Beached Hearts

Seven years after an unhappy affair with a marine biologist, Conor Kelly finds lightning strikes twice. A US film crew arrives in the picturesque seaside town of Kinroe, West Ireland to record the autopsy of a beached whale. As local chief of police, Conor is angry at the desecration of wildlife and the interruption to his secluded life. But head of the project, marine biologist Eli Sanders, makes his admiration plain. Conor tries to ignore his attentions. He nearly lost his family to his first homosexual experience and isn't willing to risk it all again, no matter how much Eli has captured his imagination. But Eli enchants him, seduces him and soon Conor can't keep his mind on the job...
