What He Left Behind

WINNER - 2017 EPIC Award
Josh Carver would do anything for Michael Adair, his childhood best friend. In the five years since Michael finally left his abusive ex-partner, Josh and his husband Ian have helped him leave that horrific past behind him. Michael seems to have adjusted well enough...until he admits he's afraid to date because the abuse has left him terrified of physical intimacy.
Josh is stunned again when Ian proposes a solution—Josh can help Michael learn to enjoy sex again. It isn't like it would be the first time. After all, Josh and Michael lost their virginity to each other years ago.
Michael hesitates, but then takes him up on the idea. It isn't long before Ian's getting involved too... and it's all fine and dandy until emotions come into play that threaten their friendship, as well as Josh and Ian's marriage.
Warning: Contains three guys who will do anything for each other, a hot tub that's always the right temperature, and a cat with an attitude problem.
