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.”

Meet 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.
