A London Lads StoryA secret affair can't go on forever. Dylan Philips admits it himself: he's a relentlessly single man in a small suburban town, both proud of and resigned to being a good teacher and a devoted nephew to his mischievous great-aunts.When the aunts take a hand in matchmaking him with Josie Whitman, the girl who lives along the street, Dylan doesn't tell them what kind of soul mate he's really looking for-and the fact that he's already found the man in question. It's not Josie who's travelling from London every month to her town property, but her journalist brother Neal. And Dylan meets up with Neal whenever he can.But decisions must be made for their future. Dylan is risk-averse to everything from overseas travel to coming out, whereas Neal embraces adventure-and now he wants to take Dylan with him.Horrified that his chance at love will move even further out of his reach, Dylan realises it's time for him to own up to what kind of man he really is. He needs to find courage and compromise. And who knows whether the great-aunts will be a help or a hindrance with that?
