My Baby Chased Away the Blues - E-book - ePub

It's 1925 in Los Angeles, and motor patrol officer Del Randolph keeps making one mistake after another. Struggling to keep his job with the Los Angeles Police Department, Del is also lonely and heartbroken after his last lover left him. But then he meets Ev, a gentle but cynical invert, and has his heart stolen again. Del knows he's no great catch-he isn't smart or particularly handsome or rich-but he's determined to show Ev how much he loves him.
Unfortunately, his misguided attempts at winning Ev's affections might end up destroying their relationship instead. Del joins a hapless gang of bootleggers to try to make some money but quickly winds up in trouble. Soon he's in debt, breaking the law, and lying to Ev about all of it.
