Troubled Waters Jerry Cole

Darren Davis is an heir to a vast fortune. But he lives a quiet, secluded life teaching at a small college in upstate New York, where he helps raise his gifted son in collaboration with his divorced wife. Young, alone, and gay, he is uncertain where his life is leading-until he decides to start a new non-profit dedicated to helping develop clean, reliable water sources in third-world countries. Darren's plans for a well-ordered life go awry when he meets the very talented, up-and-coming young Greek singer, Ness, on a sailing vacation in Greece. Their initial whirlwind encounter sends them both spiraling off in different directions. Ness goes on to become an extremely successful international singing sensation, while Darren creates his new organization. While both are caught up in their dedicated lives, they long to be together. Able to meet only tangentially, they struggle to find a way to overcome their separation. But Darren gets caught up defending the new non-profit from an attempt to exploit, rather than help, water-starved populations, and Ness, growing ever more successful during a world tour, must begin to question what is most important to him, as he tries to balance career, family, and love. As the tension rises between them, each must face the difficult decisions which will forever determine their happiness and the course of their lives.
