There are no rules to starting over... Running away from his messy divorce hasn't brought Ira Fragale the peace he craves. If he's going to get his life together, he needs to pull up his big-boy pants and clean up the mess he's made of his life. Bartending is an easy gig, Cameron McCulloch enjoys the friendships he's developed since his family rejected him for being gay, but he longs for more. Cam's had a crush on the older man for a while, but Ira only has one-night stands. He never has do-overs; Ira may be older, but that doesn't mean he knows what he's doing. When Ira falls ill Cam cares for him, and their relationship slowly begins to shift. The more Cam learns about Ira, the more he is drawn to him. Will the older man open up and let him in? None of this explains why Cam is the target of a series of hate crimes. The small town of Skagit has its share of trouble, and now someone has it in for the LGBTQ community, and Cam is directly in their crosshairs. Unforgivable is a dual POV about a wise younger man and an older man who could learn a thing or two. The Shielded Hearts series follows a different couple in each book as they stop killers, unravel a human trafficking ring and fall in love.
