Bayne

As promised - here is the first of three character introductions. This is Bayne - Samuel Bayne. He's not our main character, but my "trusted-reader" has informed me that he is quite "love" worthy!

Samuel Bayne is 35 when we meet him. In the first half of the story we find out that he is very much a gay-Richard-Gere from Pretty Woman. He is smooth, suave, and sexy as hell. He is gay and very comfortable with that fact. He has many regrets in his life, but his sexuality is not one of those. He finds himself quite taken by one of the junior-architects, John, of the team that is working on his latest mega-property. While his name is Samuel, he prefers just Bayne, as he should - it's a bit of a paradox, just like the man himself. He turns 36 shortly into the story, but for reasons that you will learn later - we miss this. Bayne, while trying to help John come to terms in his life, will face a number of personal demons that he'd tamped down early on in his life. Bayne will find himself, for the first time since having left California, in a position of vulnerability. The epitome of control, Bayne will win you from the moment that he steps into the spotlight.
