There's a long silence. "Zach?" "Yeah?" "Are you going to make me say it first?" There's another pause and, 'if he says "say what?" I'll just die', Daniel thinks. "I've wanted to say it for a while," says Zach. Daniel breathes again. "Let's say it together, then nobody has to be first." "Okay. Yeah. Ready?" "Ready." "I love you," they say. And they lie very still, waiting for the sky to fall. Daniel Sylvan and Zach Graham come to Chicago to find new lives; Zach from England and Daniel from New Orleans. Each has dark secrets in his past that he would rather forget, but both young men learn that there is no future without the past; that trying to bury old pain only leads to new pain. Difficult as it may be, the past must be faced before they can grow. Daniel and Zach must find the courage to grow ... together. BIttersweet Place is about their first year together, a year of changes and challenges, pain and joy, and a growing commitment to one another and to the difficult decisions they must make. Bittersweet Place is both romance and erotica. The sex is explicit and hot as hell but, as Zach says, "no matter how wild and dirty we get, we're always making love". Leigh Carroll, a native Chicagoan, tells Zach and Daniel's story with humor and authenticity. In Bittersweet Place the reader will meet not only two extraordinary young men, but also a very special place: Chicago's Boystown, its history and its vibrant, breathing life.
