Pacific Nights

Résumé

On a deserted island in the Pacific, surrounded by the enemy, two very different men learn to rely on each other for survival. Mike is an uneducated rascal, one step ahead of prison and a court-martial. He's given one chance to redeem himself: if he wants to stay out of jail, he has to keep Professor James Hardmore alive. No matter what.

James is everything Mike isn't--suave, educated, intellectual, and rich. He's also a conscientious objector and he's made a deal with the army--three months on the island breaking codes as long as he doesn't have to kill anyone.

Mike is Catholic, the son of immigrants, and has never acted on his desires. James is Jewish, the son of Boston society, and experienced in love between men. During their hazardous stay on the island, they teach each other about life, friendship, and survival. With only them to say what's right and wrong, the men make a deal: Mike must give himself to James for one day, submit to him completely, and James will allow Mike to take him whenever Mike wants to slake his sexual needs.

But once the war is over, can they keep the promises made on those hot Pacific nights and find one place both of them can call home?
