By Quarry Lake — Josephine Myles

Still waters run deep…

Tommy's been away from his home in rural Somerset for three years. Long enough to sort out who he is, and to get over the feelings of confusion and shame that blighted his lifelong friendship with farmer's boy Rob. He's out and proud, now -- and he's coming home to claim back what he lost.

Rob's the one who stayed behind, working on the farm with little time for a social life. With Tommy coming back into his world, he could have a lot to gain -- and everything to lose.

He's going to have to take a leap of faith. Straight into the ice cold waters of Quarry Lake.
