Return to Carlsbad

Three months past his breakup, Aaron is adrift, the only thing sustaining him being his weekly therapy sessions with Marc. But Marc's feelings for Aaron have changed, and this unlikely couple must transition to a new and risky adventure: falling in love at breakneck speed while trying hopelessly to pace themselves.

Cautious and introverted, Marc has issues of his own, for both his marriage and his only other relationship with a man ended suddenly with a great loss. When Aaron asks Marc to drive him to a school reunion in his coastal SoCal hometown of Carlsbad, which harbors darkly painful memories, the new relationship hangs by a thread.

Book 3 of the Elsie Street Trilogy, set in contemporary San Francisco, offers both closure and the hope of lasting happiness to its struggling characters.
