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

“How about we try someplace new?” he said. “Is there any place you’ve wanted to go to that you haven’t had a chance to yet?”


“Actually, I’d like to try something outside the neighborhood. Preferably somewhere with really great fries and good, thick shakes.”


He smiled. “I know the perfect place.”


Leading the way out of the bar, Christopher felt lighter than he had, even when he’d arrived, his smile lingering when Gage fell into step beside him. He caught Gage humming under his breath, though he regretted it stopped once they were safely ensconced in the front seat.


“Have you had a chance to get to Pasadena yet?” he asked, once they were on the road. “That’s where we’re going. It’s called the Burger Continental.”


“I drove through it once. The burgers must be really great to go that far out of your way.”
