A Heated Beat Story
Publisher: Dreamspinner Press
Cover
Artist: G.D. Leigh
Blurb(s):
Will Barter’s been in love with his best mate
Jack for as long as he can remember. They’ve shared everything: love, life,
laughs, even Will’s first kiss. But Jack’s straight, and Will’s long-buried
infatuation means nothing until their last summer together draws to a close.
Then one night, everything changes, but with
Will bound for university in Leeds, and Jack for his dream DJ job in Ibiza,
there’s no time to explore their blurred lines. Before long all that’s left are
secrets, lies, and misunderstandings.
In
the months that follow, anger and hurt overshadow fifteen years of friendship,
and Will must dig deep to remember Jack is his mate… his best mate, and nothing
matters more than that, right?

Excerpt:
“So, are you game, or what?”
Will blinked. “Eh?”
Jack
laughed. He lay back on Will’s bed and folded his arms behind
his head, all dark eyes and shaggy hair. “You’re
such a dreamer. No wonder you don’t notice any blokes. I was saying we could
practice kissing if you want. You know, so you’re not nervous next time the
bottle lands on you.”
This time Will couldn’t stop the beer going down
the wrong way. He coughed. “Next time? What are you going to do? Out me to the
whole school by snogging my face off? I’d rather smooch the girls.”
“Liar.” But Jack looked sheepish all the same.
“Okay, maybe we shouldn’t mess around in front of other people, but I still
reckon you should try your techniques out on me. Ginny says I’m the best kisser
in the whole school, and she should know.” Jack swooned and pitched into a fit
of weed-fueled giggles.
Will dove at him and pushed him off the other
side of the bed. “It’s not funny, arsehole. I’m the only gay in the whole bloody
town. I’m going to die a virgin at this rate.”
Jack hit the floor with a thump. He lay there a
moment, still laughing, then hauled himself back onto the bed. “Chill out,
mate. No one said anything about bonking.”
Will tried to grin. Chill out. Yeah, right.
Jack had been taking the piss since that stupid bloody bottle had put the idea
of them kissing in his daft head. “You’re not funny.”
Jack sobered and stared with an expression Will
couldn’t decipher. “I wasn’t joking, at least not about the kissing part. We’re
friends, right? Ginny and Meg snog all the time.”
He had a point. The girls were always messing
around with each other, and Will had often watched them and maligned the fact
that girls had it easy... from his point of view, at least. They could do whatever
they wanted and no one cared. It would be a different story if Will jumped on
Jack in the middle of the park. Snogged his face off and squeezed his arse.
So why not do it here? No
one will ever know.

characters. Garrett believes in happy endings; she just likes to make her boys
work for it.
