What do you do when you're a popular porn star and the love of your life is deeply religious and totally closeted? Why, you keep your true identity from him, create an alternate reality, and hope he doesn't find out, of course. Because, if he ever does, that would be the deal breaker. That was Jordan Hearst's reasoning, anyway. However, despite Jordan's best efforts at keeping his charade a secret, Spenser Hudson does find out. Having a liar and a porn star as a boyfriend is a deal breaker as far as the devastated Spenser is concerned. Fearing the loss of both his job and his family, Spenser abruptly disappears from Jordan's life, castigating himself for ever letting his carnal desires override his faith, thus allowing him to fall in love with the handsome, charming Jordan. With all attempts at reconciliation rebuffed, Jordan tries to move on, but the love he feels for Spenser won't go away, making it impossible for him to return to his job of having meaningless sex in front of the cameras. Spenser is given a different perspective on his and Jordan's situation from an unlikely source. Can the love he still feels for Jordan be the key to rekindling what they once shared? Is it enough to make Spenser see there's more than one way to look at the deal life has given him? Can a new deal to be struck?

The Deal Breaker

Spenser laughed. “The now we live in can’t be dragged back to the past. If we stay here it will be. We need to be where it doesn’t matter to anyone who we were, and where we’re accepted for who we are now. To do that, we need to go somewhere where no one knows us, where we can start fresh, just two men who’re in love and not be judged for that. You won’t be the former porn star. I won’t be the overly religious, uptight Christian. We’ll just be Spenser and Jordan, a really hot, cool, gay couple—no baggage, no past. That can’t happen here where there are so many who know me, and we can run into them all the time.”


“You’ll walk away from your family, your job, your faith?”
