All the worldโ€™s a stage...but real-life lessons are hidden in the heart.

The Shamwell Tales, Book 2

Though Tristan must join his familyโ€™s New York firm at summerโ€™s endโ€”no more farting around on stage, as his father so bluntly puts itโ€”he canโ€™t resist when Shamwellโ€™s local amateur dramatics society begs him to take a role in A Midsummer Nightโ€™s Dream.

The bonus: giving private acting lessons to a local handyman whoโ€™s been curiously resistant to Tristanโ€™s advances. Not only is Con delicious, thereโ€™s fifty pounds riding on Tristan getting him in his bed.

A late-diagnosed dyslexic, Conโ€™s never dared to act, convinced heโ€™d never be able to learn his lines. But with Tristanโ€™s help, he takes the chance. Trouble is, the last time Con fell for a guy, he ended up getting his heart broken. And with Tristan due to leave the country soon, Con is determined not to start anything thatโ€™s bound to finish badly.

Just as Tristan thinks heโ€™s finally won Conโ€™s heartโ€”and given his own in returnโ€”disaster strikes. And the curtain may have fallen forever on their chance for happiness.

Warning: Contains a surfeit of Bottoms and asses, together with enough mangled quotations to have the Bard of Avon gyrating in his grave.
