Find & Keep by K. Sterling

Aiden and Lane return with Lavender and Sage in another Boys Of Lake Cliff book.

A baby can cause quite a stir in a town like Lake Cliff. Sometimes, in ways you wouldn’t expect. Mr. Lavender reminds us that he’ll only be predictable when it suits him and changing one’s stripes can be tricky. Big changes are coming to Lake Cliff and a baby’s just the beginning.

“He fell asleep on the way over, so we kept this down so he wouldn’t wake up,” Kay whispered as she pushed the hood back and Lavender could feel Sage’s chest lock as they stood next to each other, his tightened as well as he held his breath and leaned so he could see into the stroller. Lavender’s nose began to tingle and burn as a head full of golden curls caused his heart to flutter. He was in awe of Robin’s cheeks, they were so full and looked so soft. And how could a nose be so tiny and perfect? He was dressed in a rather dapper navy and white striped knit jumper and Lavender’s head tilted as Robin waved his tiny fist and yawned. His eyes opened and they were the softest green and Lavender knew him. His eyes began to blur again and he sniffed hard to clear them then nodded as he stared down at Robin.

“I think he’s more of an Aston Martin sort of fellow, don’t you?” He asked as he looked back at Sage. He was just as dazed as Lavender.
“What?” He laughed.
“I don’t think the Bentley would do,” Lavender decided and Sage shook his head slowly. The Breckmans looked completely baffled.
“I really don’t think he cares,” Sage said and Lavender waved dismissively.
“You wouldn’t understand,” he said as he smiled at Robin. He would, one day. Lavender knew because he could see it in his eyes. They were so much like Sage’s but there was a spark of something clever and quick. Lavender saw it and he felt it. And Lavender loved him.
