When the right person walks into your bar, everything changes...

Rico Demara has survived more hardships than most, but every setback made him stronger. He's finally living his dream as owner of the Cock & Bull bar. The only thing missing? A love life beyond one-night stands and dating disasters.

Evan Calhoun spent twenty years married to his high school sweetheart, raising two kids, and denying who he really was. A year after his divorce and coming out, he's ready for real love—but random hookups and failed dates aren't cutting it. He wants forever with someone who matters.

The moment Evan walks into Rico's bar, their instant attraction is electric. But it takes weeks of stolen glances before Evan finds the courage to ask Rico out.

When misunderstandings and prejudices threaten to tear them apart, can two men who've waited a lifetime for love finally find the forever they deserve?
