He has a form of OCD, which leads to fears about the sea and a lack of focus. One of the things that worked for me in the story is the way that Presley’s illness is shown. On the advice of his sister, Presley goes to visit his parents in Florida where he meets a neighbour, Camden. Presley is one of those people who needs routine and order in their lives, and so when the structure of his job is removed he begins to unravel. It tells of Presley, who when he suddenly loses his job is dumped by his long term lover. I’ve read and enjoyed a number of short stories by this author so I was looking forward to reading this one. Together, they conquer Presley’s fears and temper his need to control everything around him, and their blossoming love gives Dr Brooks something new and beautiful to look forward to. What he finds is a sense of hope and the only man who can rein him back in and save his broken heart, hunky pediatric surgeon, Dr Camden Brooks. On the advice–or rather, the insistent prodding–of his twin sister, he takes a vacation in Pensacola, Florida to relax and reconnect with parents he hasn’t seen in years. His daily routine is thrown into disarray, bringing him close to a nervous breakdown. When Presley Howard loses his job and his lover of five years, control of his life is gone.
