A beautiful story of a love that was wrong between an older gay man and the boy he adopted in place of his dead son. Even giving him his son's name. So touching, and such a gentle man, with so much love in his heart for his adopted son. This was a man who did so much good in his life and whom so many people loved and admired - including his adopted son. Yet they could not control the deep feelings of sexual attractraction they started to feel for one another. It was a heart wrenching story and yet erotic and beautiful as they fought so hard to control their feelings. You just wanted everything to work out for them both. I couldn't put the book down.
