Publisher Description
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 “until we can’t”—and the cost of changing that to “until forever” might be too high, however much they both want it.

The Deep of the Sound
My, my, my. Amy Lane. Where do I start? Her books always get to me. From the moment I start reading she grabs my throat and doesn’t let go until I read the last word and even then I’m sure the marks are still there whilst I keep thinking of the characters and the story.
Cal’s life is hard, having lost his parents and having to look after his ageing and forgetful great-uncle and his autistic brother. He feels that he has no hope. Until he meets Avery, a young man who wants to prove to himself that he can be a success after leaving his selfish boyfriend and his ignorant parents. So yes, Cal and Avery meet and so begins their story.
Not one word is wasted; every word is important. Every description, feeling, emotion, including the dialogue, is bright, sharp and golden with arrows that pierce the heart with understanding, clarity and love. Amy Lane is a Wordsmith Extraordinaire. I give it ten stars **********.
