Lack of Professional Detachment: Fall Trilogy Short Story
()
About this ebook
Adrian Rios, prodigy. But gifted kids get bullied for their strangeness, for making the rest feel stupid in class.
Don Maxim, a man twelve years his senior. But when the twenty-year old rescues the eight-year old from a vicious beating, neither can predict their meeting ten years later.
A meeting they meet as men and equals, a time when old debts are paid, favors returned.
A budding relationship whose chemistry crackles like the joyful lightning of a heavy summer storm.
This sweet love story fits anywhere in the Fall Trilogy series, and was originally written as a stand-alone.
