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.

The smile faltered but didn’t completely disappear. “I needed to get out. I get claustrophobic in that room. What are you doing here? Did you come in for a drink?”


“This place always makes me think of you.” Which was both true, and sidestepped the question of his obvious arrival. Hopefully.


Gage leaned so far forward he would have tumbled off the stool if Christopher hadn’t grabbed his shoulder. “You’re thinking about me?”
