For years, Nolan Young has tried to deny he’s gay. With an abusive, homophobic father, who is also the mayor of Sutter’s Bay, Nolan has no choice but to ignore that part of himself. Until he meets Leo Winthrop on the beach one day. Leo is exactly the kind of guy Nolan would want ... if he could allow himself to act on his desires. Leo has been dealing with demons of his own. His older brother brought him to Sutter’s Bay hoping it’d help Leo put his past behind him. The quaint town hasn’t been much help ... until now. Meeting cute and innocent Nolan changes Leo’s outlook and brings hope to his life for the first time in years. But can he convince Nolan to stand up to his father and take a chance on forever with him?

Finding Forever

“Wow, I’m really surprised to see you here,” Leo said. He glanced at Nolan’s beer. Then his gaze rose to meet Nolan’s. “What—”


Nolan leaned forward and pressed his lips to Leo’s before he lost his nerve. Leo jumped a little, obviously startled by the bold move, but he didn’t move away. In fact, his hands moved around Nolan to curve over Nolan’s ass and bring their bodies closer. And then Leo took over the kiss, becoming the aggressor as his tongue pushed into Nolan’s mouth


More than a couple of times Nolan had kissed his high school girlfriend. He’d thought kissing pleasant enough. Even with a girl he had no real desire to sleep with. But it had never been like this. Never been so…erotic. He whimpered in the back of his throat and tried to climb Leo.


Leo broke the kiss, shaking his head. “We’re going to get kicked out if you keep that up.”
