A M/M romance novel about discovering who you really are. Bob Anderson knew it was not quite normal to be relieved that the woman he'd proposed to turned him down. He thought he was ready; he was thirty-six, it was time to choose a partner and take the next step. He wanted her as much as he'd ever wanted a woman. It was not quite normal to be sitting in a bar asking himself whether he'd ever wanted a woman at all. Jade Derecha wasn't out to pick anyone up. He wasn't out to meet anybody. He only went to sit with the guy in the suit because he looked so tragic. And then the guy put that ring box on the table without a word, as if it had a story to tell. Jade opened the box; thought wistfully about how good that ring would look on his own graceful hand; and put it on. By the end of the night, Bob was calling himself Robert, because he wasn't the person who'd always been called Bob. Only one other thing in his life had changed. That one thing changed everything else. Because he woke up beside Jade and realized there was so much more to want. Adult situations, themes, and language; 70,200 words and a happy ending.
