Need Your Love
Dean Pace-Frech
Release date: November 29, 2015
Blurb:
In June, 1966, ACLU attorney Eron Lassiter
attends his uncle’s wedding, and makes an unsettling discovery. Though he’d
bowed to family pressure and has a potential marriage planned, his long-ignored
attraction to other men roars to life when Garrett Emerson, the bride’s nephew,
captures his attention.
After serving in the Korean War and going to
college later than his peers, upwardly mobile Garrett is a loan officer at a
local bank. For his girlfriend, fiancé in her mind, he can’t climb fast enough.
But none of that matters to Eron, and maybe that’s why Garrett’s so drawn to
him.
Can Eron and Garrett find happiness amidst
the still pervasive culture of propriety, honor, and expectation in the 1960s?

Excerpt:
They finished the drive back to the
apartment in silence. Eron’s sincerity had shone through when he spoke of what
they had done and his lack of regret. Eron’s words eased the tension between
them. At the flea market, with other people around, they had no trouble
carrying on a conversation.
Garrett pulled into his parking spot and
nodded toward his apartment as they got out of the car. Once inside, Eron
lowered himself to the davenport and Garrett plopped down next to him.
“I’ve been a jerk,” Eron said.
“We’re both confused. Don’t be so hard on
yourself. It doesn’t help that we both have girlfriends and family that only
want what they think is the best for us.”
“Do you and Johnette…you know…”
“Have sex? No. I used to tell myself it was
because she was a respectable girl and we should wait.”
“And now?”
“Come on, you know the answer to that. What
about you and Mary Ellen?”
“Same situation.”
“Eron, why did you come see me today?”
Eron had struggled with the same question.
“As much as I don’t want to be queer, I want to be with you.”
“I understand that,” Garrett said after a
while. “I don’t identify with the queens that live in the city.”
“What about our jobs? Our family?”
“Could we make it work?”
“I have no idea. Honestly I don’t. I’ve
spent hours plotting and examining every angle and I’m more confused than I was
to start. I walled up any feelings I had about other men a long time ago, but
you brought them to the surface.”
