Four

When unlikely attraction blossoms between a twentysomething genderqueer tattoo artist and an older, small-town veterinarian, both are forced to face their pasts for a chance at a loving future. Four years ago Padraig Donovan lost his husband, the only man he’d ever been with. Now his life consists of the work he loves, a big empty house, and the possibility of a lonely future. Kaos’s experiments with makeup landed him in the hospital at the hands of his disapproving ex. With nowhere else to turn, he flees to Acker, Wisconsin ... and runs into a sexy widower and the kindest man he’s ever met. Padraig and Kaos know there’s something worth exploring between them, and as they raise a puppy and deal with the ups and downs of their respective jobs, they fit into each other’s lives in ways they never expected. Being with Kaos -- who is so different than the guys he’s always been attracted to -- opens up an exciting new world for Padraig. But can he convince Kaos to trust another man with his body ... let alone his heart?

There was a sincerity in Mr. Miller’s voice, and Kaos nodded. “Okay. I’ll keep that in mind.” He printed his things, and by then, Emil walked back into the post office.

“You ready?” he asked cheerily, making Kaos smile.

“Yeah.”

“Emil?” Mr. Miller stopped them from leaving. “Have you thought about the postcard idea?”

“A bit. I’ll let you know soon, okay?” Emil flushed lightly, as if embarrassed of something.

“There’s no rush. Have a nice day, boys.”

“Bye,” Kaos said, despite feeling an odd pang at being labeled “boy” by someone. It happened every now and then. Someone called him sir or boy or man, and he felt a tremor go through himself. It was normally on the more feminine days that happened, so he wondered if tomorrow would be one of those days where he’d wake up feeling like wearing his girly clothes.

Sighing, he followed Emil to the car and got in.
