Jason Monroe has to leave school to be the guardian of his sister Kitty when his dad and step-mom die in a car crash. He's working two jobs to keep them afloat, but their boat is leaking, much like the roof of their old house. Jason doesn't have time for love that is until Zach Montgomery, the owner of the Asbury Park Sunset Club, the premier gay bar and dance club on the Jersey Shore comes calling.<br><br>Jason's priorities are non-negotiable: take care of his sister; keep a roof over their heads; go back to school eventually. Can one club owner make it easier to uphold his priorities and maybe add him to the list?

You in My Arms

I hope I’m not showing my hand too soon but damn it, he needs my help now and if he gets that mortgage, he’ll worry himself to death. The roof is the last straw. I can’t be in love with him and not help. Did I just use the “L” word? I guess I did. I’ve been thinking it, just too scared to say it out loud.


Jason looked at him strangely but followed him into the back office. “I remember getting the T-shirts here the night we met.”


“Yeah, I remember it, too. Back then I wouldn’t have said what I’m about to say now. I didn’t know you then. We started out on the wrong foot and I’ve been trying to convince you that I’m a stand-up guy since the first Sunday we went out with Kitty and Bobby.” Jason had a wide-eyed look on his face. Zach knew he had no idea what was coming.
