Ely's Epiphany — Rita Bay

For Todd Anderson, a West Point graduate from a wealthy family, it was love at first sight. Living with Ely wasn't easy, but it was the only life for him. When Ely plays too nice, Todd fears his partner -- his first and only lover who introduced him to the gay lifestyle and sizzling hot sex -- is preparing him for a Christmas breakup. Will this Christmas be their last together?



Ex-Green Beret Ely Locklear survived a childhood filled with poverty and abuse by building a wall around his heart. Although the millionaire mercenary and entrepreneur has a family and partner who love him, the wall and rough edges remain. When his ward's new Army Ranger husband shows him that loving someone isn't a weakness, he wonders if it's too late for a fresh start with his partner of two decades.
