Blurb:
Jake has been hiding in plain sight, always
a few rows behind his straight-crush Quentin during their four years of
college. He’s been successful so far but just as they’re about to graduate,
Quentin finds out Jake’s secret and Quentin shares one of his own. He’s in the
closet.
Jake isn’t about to let this opportunity
pass him by especially when Quentin is scheduled to leave for the East coast in
a few short summer months. Willing to keep Quentin’s secret from his upper
crust politically-fueled homophobic family, Jake shares his bed and eventually
his heart.
Quentin’s life in the closet is
non-negotiable. His family has strong political ties and any word about their
son’s sexuality would cast him out of the family and out of his inheritance
which he desperately needs to finish his education. He’s been successful
keeping his sexuality a secret for years until he meets the irresistibly
adorable Jake at an early graduation party.
Quentin is unable to ignore his desire for
Jake and makes the life-altering leap that holds his future in the balance.
Locked away from the public eye, the two men admit their love for one another.
In three short months, they will be forced to part ways for graduate school but
the challenges of potential scrutiny, family commitment and an un-promised
future may prove to be more than they can overcome.

Excerpt:
“Cora? He’s really gone, isn’t he?”
“You did what you had to do to save both
your life and his career. You didn’t do a goddamned thing wrong, you hear me?
You are one of the bravest men I know,” she growled.
“Yeah, right. I’m the gayest man you know.”
“You shut the fuck up right now, Jake. I
don’t let anyone bad-mouth you around me and that includes you. It takes a real
man to stand up for who he truly is on the inside. The easy way out would be to
hide who you are and live in the closet for fear of what the world will say or
do to you.”
“Now that’s not fair,” I argued immediately,
thinking of Quentin’s situation.
“And for what? Admitting that you want to
love another man? It’s a beautiful romantic notion, Jake. You throw yourself
bare to the world for love, the noblest feeling in the world, and all you
expect in return is someone to return the feeling. And what does that rat
bastard do? He shows you what it feels like to be loved, only there was a
condition on it, wasn’t there? As long as he could hide you from the world and
not be proud of the honest, kind and decent man that you are. He should have
been yelling your name from the mountains or something. Instead? Instead, he
runs and hides so he can save his face from his family.”

It’s all about the author…
Tina is a retired Air Force brat and has
lived in several states as well as a handful of countries. She has always had a
soft spot for literature and is a voracious reader. When she isn't writing, she
can be found cuddled up with a good book. Though Tina adores a thrilling novel
with sappy lovesick heroes, she is terrified of things that go bump in the
night. This makes for quite a complicated relationship with zombies, something
that she just can't get enough of.
…and stalking them :)
