      About This Book

      Patrick O'Neil is a travel agent who never goes anywhere. His closest
      confidante, Sharon, is chain-smoking her way to singles hell, passing up man
      after man. His parents, proprietors of a suburban men's store whose fortunes
      are sagging more visibly than its customers, can't agree how best to interfere
      in their sons' lives. And his lover, Arthur (a nice golden retriever of a guy
      to whom Patrick can't quite commit), wants to cement their relationship
      by buying a house.

      Then a call comes in the middle of another sleepless night. Tony, Patrick's
      straight-as-an-arrow younger brother, has fallen in love with a beautiful
      lawyer who is turning him on to...opera. Unfortunately, she's not the woman he's already pledged to marry. Tony's life is a mess. Finally, the brothers have something in common.
