Antique dealer Christopher Gleason isn't looking for love. He isn't even looking for a one-night stand. But when a young man with an innocent smile offers to buy him a drink one night, he accepts. He's even tempted to take it further, until he learns the innocence isn't an act. Though he can't deny his attraction, or the fact that he likes the young man quite a bit, Christopher puts him off. He'd rather be friends than risk hurting him.<br><br>Gage Kimball fled Salt Lake City for Los Angeles with his guitars, what little money he had, and no friends. Raised in a devout Mormon family within a tightly knit community, he's never had the chance to be himself or explore his sexuality. Until now. Christopher supplies the emotional support Gage needs, but Gage wants more than friendship. Even at the risk of everything he has left.

All That You Do

Gage collapsed to the bed without bothering to undress, playing the night over and over in his mind. Trying to point to the moment he’d fucked everything up. He knew his inexperience could be a turn off, but he didn’t expect it to send Christopher running as fast as he could in the opposite direction. After years of guilt and self-inflicted punishment and hiding, he thought it would be easier in LA.


Maybe everybody back at home was right. Maybe there really was something wrong with him. Something that needed to be cured. Or some demon that needed to be cast out.
