A White Coat Is My Closet (Paperback)

Zack Sheldon doesn t have time to be lonely. He s in his last year as a pediatric resident, almost married to the job, and busy with the joys and sorrows that come with providing medical care to children. Professionally, he s confident, accomplished, and respected. But personally he s too insecure to approach a sexy man like Sergio Quartulli, or even to imagine that Sergio might be attracted to him. Zack spots Sergio from across the gym, and then a chance meeting poolside somehow turns into a date. Before Zack knows it, they ve become a couple, but Zack s white coat is his closet at the hospital, and committing to a relationship with Sergio makes it difficult for Zack to continue hiding behind it. On the other hand, he grew up in a small town where being gay was shameful, and he works in an environment that can sometimes be homophobic, so it s hard for him to open up about who he really is. Before Zack can make a choice on his own terms, circumstances force him to make a decision. He can continue to hide, or he can step out from behind his white coat and risk everything for love.
