The One That...Book 3 & 4 — T.C. Blue

The One That Stayed: When a senseless act of violence tries to separate David from Russell, his lover of two decades, David loses himself in memories, even while dealing with reality and wishing for more time. Between meeting Russell for the first time and the horrific instant that tries to take Russell away, their lives have been a series of moments, ranging from awkward to amazing. David wants to believe their love will conquer all, because he can't let go. But does Russell feel it, too? Can Russell hold on, through the surgery that will either save his life or end it? Does Russell love David enough to stay? The One That Broke Free: The last thing war vet Travis MacRayne expects to find while visiting Boston is a man like Vincent Clark. Also unexpected is that Vincent seems to be attracted to Travis -- scars, bad leg, and all. But Travis has to return to Alabama the next day, and a cell phone doesn't seem like enough to bridge the distance. That's the first of many obstacles that Vincent teaches Travis to overcome, and Travis wants nothing more desperately than to believe in the love he feels building inside. Still, the doubts instilled by harsh experience are difficult to ignore. Can Vincent convince Travis that the time is right to break free?
