Skipping Stones — D.J. Manly

Leo knew his best friend Mark understood heartbreak. When he phones Mark with his sad story, the man offers Leo the money to return to the U.S. and asks him to help out at a resort he co-owns with his own former lover, Reed.

Although Leo has never met Reed -- the poster boy for heartbreaker of the century -- he feels like he knows him, given the letters Mark wrote over the years, pouring out his heart about Bad Boy Reeds' lecherous adventures and insensitivity. And Leo also can't help but resent Reed. Not only had the guy repeatedly broken Mark's heart, but he'd stood between Leo and Mark, preventing them from ever being together.

Now, Leo is convinced that he has Reed all figured out, but when the gorgeous, red-hot computer engineer unexpectedly comes home, Leo is completely unprepared for the man who supposedly raked Mark over the coals. And soon, everything gets turned upside down, which might make Leo's recovery from a broken heart impossible this time around, plus destroy a long-time friendship in the process...
