For two gay men in the Deep South, fighting for love and family can lead to one beautiful, sexy, and unexpected knock out . . .
In college, an âare you sure youâre gay?â experiment with his (female) best friend left Sterling Harper married with a baby on the way. Eleven years later, his life is flipped upside-downâhis wife has died, his âlittle boyâ is transitioning to her new life as a girl, Alexa, and his embittered in-laws have proven too transphobic to babysit for the summer like theyâd planned. Theyâre fighting for custody of Alexa, though, so Sterling canât afford to give them more ammunition. If only there were a nice, conservative, trans-preteen-friendly nanny available on short notice . . .
Jericho Johnston doesnât do âconservative,â but Alexa takes to him immediately. Heâs got a teaching job lined up for the fall, a killer smile, and loads of charisma . . . but he is not going back in the proverbial closet. It doesnât take long for the two men to go from comrades-in-arms against their rarified community to two men in love. This kicks off the looming custody battle with Sterlingâs bigoted in-laws, though, and the idea of two gay men raising a trans daughter isnât going over well with anyone. Now, with so much to lose, Sterling and Jericho must fight harder than everâfor themselves, for Alexa, and for their future.
