About this listen
Delaney Roberts and Marcus Worthy-Davis have quite a few things in common. Both blue-collar workers in their 40s, they’ve experienced the tragic loss of their wives and meet through their monthly grief group. Their connection is immediate, their friendship solidifying over texts and barstool confessions, neither feeling quite so lonely in the other’s presence.
When Marcus reveals to the group that he’s considering dating, it shakes Delaney to his core. He’s nowhere near ready, not when he feels on unstable ground with his teenage son and has vowed not to uproot his life again. Even if it means pushing his own needs aside. Even if Marcus’ announcement stirs something else inside Delaney, something he’s kept at bay for 20 years, and he suddenly sees their more tender moments in a different light.
The first time Marcus holds Delaney during a particularly rough night, the ache in Marcus’ chest, the one he tries hard to ignore, only intensifies. And when their slow-burning friendship sparks into a blazing fire, they finally indulge in each other to satisfy their needs. Marcus knows the arrangement is only temporary, but he feels a rightness with Delaney he can’t easily explain.
Soon enough, their longing becomes difficult to ignore. But love after loss is terrifying, the familiarity with pain and despair too close to the surface. To fan the flames of their connection, they’ll not only need to make room in their hearts but also take an enormous leap of faith.

Such a sweet bisexual-awakening romance!
Delaney Roberts is a sole parent, raising his teenage son, Grant, and still grieving after the death of his wife a year ago. There’s a lot of tension between overprotective Delaney and quirky Grant. Delaney has formed a strong friendship with fellow widower Marcus Worthy-David, whom he met a grief support group they both attend. Delaney feels wrong-footed when Marcus tells the group he is ready to date again, this time with men, and the two men both begin to renegotiate their friendship and their growing feelings for each other. Christina Lee’s signature tenderness and care for others shone thoughout this story, I loved everything about it. Delaney, Marcus, and Grant were all hugely sympathetic and decent guys adjusting to loss. However, while grief was their common link, the story was hugely positive and hopeful. I loved the scenes involving Grant, they felt so real with Grant chaffing under Delaney’s overprotective and hesitant parenting. I also loved how Marcus was able to act as the bridge between the two, just like Delaney’s wife had. I also thought the scenes involving the extended families and their own grief brought extra richness. Audio narrator Nick J Russo’s dulcet tones and relaxed pace were perfect for this story.
