Imperfect - Ryan Field - Bog

When handsome young Rider loses his job in journalism and his only alternative is to take a new job working with his ex-lover, Drew, he's not sure it's going to work out. It wasn't an easy break up, and they haven't spoken since. However, Rider wants to remain a journalist, and he needs the new job to survive and to pay off his student loans. It's not as though Rider isn't aware of the fact that he was mostly to blame in the break-up with Drew, and he apologizes profusely time and again for sleeping with the plumber and the pizza delivery man at the same time. In spite of the apologies, Drew continues to hold a grudge and to slut-shame Rider every chance he gets. And Rider takes the criticism because he truly is sorry, he knows he was wrong, and he still has strong feelings for Drew that never disappeared. When they travel to rural Vermont to cover a new feature story, Rider and Drew reach a professional agreement that seems to work for them. However, a young man named Sandler changes the dynamics, and an established gay couple getting legally married change their lives forever. Through pain there is growth; through heartbreak there is love. And absolutely nothing is ever the same again.
