  Nick Turner has always been the big, shy, silent type. He's always let his metalwork and blacksmithing skills speak for him.

  Thank God for Baxter Hawthorne dropping into his life . . .

But when he's thrown into proximity with Nick and ends up helping to take care of his kids in a pinch, all that might change. 
   
   
   
  Nick could have sworn he was straight, but the closer he gets to Bax, the more he questions that.

  When Drew Schilling wakes up with a world-class hangover, he isn't especially proud of himself. He's almost forty-five years old -- really, by now he should know better. He certainly knows better than to bring home a hook-up like Esau Wallenberg. His friendly face, his super-hero physique ... charming qualities that appeal to Drew, naturally, but in a guy old enough to rent a car. This kid's barely eighteen. Once they're out of bed, Drew just wants to send Esau home and forget the whole mortifying incident.
  
  
  But Esau thinks he's in love. He's even talking marriage, but what the heck do we know when we're eighteen? The kid's got his whole life ahead of him. And Drew still has some life left ahead of him, too, thank you very much.
  
  
  He just needs to figure out a way to undo a huge mistake so he doesn't have to live it without Esau.

  Boys and Oil - Growing Up Gay in...

  From a young, gay environmentalist, a searing coming-of-age memoir set against the arid landscape of rural North Dakota, where homosexuality "seems akin to a ticking bomb." 
   
   
   
  "I am a child of the American West, a landscape so rich and wide that my culture trembles with terror before its power." So begins Taylor Brorby's Boys and Oil, a haunting, bracingly honest memoir about growing up gay amidst the harshness of rural North Dakota, "a place where there is no safety in a ravaged landscape of mining and fracking." 
   
   
   
  In visceral prose, Brorby recounts his upbringing in the coalfields; his adolescent infatuation with books; and how he felt intrinsically different from other boys. Now an environmentalist, Brorby uses the destruction of large swathes of the West as a metaphor for the terror he experienced as a youth. From an assault outside a bar in an oil boom town to a furtive romance, and from his awakening as an activist to his arrest at the Dakota Access Pipeline, Boys and Oil provides a startling portrait of an America that persists despite well-intentioned legal protections.
