Publisher Description
This is the FoxTales version of the work previously released through Samhain Publishing. Other than the cover material, the book is the same.
Nichol Seacliff is facing his darkest hour. He’s sole remaining heir to a failing sheep farm on the Isle of Arran, and about as lonely as any young man could be. His only companions are his grumpy grandfather Harry, and three sheepdogs who won’t answer to his whistle.
He’s thinking about throwing the whole business in when, one bitter, stormy night, a stranger breaks into his barn. Nichol, at the end of his rope, is inclined to deal with new trouble with a shotgun, but soon realises this intruder means no harm. He’s a lost lad by the name of Cameron, on the run from a dodgy and dangerous Glasgow past.
As the island winter melts into glorious summer, Cameron finds a place not only on the farm but in Nichol’s heart. Even Harry can’t hold out against his charm. But Cam can’t escape his shadows, and the dreadful secret he’s concealing has the power of a hungry tide, ready to wash all his newfound happiness with Nichol away.

Scrap Metal
Nichol who, one winter night is fighting the weather, the pain of losing family and the despair of having to give up his studies to come back to help his ungrateful grandfather to run the tumbledown farm. He’s at his lowest point when Cameron breaks into a barn for somewhere to hide and for shelter.
What follows is a beautiful story with descriptions of the island so real, you can see, smell and touch the landscape as though you were there. The sexual tension between Nichol and Cam is tender as well as sizzling. They are two strong young men, both struggling with their lives, but each one, bringing to the other, a bright, healing love. And to keep that love, they will have to fight for it.
Definitely five stars, more if possible.
