About this ebook
Summer is the start of the busy season for Neptune's Pool Service, owned by Pete Crawford. A new client, Corey Brennerman, captures Pete’s interest, if only because he seems attached to his cell phone 24/7. Corey is a serious workaholic. Pete remembers when he used to be like that, and he wishes he could do something about it.
Pete comes to Corey’s aid in a grocery store parking lot one evening and helps him catch the punk who tries to steal his cell phone. As a result, their relationship moves from that of client/hired help to cautious friends. When a Fourth of July party leads to a tryst, Pete is running scared because he thinks Corey is too stressed and vulnerable to handle anything serious right now. But Corey confronts him, and they work things out -- in the pool, naturally.
A death in the family brings them even closer together. Can Corey make some positive changes in his life? Could the relationship they’ve begun to build become something that might last forever?

Wading in Neptune’s Pool
By J.D. Walker
It was hot already, and June had just begun. The beginning of the summer months always felt like this. The air in my truck was way up, in a vain attempt to cool me down a little before meeting with a potential client. At least I wasn’t too sweaty.
The house in front of me was modest compared to the others in the cul-de-sac. The yard on either side was shielded all around by a tall wooden fence. A silver Jaguar was parked at the curb. After turning off the engine, I got out of my truck and walked up to the front door. Before I could ring the bell, it opened.
Pete Crawford?
the man at the door asked. He looked a little stressed.
Yes. Corey Brennerman, I assume?
That’s right. Follow me, please.
He closed the door quickly and led the way through the living room into the kitchen, stopping only to open the patio door. He stepped out onto the deck, and I came face-to-pool with my reason for being here.
Dear God.
When was the last time you cleaned this thing?
I asked, staring down in horror at the leaves and algae that had taken up residence in the water. It wouldn’t have surprised me to see frogs chirping away on lily pads.
Never. I bought this place a couple of months ago and just got too busy to do anything about it.
