Rex Payton is a twenty-eight year old bar owner in small-town Garrison, Kentucky. For six years he’s remained focused, working long hours to keep his late father’s business afloat while at the same time raising his nephew Tyler. After the tragic loss of his parents and sister, Rex has no interest in romance. He’s respected in his community and regarded as one of the town’s most eligible bachelors, but he’s accepted the fact that being a single father and the owner of a small-town business are not conducive with a romantic relationship.
Josh Billings is twenty-two, a veterinary student in his final year. His love of animals is his deepest passion, and when he takes an internship at the animal clinic in Garrison, romance is the furthest thing from his mind. Rex and Josh meet accidentally one night at the bar. Josh carelessly leaves his cell phone and returns after-hours to retrieve it. The empty bar and the woeful strains of a heartfelt ballad on the jukebox provide the setting for the most romantic encounter either has ever experienced. They find themselves on the dance floor, clinging to one another and ultimately sharing a most memorable kiss.
So begins their dance, but will Rex be able to open his heart to the one who swept him off his feet? Will Josh be able to cope with the fact that Rex has a six-year-old son, and will little Ty be able to share the affections of his Daddy? Rural Kentucky isn’t the most gay friendly environment, especially not when there’s a child involved.
