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

“I’m taking care of that after the show,” Christopher said, before Gage could respond. He eased into the space next to him and pushed two twenties across the bar. “Can you send another round of drinks to the group of four tables at the front, please?”


“Sure thing.” Julio pushed the money in his apron and moved to the other side of the bar.


“That’s quite the cheering section you brought,” Gage said.


The tone was cordial, friendly even. It gave Christopher hope he could salvage the younger man’s friendship after all. “That’s what you wanted, so that’s what I got you.”


He glanced over his shoulder at the large party. “Are they liking the show?”


“They’re loving it. Almost as much as I am.” He waited for Gage to shift back to him and smiled. “This was a lot better than listening to an MP3. Thank you for letting me know about it.”
