The Boy Next Door — Kate McMurray

Can two neighbors rekindle a childhood friendship -- with the potential of something more -- overcome the disdain of a conservative town, a threatening ex-wife, and an impossible situation?

When Lowell moves back to his hometown to take care of his ailing mother, the last person he expects to see living in the house next door is his childhood friend Jase, grown up now and more attractive than ever. Jase had starred in many of Lowell's teenage fantasies, but Lowell is convinced Jase is straight. And yet, as they rekindle their friendship, it begins to look like Jase might not be so straight after all.

Jase has problems of his own. His troubled ex-wife has allowed him full custody of their daughter on one condition: he never exposes her to his affairs with other men. The arrangement works just fine until he starts falling for Lowell, and a whole new world of possibilities opens up for him. But how can he have a relationship with a man and still keep his daughter?
