Here’s the blurb
After running away from the hatred and abuse of their teen years, Sean and Gavin have been hustling to survive for too long now. When some extra cash lands them alone in a hotel room until Christmas, they can no longer deny their feelings for each other. Now neither one can imagine watching the other walk off with one more trick. Even with no money and no job prospects, Sean is determined to not just show Gavin what a real home and holiday is like, but to keep them off the streets for good and build a life together.
If you check it out, I hope you enjoy Sean and Gavin’s story. It’s a bit of an angsty one but very sweet as these two find their way to Something To Believe In.
Fortunately I was able to find the same stock photography for the boys so the cover has a similar look as the e-book version.
You can pick up a copy at Amazon.com, Amazon UK, or CreateSpace now. It’ll be added to Barnes and Noble and other stores as soon as they get it added to their catalogs (probably in a few weeks).
Got an excerpt added to my website for my upcoming holiday story, Something to Believe In. This is from the night Sean meets Gavin. Hope you enjoy the preview.
