Xavier: Single Dads of Gaynor Beach

Xavier

When my wife died five years ago, leaving me alone to raise our three young daughters, only my duty to them and my work as a psychiatrist kept me from losing myself in grief. I did my best to be a good father through the darkest days, but now I can see I've been distant and cold. Things need to change. I've pledged to my daughters that I'll start doing better. Be more involved. Show them what a great dad looks like. If that means soccer practice, violin lessons, and sitting through a dozen dance recitals, then I'm all-in.

Pliés, pas-de-deux, cheerleading practice, and enough tutus to last a lifetime- how is this my life? I'm a fisherman up in the Bering Sea. In the offseason, I travel through Alaska and, on rare occasions, drop in to see my sister and her four sons in Gaynor Beach, California. This year? She's laid up with an injury. Suddenly I'm running her dance studio, and I'm a fish waaaay out of water. Then I meet another guy who's equally uncomfortable. He's working so hard to be a good dad, and I keep hoping he'll notice me. Except, when my sister's healed and fishing season starts, I'm out of here. Right?

This gay romance is a slow burn, mid-angst, age-gap, opposites-attract, instalove story with a fisherman who needs the ocean, a counselor who needs therapy, three young girls in need of love, and a found family that'll change their lives forever.
