    About this ebook

    When Alex Toomey’s partner of eight years breaks up with him in the airport boarding area just before his flight, Alex is devastated. Barely able to function, he boards his plane, where the man he’s seated beside, Tom Genser, comes to his rescue, first with a drink, then later with some solace, both emotional and physical.

    But Alex is walking wounded and, though the two men realize something wonderful is coming alive between them, Tom insists they part to allow Alex to gain a grip on his life. Can Alex survive long without Tom and worse, will Tom even still be there if he does?

      The Love of My Life

      By Dale Chase

      I met the love of my life twenty minutes after I lost the love of my life. Reeling from an unforeseen breakup, I boarded a plane for Los Angeles on a warm June day in 1998. During the one-hour flight I was resurrected and set adrift into what would ultimately become my life. So crazy, that awful mix of pain and promise, and so confusing.

      Apparently, Raymond had been planning the breakup for some time. To avoid a scene and any long discussion, he purposely chose to tell me his news when he knew I had to get on a plane. Two seats were booked and paid for, only one was to be used.

      He was talkative on the way to the airport, as if letting me get
