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.

“Hang on, don’t get out yet.” Christopher yanked his keys out of the ignition and got out, jogging around the front of the car to Gage’s door. He opened and held it wide. “Keep the pressure on your arm. I’ll get all the doors.”


“You weren’t kidding when said you lived near the beach,” Gage commented as he followed. Christopher took him through the side entrance that opened directly to his apartment. “Wow. This place is…really nice.”
