It takes a brave man to climb a mountain, but it takes a braver lad to show him the way. Following the death of his lover, mountaineer John Hamilton lives an isolated existence high on wild Fellborough peak. When he rescues 19-year-old Gary Taylor from the mountain, John can't accept that the boy may be the answer to his heartache. Gary is seventeen years his junior, confused, and being pursued by criminals. As Gary helps John through his grief, the older man mentors the lad through his coming out. Both paths could lead to love, but are they both heading for the same destination? The Mentor of Barrenmoor Ridge is the second in Jackson Marsh's 'The Mentor' series of standalone older/younger gay romance novels. It is a separate story to 'The Mentor of Wildhill Farm' which you might also enjoy.
