A Man Named Jax - Betrayal, #3 - E-book - ePub

Thank you for choosing to read this story that is part of the Betrayal Series. This contemporary gay romance centres on how one man copes with lifelong depression, and the end of a relationship/beginning of a new one. If this is likely to be a trigger for you, be advised to proceed cautiously. If you, like me, suffer from depression, and you need help and support, please contact the Mind charity. Jax is not really coping very well.
Suffering from clinical depression since the age of seventeen; life is a series of battles to overcome the crushing weight of hopelessness. Things look even less promising when current partner, Rudd, decides they need a break, and Jax is shipped off to the Isle of Wight to the house left to him by his late partner Allen, in the process, displacing his mother, who has lived there for the last five years since Allen died, forcing her to move in with her sister-in-law.
Taking no notice of his mother's warning to avoid the man camping on the beach, Jax makes the man's acquaintance. Bardd, travelling and recovering from burnout, is nothing like any man whom Jax has met before. Curiosity morphs into the first flutterings of something deeper. When Bardd makes his move, Jax has to decide if he and Rudd are truly over, and if he wants the guilt of being unfaithful on top of everything else.
Jax's choice coincides with the decision to finally address some of his issues, chief among them, coming out to his father. Can love bloom inside the maelstrom?
