Due anni dopo essersi trasferito a Seattle, ha ancora i suoi scopamici, Rhett ed Ethan, e un'infinita parata di uomini stupendi e disponibili al locale dove lavora. Una relazione? I drammi e i cuori infranti non fanno per lui. Molto meglio la sua vita solitaria. Quando la figlia di Rhett gli presenta Alex Corbin, un novellino sulla scena gay, Kieran è interessato. Dopotutto, i ragazzi timidi fanno sempre scintille a letto. Ma Alex non è solo schivo e riservato. È vergine in tutti i sensi: non ha mai neanche baciato nessuno. Kieran non è certo un insegnante, e il suo primo istinto è di scappare a gambe levate. Ma la sua coscienza non gli permette di gettare quel ragazzo ingenuo in pasto ai lupi, dove qualcuno potrebbe approfittarne. Il piano è aiutare Alex a scoprire la sua sessualità, farlo uscire dal guscio, e poi ognuno per la sua strada. È un piano perfetto, a prova di idiota... sempre che nessuno si innamori.

Le nombre de corps s'amoncelle en même temps que les similitudes... et les preuves désignant James comme le meurtrier. James n'est plus honnête avec lui depuis longtemps, bien avant la fusillade. Il se montre évasif, sans parler de ce tout petit détail qu'il a omis d'avouer à Brian concernant son occupation de dealer de drogue accro au jeu. Il n'est certes pas le meilleur petit ami au monde, mais il supplie Brian de le croire quand il lui dit ne pas être le tueur. D'ailleurs, qui que soit le coupable, il est évident qu'il souhaite finir ce qu'il a commencé, et Brian est le seul en qui James ait confiance. Mais jusqu'où Brian est-il prêt à aller pour protéger un homme qu'il ne connaît sans doute même pas ? Deuxième édition.
