Blue Steel Chain — Alex Beecroft

Local archaeologist James Huntley is in a failing long-distance relationship with a rock star, and Aidan -- nervous, bruised, and clearly in need of a champion -- brings out all his white knight tendencies. When everything falls apart for Aidan, James saves him from certain death . . . and discovers a skeleton of another boy who wasn't so lucky.

As Aidan recovers, James falls desperately in love. But though Aidan acts like an adoring boyfriend, he doesn't seem to feel any sexual attraction at all. Meanwhile there are two angry exes on the horizon, one coming after them with the press and the other with a butcher's knife. To be together, Aidan and James must conquer death, sex, and everyone's preconceptions about the right way to love -- even their own.
