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 wish I could say you don’t have to worry about that.” He had to struggle with his breath to keep his voice even. “But some people are always going to disappoint you, and hurt you, no matter how much you might love them.”


“So why bother with anybody? Maybe I shouldn’t be so frightened of being alone. Maybe I should just embrace it now. Then I won’t have to worry about disappointing them, either.”


“No.” His hand stopped at the back of Gage’s neck, firm enough for Gage to glance up at him. “No.I said some people. I don’t think you could ever be that person.”


“You don’t know that. I’ve certainly disappointed my family.”


“Because they can’t get past their religion to see the amazing young man they raised. That’s a different kind of disappointment. You can’t do anything about that except hope that someday they decide to open their eyes.”
