The Road to Dunbar

Neil Pennington's life was quiet, predictable and, if he was honest, occasionally dull. Then his landlady decided to sell the house he'd called home for ten years.

Meeting Scott was never part of the plan. Nor was moving into his spare room, or discovering that friendship can quietly become something more. So how did he end up spending Christmas four hundred miles north, in a small Scottish town by the sea?

And then there was Max.

A contemporary gay love story of new beginnings, set against the backdrop of everyday life.

And then there was Max.

A Jack Russell with strong opinions about people. Max had decided that Neil was his new favourite person — and Max, it turned out, was very hard to argue with.
