Adam are far too strong to ignore. Should he put himself on the line and risk another broken heart? Or should he be the one to walk away this time?
