Prologue

Luis Randall watched dry eyed as his husband was lowered into the dark cold earth that was his final resting place. He was saddened by the lost of his friend and his companion, but in a sense, he was relieved. Jackson was no longer suffering and now Luis is free, but free to do what? Luis had literally devoted his life to Jackson or should he say a lifetime. Jackson came from money and made even more as CEO of his family's businesses. He left Luis with enough money to last him several lifetimes, houses, cars, and all the trappings of wealth, but nothing remotely close to what he needed, and that was a direction of what to do next, and where to go.

Luis drew himself into a protective little shell, he cut himself off from everyone and everything. His anchor had been taken away and his world was thrown into the chaotic winds of time. It wasn't until his sister executed an intervention and dragged Luis to their summer home and the stunning little beauty caught the attention of his family's closest neighbors, a masterful and assertive type of a man that knew exactly what Luis needed, and Dr. Stephen Giles was more than prepared to give it to him. Read to see how Luis copes with the calm after the storm.
