Shaw Fitzgerald loves touring the United States with his brothers. A fiddle player since an early age, music is the only thing he’s ever been passionate about. That is, until he sees Curt Macaula compete for the first time.
As a competitor in the Highland Games, Curt knows how important it is to concentrate on the individual events. Getting distracted while tossing a one hundred and fifty pound pole isn’t an option. Away from his events, Curt is free to ogle the very pretty member of the Brothers Fitzgerald band.
Toward the end of the season, Curt knows it’s time to make his move. With Shaw being guarded by four macho brothers, it won’t be easy, but Curt is determined to win the man of his dreams.

Shaw es un amor y me encanta como lo trata Curt!!! <3 Los hermanos Fitzgerald son todo un caso en cuanto a guardabosques y cuando a Shaw como al niñito pequeño de la familia, por lo que el pobre se encuentra haciendo cosas a sus espaldas y escondiendo lo que realmente es y siente. Y cuando se destapa todo y realmente se ponen a hablar de lo que sucede todo se desarrolla de maravilla y Shaw y Curt pueden ser finalmente una pareja feliz. Recomendable como todo lo de Carol.
This is a wonderful story about two men afraid of coming out, each for his own reasons. They slowly realize that the only thing that matters is their love for each other. Carol Lynne reveals their growing understanding with sensitivity and passion.
Shaw Fitzgerald is the youngest of four brothers, and is too afraid of his older siblings to admit he is attracted to men. Trying to hide is a natural reaction for him, but when he is found out, Curt’s support gives him the strength to stand up for what he wants.
Curt Macaula has admired Shaw for years but is hesitant to do anything about it because none of his co-competitors can find out that he is gay, and because he is afraid Shaw’s brothers will never accept him. When he finally decides that risking the loss of Shaw is worse than the possible derision from his co-competitors, he makes a move.
Shaw and Curt are wonderful characters who are written with such clarity that they seem to jump off the pages. Their fears are as real as their internal development. I followed their trials and tribulations with rapt attention and recommend this story to anyone who wants to know what it might be like to be afraid of coming out.
