Flowers for the Gardener
Sharon Maria Bidwell

Ethan Fields has worked for the Gardener family for many years. He's struggling with debt and the desire to leave, and has loved Richard far longer than the man would believe. Ethan can cope with most things, but his anger with Richard's mother won't fade. Until that and his feelings for Richard are resolved, he feels trapped and, alas, the idea that sex will get Richard out of his system isn't working.
To make the situation worse, both men assume too much and don't say the right words, and Ethan's offer of 'just sex' grows more complicated by the day. Can Richard and Ethan stop getting their wires crossed before their paths diverge?
