«Unexpected Love» by Daniel Blue

Luke meets Ryno at the swimming pool on the research station in South Africa where he works. This handsome blonde man is just the most laidback bisexual that Luke had ever met and, as he came to South Africa from Toronto to get away from a failed romance, Luke is keen to resist Ryno's abundant charms.

However, one thing leads to another and they tumble into bed. Two days later Luke realizes that he is in love and he is astonished to find that Ryno feels the same way about him. As the two men plan how to be together it looks like fate is conspiring to keep them apart. Luke discovers that he would have to make a fresh application for a work permit before he can take up the new job he has been offered at the same lodge where Ryno will be working. Also, there are complications in that Ryno's brother, Kees, who happens to be Luke's work colleague, seems to have, as yet unreciprocated, feelings for Luke.

Will the two men find a way to be together or will distance tear them apart?
