Fire and rain, bk. 5

Invisible scars can be the hardest to heal. Fire and Rain, Book 5 Seventeen years ago, firefighter Rick Turner kissed a boy, and he liked it--then he paid a horrible price. Now he spends his days running from who he is and what he wants, his nights hooking up with a man who doesn't fill the aching hole in his soul. Until one night, newly dumped, he gets into a fistfight and is picked up by a cop-and-counselor team...and the counselor is none other than the guy who gave him that fateful first kiss. Stan Gable relishes serving people who actually want his help. When he encounters grown-up Rick--and oh my, how he's grown--Stan's first instinct is to step in and use his counseling skills to ease Rick out of his fears and out of the closet. But Rick's prickly temper and lack of self-acceptance make him his own worst enemy. Before Stan can help Rick overcome those obstacles, he'll have to take a look deep inside...and heal his own guilt before he can heal the man he still loves. Warning: Contains a blustering, angry, and very closeted firefighter, and a counselor who doesn't know how to mind his own business. Flashbacks of a gay bashing could be upsetting to some readers
