The Deep of the Sound (Bluewater Bay Book 8)

Cal McCorkle has lived in Bluewater Bay his whole life. He works two jobs to support a brother with a laundry list of psychiatric diagnoses and a great-uncle with Alzheimer€s, and his personal life amounts to impersonal hookups with his boss. He€s got no time, no ambition, and no hope. All he has is family, and they€re killing him one responsibility at a time.

Avery Kennedy left Los Angeles, his family, and his sleazy boyfriend to attend a Wolf€s Landing convention, and he has no plans to return. But when he finds himself broke and car-less in Bluewater Bay, he€s worried he€ll have to slink home with his tail between his legs. Then Cal McCorkle rides to his rescue, and his urge to run away dies a quick death.

Avery may seem helpless at first, but he can charm Cal€s fractious brother, so Cal can pretty much forgive him anything. Even being adorkable. And giving him hope. But Cal can only promise Avery €œuntil we can€t€€"and the cost of changing that to €œuntil forever€ might be too high, however much they both want it.
