    About this ebook

    Pilot Adam Walker has had one great love in his life: Harris Kingston. But twelve years ago, when he accepted a scholarship and joined the Navy, he chose duty to his country over love. Their on-again off-again relationship was never more than private joy, a frustrating fact of military life.

    Harris never wanted to be anyone's dirty little secret. When Don't Ask, Don't Tell was repealed two years ago, Adam broke his heart one last time. He's picked up the pieces and moved on, building a great career and dating guys who aren't afraid to be seen in public with him. But when Adam strolls into his salon asking for a haircut, his newfound happiness goes to hell in a handbasket.

    Adam's been at war with himself for over a decade. Now on the verge of leaving the military, he's desperate to court Harris the right way and be forgiven. With two weeks' leave and a Navy man's conviction, he's ready to start over if he can convince Harris he's ready to come out and commit.

    • 2/5
      Adam comes off as very unlikeable and completely uncaring. Also, sex is central to the story rather than emotion.
    • 2/5
      I just felt that Adam was such a user. all those years. Harris let him use him as a booth call. so sad, because the other guy seemed the better choice. DNF.
    • 5/5
      I loved this story. DADT was a poor decision and a terrible law. The government should never put themselves between people who love each other. Love is not up for legislation. This story shows just how wrong government involvement in human rights is.
