Downcast

[Siren Classic ManLove: Erotic Romance, Contemporary, Alternative, Gay, MM, HEA] Guy Partridge isnít out ñ but heís not exactly in either. Heís just sort of there. Between caring for his critically ill father and working at a hardware store, he doesnít have time for much else. He loves the idea of a boyfriend, but he doesnít know how to go about it. When his best friend drags him to her amateur dramatics group, he goes, albeit with a closed mind. Joe Milton is out, well, heís out of prison, and learning to navigate a new world that was so different a few years ago. Nursing the heartbreak of his late lover, he is forcing himself to get out there. Joe isnít looking for love or sex, heís just looking for a bit of normality. The Shakers Amateur Dramatics Society seems a good starting place. A production Shakespeareís The Merchant of Venice throws Guy and Joe together in an unexpected way, but it seems that everyone has debts weighing them down.
