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.

About  A.M. Arthur

No stranger to the writing world, A.M. Arthur has been creating stories in her head since she was a child and scribbling them down nearly as long. She credits an early fascination with male friendships and “bromance” (and “The Young Riders”) with her later discovery of and subsequent affair with m/m romance stories. When not writing, she can be found in her kitchen, pretending she’s an amateur chef and trying to not poison herself or others with her cuisine experiments

  • What 5 books do you wish you had written?

I love questions like this, because it lets me remember amazing books that I was so blessed to be able to read. I’m also going to narrow my focus by staying within the m/m genre.

 

  1. Carry the Ocean, by Heidi Cullinan. I cannot gush enough about this book. It was flat-out amazing, and it really puts you in the head of someone who is autistic. And severely depressed. And it gives you so much hope for the two main characters.

 

  1. Chase in Shadow, by Amy Lane. This is one of those books that rips you open and leaves you bleeding on the floor, and I loved every word. Sometimes I think I subconsciously took the angst level of this book as a personal challenge in my own writing.

 

  1. A Red-Tainted Silence, by Carolyn Gray. This was one of the first lengthy m/m romance novels I read, and it remains one of my favorite. Told in two parts, from two points of view, this book gutted me. The emotional turmoil and enduring love and eventual healing process? Guh. So many twists and turns! It really is a brilliant novel.

 

  1. Dark Soul, by Aleksandr Voinov. Even though it isn’t necessarily a favorite, I’m putting this on the list because it takes so many chances. It’s dark and violent and erotic and scary and violent and gripping and violent. It packs a huge wallop right in the face. It’s unforgettable.

 

  1. Butterfly Tattoo, by Deidre Knight. Maybe I’m stretching my adding it to my m/m list, but the hero of this book is bisexual, is a widower from a long-term relationship with a man, and is starting over again with a woman. It’s a breathtaking story of healing, and I am in awe of it. So there. It’s on the list.
