The Lookout

Editeur: Pink Flamingo Publications
When Angus advertises the vacant bedroom in his apartment on a gay site, he ends up with more than he bargained for. Tall, dark and handsome otter Tom and blond muscle-bear Patrick couldn't be more different in personality, yet Angus asks both men to move in. After a boozy first night together culminates in a skinny dip in the complex's swimming pool, Angus, Tom and Patrick fall into bed together. The explosive chemistry between them continues throughout a hot spring and summer. But when Tom and Angus go to visit Angus's family for Christmas, Patrick remains home working. When they return, Patrick has changed, now distant and sullen, and no sign of the vibrant, happy man they've known. At first, Angus thinks Patrick may be jealous of the close bond he's developing with Tom. Then a chance discovery in the kitchen bin leads Angus to think there may be darker reasons for the change in Patrick's personality. Tensions brew until late one night, when a disastrous phone call brings Angus's world crashing down around him.
