A lonely stretch of beach becomes a hiding place for two men who, when their paths cross, are determined not to be ships just passing in the night. Purlman “Purly” Gates—dark, brooding, mysterious, hiding from his past and the hefty price on his head—is hopelessly attracted to the young man who strolls the beach every morning. At the risk of his own exposure and its deadly consequences, Purly succumbs to his desire and sets out to lure the beautiful enigma into his lair. Lucky Cleary wants the swarthy stranger who watches him from the shadows of the cottage deck, and his morning promenades finally pay off when the man steps out onto the beach and into Lucky’s life in a move to bring their paths together. But Lucky has a secret as well—a past mistake following close behind him, promising certain death if it catches up with him. When each man discovers the other’s identity, the truth forms a powerful bond between them and fans the flame of their passion. But is the meeting of these two lonely souls a beautiful destiny or merely a cruel twist of fate in which their desire is nothing more than the kiss of death for them both?… (plus d'informations)

Nice, short novella almost lost in time. The time is actually the ’30, and I think the author picked this time to give both an allure than a feeling of being outlaws to the characters.

Purly and Lucky meet in an isolated beach in California. After days spent looking at each other without interacting, a chance event allow them to officially meet. The target of both men is clear, they are men loving men, and they want to share an intimate moment and nothing else. But nothing is simple, and both Purly than Lucky got secrets.

I love the out of time feeling of the novels, and the uncertainty approach of Purly, maybe one of the few hints this is not today time; sure, lately I started to discover real life stories of men loving men in the ’20, ’30 and ’40, strangely it seems they were even more “free” than in later years, but still, it was done beyond closed door, nothing was in plain sight. So Purly approaches Lucky with a little fear, a feeling that seems strange to the man, quite strange as we will discover later in the story. And Lucky? Lucky is maybe more eager, but also with a layer of innocence that both appeals than scares Purly.

I think this is a first attempt from this author, but it’s a nice one. I’m intrigued enough to want to reading more.
