But real life doesn’t fade into the background, so when Ben’s past comes knocking, old habits are hard to break. The more time they spend together, the more Xavier begins to long for Ben in a different way-one that both surprises and scares him. Xavier breaks apart Ben’s sheltered world and shows him what it’s like to live out loud. When Xavier challenges Ben’s beliefs about sex, it becomes explosive-for both of them. Seeing the world through Ben’s eyes, he begins to wonder if he’s also not living as freely as he thought. When Ben reenters his life, Xavier helps him experience the city and feel comfortable in his own skin.
Whether it’s eyeliner, nail polish, tattoos or his love of hooking up, he uses his body as a form of self-expression but doesn’t let anyone get too close. Xavier Ramos is who he is, and he doesn’t give a damn what anyone thinks. Ben hopes the familiar connection will help him right some wrongs as well as provide the solace he’s been craving.
When he reaches out to Xavier, a childhood friend who lives in the city, Ben isn’t sure how he’ll respond given their thorny history. Distancing himself certainly helps create a new mindset, but living as an openly gay man takes some getting used to. Born into an ultra-conservative church community, he’s finally brave enough to break free and move to San Francisco. ✦✦✦Release Blitz ✦✦✦ Check out this fantastic new release, read the Excerpt,īen Emerson has lived by his minister father’s rules most of his life.
