Brian: Taking Courage 1. Parborough Chronicles
About to return home after five years working in the Middle East, former soldier Brian has an unreliable ex-girlfriend, a teenage son and a dead-end job to look forward to. Can he take courage, leap into the unknown and accept that his mate Gordon is far more than a friend with benefits.
The story takes place in the English East-Midlands and some of the language might be rather idiomatic.
