Having just lost his mother to cancer, eighteen year old, Blueford โBlueโ 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 uncleโs small fire department. Heโd 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?
Heavenโs 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 Jackโs dark brown eyes as they darted back and forth.
โFuck.โ Jack stepped back and shook his head. โIโm sorry. I donโt knowโโ
โDonโt know what?โ Blue had to know. He had to hear the rest of the sentence. If he didnโt, he was certain he would explode.
โI donโt know what I was thinking just then.โ Jack gestured to the space between them now. โI didnโt mean to cross any lines, man.โ
Blue shook his head. โYou didnโt.โ He really hadnโt. In fact, Jack hadnโt even come close to crossing lines. Not like Blue wanted him to, anyway.
โOh, shit!โ Jack charged past Blue and reached for the now crackling frying pan with the steaks. Smoke and steam billowed from the top. โDamn. I think I burned them.โ He set the pan aside and examined the steaks by lifting the edge of one with a fork. โCrap. There went dinner.โ
Blue laughed. โYou can save babies from burning cars, but you canโt cook up a couple of steaks?โ
โHey, I was dealing with an emergency. You nearly cut your finger off.โ
They both laughed as Blue glanced down at his finger. โItโs not even bleeding anymore.โ As their laughter quieted, Blue couldnโt help himself. He had to say something. โYouโre not, you know.โ
Jackโs brows pinched with apparent confusion. โNot what?โ
Blue swallowed hard, his knees trembling so badly he wasnโt sure how heโd managed to remain standing. โYouโre not crossing lines.โ
Jack ran a shaky hand through his thick, dark locks. โBlue.โ
โIโm an adult.โ
โI know.โ His Adamโs apple worked up and down as his gaze dropped from Blueโs eyes to his mouth.
โJust because Iโm younger than you, doesnโt mean Iโm too young.โ It wasnโt everything heโd wanted to say, but it was good start.
Jackโs gaze felt heavier somehow, like the thoughts behind his gorgeous eyes were at odds. โI donโt know if…โ
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 Jackโs lips. Taste him. Touch him. The way heโd done in every dream heโd had since he first met him.
โNothing you say can change this.โ
โLook, Blue.โ Jack stepped closer. โIโve had a rough year, and I donโt want my baggage to spill onto you.โ
Blue scoffed, trying to thwart the ball of air stuck in the back of his throat threatening to strangle him. โYouโve had a rough year?โ
Was it petty to compare? He instantly regretted the snide, selfish comment.
Jackโs eyes widened. โShit, Blue. I didnโt mean it like that.โ
โNah, man. Itโs okay.โ
โNo.โ Jack placed his hand on Blueโs shoulder and gave him a gentle squeeze. โItโs not.โ
The second Jack looked him in the eye, Blue knew. He knew beyond a shadow of a doubt that if he didnโt make a move, he might never have the courage again.
Blue rushed toward him and instantly captured Jackโs bottom lip between his own lips and teeth.
Much to Blueโs relief, Jack didnโt pull away. Instead, he pinned Blue against the counter, huffing hot breaths as he pried Blueโs lips apart and slipped his tongue inside.
Blue sucked him in deeper, swirling his tongue around Jackโs. 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, โJesus, Blue. What the hell have you done?โ
