Named #1 “Best Underrated M/M Book of 2014″ by Goodreads, and “Favorite Book of 2014″ by Love Bytes MM Romance Reviewers.

Despite being a DSP book, I wouldn’t class it as a romance, although there is one in the story. It is certainly not genre writing. It’s much better than that. And the narration, apart from the accent of one minor character, is also very good. Perhaps the quality of the work, so unusual for DSP, is the reason for the lack of promotion :)

I hope sharing this will help others discover this book, and if you like it you will buy it. The author deserves some reward, and sales that will at least help to get another book published, but people have to first discover his work.

Length: 6 hrs and 36 mins

Publisher’s Summary

Born into a blue-collar family, John Wells beat the odds and came out a winner. As chief of staff to Patrick Donovan, a US senator and aspiring presidential candidate, he enjoys all the power and privilege of a DC insider. But while riding high on a wave of success, he’s blindsided by a series of betrayals from the people he trusts the most. In the space of a single day, John’s perfect life unexpectedly unravels when his career falters and his marriage implodes. Following a final, devastating blow, John assumes a new identity as “Peter” and flees to Provincetown, where a tight-knit community of eclectic characters slowly transforms him.

Peter finds himself drawn to Danny Cavanaugh, an enigmatic carpenter who is struggling to come to terms with his own troubled past. As they work together to renovate a local landmark, the two men forge an unlikely friendship that blossoms into love and becomes the foundation for a new life they hope to build together. But when a reversal of fortune pulls John back to DC, the treacherous world of politics he thought he’d left behind threatens to destroy his chance at true happiness.
