Blurb:
Jonas needs Tate. He just doesn’t know it yet.
Or at least, he doesn't want to admit it.
Because there is no way Jonas Ashcroft is gay. He’s a straight, carefree frat
boy player, just like any good son of a conservative state senator. If only his
struggle to convince everyone—especially himself—didn’t leave him so miserable.
No matter how many girls or bottles he drowns himself in, Jonas can neither
escape nor accept who he is.
Enter Tate. He’s smart, confident, and
instantly sees right through Jonas’s surly exterior. Sure, he’s done things in
life he’s not proud of, but he knows who he is and what he wants. And what he
wants is Jonas. As their easy friendship intensifies into something more, Tate
introduces Jonas to a life he’s never known. One filled with acceptance and sex
and a love that terrifies and excites them both.
But some inner demons refuse to be shaken
off so easily. When Jonas’s old life barges in, he faces a shattering choice,
one that could destroy everything he and Tate have fought so hard for.
Sometimes love just isn’t enough—and sometimes it’s exactly what you need.

Excerpt:
“It’s small,” Jonas said.
“Better than a cardboard box or foster
care.” The sharpness in Tate’s voice echoed in his frown.
Jonas had never known anyone before who’d
been in foster care, and saying so would probably make him the biggest douche
on the planet. It also took the edge off some of his irritation over the total
mindfuck that was Tate Dawson. “It’s way better than both of those things. You
worked hard for this place, Tate. I haven’t worked hard for anything in my
life.”
“I disagree.”
He blinked. “You do?”
“Yes, I do. I think you work very, very hard
to convince yourself and the world that you’re something you’re not. I think
you work very, very hard to be perfect when no one is, and the only thing
anyone should ever do is just be her or himself. Be true to you, not to what
others want from you.”
Jonas’s throat squeezed tight. “I can’t.”
Tate took a step closer, bringing a gentle
waft of sweat and something sweet. “Why not?”
He saw the barest reflection of himself in
Tate’s glasses and he didn’t like it. He stepped back. Tate snagged his wrist
and held him there. The touch sent awareness buzzing across his skin, down his
spine and straight to his balls. H needed to pull away before this got out of
control.
And then his rebel brain decided it was a
good idea to glance at Tate’s pink lips. Lips that Tate, the asshole, licked
with slow swipes of his tongue.
Jonas yanked away his hand away so hard Tate
stumbled. “I’m not gay, so you can get that ‘fuck the frat boy’ fantasy out of
your head right now.”
Instead of being cowed, Tate planted both
hands on his hips and said, “Who are you trying to convince? Because it’s just
you and me in this room, and I’m not the one who brought up your sexuality. You
did.”
Damn him. “Why won’t you leave me alone?”
Tate’s gaze drifted over his face as he
sought for words. “Because every time we’re together I can tell you’re
struggling with something. You put up this lone wolf front to keep people at
arm’s length so you don’t have to work so hard to pretend, but it’s exhausting
you. Jonas, you can be yourself with me. Whoever that is.”
“I can’t.” Talking was getting harder around
the lump in his throat. His heart was kicking too fast and his chest ached.
“Look me in the eye.” Tate closed the three
strides between them, then curled a warm hand around the back of Jonas’s neck.
“Look me in the eye and say you don’t want to kiss me right now.”

It’s all about the author…
A.M. Arthur was born and raised in the same
kind of small town that she likes to write about, a stone's throw from both
beach resorts and generational farmland.
She's been creating stories in her head since she was a child and
scribbling them down nearly as long, in a losing battle to make the fictional
voices stop. She credits an early
fascination with male friendships (bromance hadn't been coined yet back then)
with her later discovery of and subsequent love affair with m/m romance
stories. A.M. Arthur's work is available from Samhain Publishing, Carina Press,
Dreamspinner Press, and SMP Swerve.
When
not exorcising the voices in her head, she toils away in a retail job that
tests her patience and gives her lots of story fodder. She can also be found in her kitchen,
pretending she's an amateur chef and trying to not poison herself or others
with her cuisine experiments.
…and stalking them :)
