ISBN: 978-1-77233-467-8
Having just lost his mother to cancer, eighteen year old, Blueford βBlueβ Mason returned to their hometown of Danville, Texas to live with his reticent grandmother, Alma. The two struggle to bond while Blue undergoes a metamorphosis into manhood, discovering new things about himself, his sexuality, life, love and even heartbreak.
After leaving his former fire department due to intolerance of his sexuality, twenty-three year old, Jack West moved to Danville to work as an EMT for his uncleβs small fire department. Heβd resigned himself to living a quiet life alone until Blue came along and turned his world upside-down.
Will the young lovers find acceptance in Danville or will shameful secrets from the distant past set this town ablaze when the people around them are forced to face their own shortcomings?
Heavenβs just a sin away for everyone, especially when every sin is created equally.
Excerpt:
Blue drew in a deep breath and gripped the strong hand holding his. He peered into Jackβs dark brown eyes as they darted back and forth.
βFuck.β Jack stepped back and shook his head. βIβm sorry. I donβt knowββ
βDonβt know what?β Blue had to know. He had to hear the rest of the sentence. If he didnβt, he was certain he would explode.
βI donβt know what I was thinking just then.β Jack gestured to the space between them now. βI didnβt mean to cross any lines, man.β
Blue shook his head. βYou didnβt.β He really hadnβt. In fact, Jack hadnβt even come close to crossing lines. Not like Blue wanted him to, anyway.
βOh, shit!β Jack charged past Blue and reached for the now crackling frying pan with the steaks. Smoke and steam billowed from the top. βDamn. I think I burned them.β He set the pan aside and examined the steaks by lifting the edge of one with a fork. βCrap. There went dinner.β
Blue laughed. βYou can save babies from burning cars, but you canβt cook up a couple of steaks?β
βHey, I was dealing with an emergency. You nearly cut your finger off.β
They both laughed as Blue glanced down at his finger. βItβs not even bleeding anymore.β As their laughter quieted, Blue couldnβt help himself. He had to say something. βYouβre not, you know.β
Jackβs brows pinched with apparent confusion. βNot what?β
Blue swallowed hard, his knees trembling so badly he wasnβt sure how heβd managed to remain standing. βYouβre not crossing lines.β
Jack ran a shaky hand through his thick, dark locks. βBlue.β
βIβm an adult.β
βI know.β His Adamβs apple worked up and down as his gaze dropped from Blueβs eyes to his mouth.
βJust because Iβm younger than you, doesnβt mean Iβm too young.β It wasnβt everything heβd wanted to say, but it was good start.
Jackβs gaze felt heavier somehow, like the thoughts behind his gorgeous eyes were at odds. βI donβt know if…β
A million words could have ended the sentence, but nothing Jack said would have changed the way Blue felt. Right now, he only wanted to feel Jackβs lips. Taste him. Touch him. The way heβd done in every dream heβd had since he first met him.
βNothing you say can change this.β
βLook, Blue.β Jack stepped closer. βIβve had a rough year, and I donβt want my baggage to spill onto you.β
Blue scoffed, trying to thwart the ball of air stuck in the back of his throat threatening to strangle him. βYouβve had a rough year?β
Was it petty to compare? He instantly regretted the snide, selfish comment.
Jackβs eyes widened. βShit, Blue. I didnβt mean it like that.β
βNah, man. Itβs okay.β
βNo.β Jack placed his hand on Blueβs shoulder and gave him a gentle squeeze. βItβs not.β
The second Jack looked him in the eye, Blue knew. He knew beyond a shadow of a doubt that if he didnβt make a move, he might never have the courage again.
Blue rushed toward him and instantly captured Jackβs bottom lip between his own lips and teeth.
Much to Blueβs relief, Jack didnβt pull away. Instead, he pinned Blue against the counter, huffing hot breaths as he pried Blueβs lips apart and slipped his tongue inside.
Blue sucked him in deeper, swirling his tongue around Jackβs. His body trembled, and Jack hugged him close, their mouths still fused together, kissing, suckling, tasting.
Their teeth clanked between kisses, and a wave of energy Blue only experienced when he jerked off, surged through him. Holy fuck! Had he busted a nut already? He pushed the mortifying thought out of his head and eagerly followed as Jack guided them toward the sofa.
Jack laid Blue back onto the cushions and gazed down at him with a hungry look in his eyes. Between laboring breaths, Jack whispered, βJesus, Blue. What the hell have you done?β
