The Odds — A.J. Llewellyn

Hot guitar player Angus Mackay learned how to escape unhappiness early in life. The only love he'd ever felt came from his big sister, Debbie. When he learns she is dying, he's forced to return home and face not only his demons, but hers as well. He must deal with Steven, the lover he left behind, who helped Debbie raise her daughter, Sherry. But Angus is in for a rude shock. Not only must he confront his past, but what could have been his future because Eli Borich, a man he had an amazing one-night stand with, is Steve's lodger, friend, and employee. Can Angus cope with it all?

Eli had his hopes set on a musical career and a relationship with Angus before they'd even met. Given the chance to play one night in Angus's band, his hopes rose then fell when Angus split town and didn't look back. Eli's musical hopes have died but he senses that Angus isn't as indifferent as he initially seems. What are the odds that Eli's luck is about to change for the better?
