Jake isn’t about to let this opportunity pass him by
especially when Quentin is scheduled to leave for the East coast in a few short
summer months. Willing to keep Quentin’s secret from his upper crust
politically-fueled homophobic family, Jake shares his bed and eventually his
heart.
Quentin’s life in the closet is non-negotiable. His
family has strong political ties and any word about their son’s sexuality would
cast him out of the family and out of his inheritance which he desperately
needs to finish his education. He’s been successful keeping his sexuality a
secret for years until he meets the irresistibly adorable Jake at an early graduation
party.
Quentin is unable to ignore his desire for Jake and
makes the life-altering leap that holds his future in the balance. Locked away
from the public eye, the two men admit their love for one another. In three
short months, they will be forced to part ways for graduate school but the
challenges of potential scrutiny, family commitment and an un-promised future
may prove to be more than they can overcome.

Excerpt:
“Cora?
He’s really gone, isn’t he?”
“You
did what you had to do to save both your life and his career. You didn’t do a
goddamned thing wrong, you hear me? You are one of the bravest men I know,” she
growled.
“Yeah,
right. I’m the gayest man you know.”
“You
shut the fuck up right now, Jake. I don’t let anyone bad-mouth you around me
and that includes you. It takes a real man to stand up for who he truly is on
the inside. The easy way out would be to hide who you are and live in the
closet for fear of what the world will say or do to you.”
“Now
that’s not fair,” I argued immediately, thinking of Quentin’s situation.
“And
for what? Admitting that you want to love another man? It’s a beautiful
romantic notion, Jake. You throw yourself bare to the world for love, the
noblest feeling in the world, and all you expect in return is someone to return
the feeling. And what does that rat bastard do? He shows you what it feels like
to be loved, only there was a condition on it, wasn’t there? As long as he could
hide you from the world and not be proud of the honest, kind and decent man
that you are. He should have been yelling your name from the mountains or
something. Instead? Instead, he runs and hides so he can save his face from his
family.”

A note from the Author...
Thanks so much
for having me today. I’ve been in the M/M genre for a couple of years now and
started out with a paranormal novel about a pansexual vampire with amnesia. I
followed that with a series of wolf shifter short stories and now I’m following
it up with my new contemporary novel. This story is a sweet college crush that
grows into a summer love but there’s a lot of turmoil in their lives. So many
secrets surround them, both their own and those of others, that threaten to
upend their love and in the end they must choose to let go and be honest with
themselves before they can have that happy ever after.
