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

“You’re very…serious minded, aren’t you?”


“You make that sound as bad as a root canal.”


“It makes me wonder when you ever have any fun.”


“Why? I’ve had fun today. Well, before you got hurt. And your opening night was the highlight of my week.”


Gage snorted. “That’s not the kind of fun I meant.”


“What kind of fun are you talking about, then?”


He almost answered before realizing he didn’t want to know about Christopher’s sex life. Not really. “Never mind.”


“No, not never mind.” The tension had returned in Christopher’s jaw, though now he looked annoyed more than anything else. “Look, I realize there’s a reason I’m the designated driver, and Rev’s go to man, and whatever else Bodie has decided to call me. But just because I refuse to flake out on the people who matter to me, does not mean I don’t know how to have a good time. I was at Power, wasn’t I? And we had fun, don’t you dare try to deny it.”
