BLURB
Red
Maine’s blue-collared bad boy, North Underwood, has a dirty little secret—Will
Tanner.
Friends
since kindergarten, North had been the one to jump first, and his fall into
Will’s bed ten years ago had been no exception. Will and North had been
inseparable, but things change, people grow apart, and even a blazing flame can
dwindle to a dying ember over time.
The more things change
the more they stay the same.
After
a run in with a bottle of Bundy rum, Will and North find themselves in a
compromising and all too familiar position.
Blurred
lines, bad decisions, and one wrong foot after another lead these two down a
spiral of sarcasm, secrets, and sex, but when North’s hetero status is called
into question he can’t figure up from down. And despite Will telling himself he
wouldn’t fall again, he’s head over heels and wandering without a compass.
Love
is love.
Love
is truth.
Love
… shouldn’t be this damn hard to figure out.

EXCERPTS
Excerpt 1
“Relax, Will,” he says, smoothing my cheek with his
thumb. “Don’t you want to know what it feels like?”
I swallow hard, and close my eyes. If only he knew.
If only he had some idea of how long I’ve wanted this.
No.
I shove my hands against his chest. He stumbles
back and catches himself before he can lose his footing. I take a step towards
the door and find myself thrust up against it. North clutches my arm, and
twists it painfully behind my back.
“I know what you want, Will, and I know it isn’t
pussy. It’s cock,” he whispers the last in my ear, sending a shudder down my
spine.
I shake my head and whimper, “No.”
“Yes.” His hot breath on my neck sends all my
senses into overdrive, making me fucking crazy. I grind my erection against the
door and moan, desperate to relieve the ache. “Let me do this, and you’ll know
for sure.”
“Know what?” I hiss, struggling. He grasps the nape
of my neck and holds me in place, my cheek firmly pressed against the wood.
“You’ll know if that’s what you are.” North buries
his face in my neck and licks the salt from my skin. “And you can finally stop
torturing yourself.”
Excerpt 2
I push my glass towards him for another
refill, downing the shot of liquid courage. “You ever think about what might
have been?”
Will scoffs and sets his glass down.
“You’re seriously asking me this?”
“What?” I say, getting pissy now,
because he acts as though he’s the only one who lost something. “I can’t ask a
question?”
He takes another sip, avoiding my gaze.
The humour has left his face; his mouth forms a tight line as he stares down
into his drink. “You can’t ask that
question.”
“Okay then,” I say, agitated that he’s
calling the shots. I ask a question I’ve been wanting the answer to for a very
long time. “Why didn’t you leave?”
“Jesus, not you too.” Will shakes his
head. “You sound like Josh.”
“Who the hell is Josh?”
He slams back the rest of his drink and
beats his fist against his chest. “Fuck buddy.”
“You have a fuck buddy?” I clench my
jaw. I’m starting to see why Bundy has a bad name. Right now, I’d like to find
Josh and beat his fucking head in.
Will laughs. “Look at you getting all
jealous.”
Is
he fucking kidding me?
“How long?” I say through my teeth.
“How long have I been fucking him? Or
how long is his cock? It’s about five for both.”
“Five what?” I snap. “Days? Weeks?”
“Months.” He rests his elbow on the
bar, dangling his glass from his long fingers. “And inches.”
“You been fucking this Josh for five
months, and you didn’t think to mention it?”
“I’ve fucked a lot of men in the last
twelve years, North. Why would I mention any of them to you?”
“I kissed you.”
“Yeah, and I didn’t ask for it,” he
says, swirling the liquor in his glass. “How many women have you slept with in
the past twelve years?”
I don’t have an answer for him. I don’t
even remember half of their names, only that I was fumbling around in a drunken
stupor, trying to grab onto just a little bit of happiness. On the outside I
have all my shit together, but inwardly I’m hollow. I’m the worthless piece of
shit my father always told me I was, and I’d bury my dick in anyone in an
attempt to find something that made me feel even half of what Will had that
summer.
Excerpt 3
He releases me, smoothing a clumsy hand down over
my newly torn shirt. His large palm presses against my thundering heart. For a
long time, we both stand in silence, staring at his hand on my chest. “This is
Red Maine, not Sydney. Ain’t nobody marching down the street here with their rainbow
flag shouting about gay rights. You do that shit here and you get your head
beaten in. I can’t watch you go through that. I can’t go through that.”
“Then come away with me,” I plead, but I know
already what his response will be.
“I don’t know why you’re making this more difficult
than it has to be,” North says.
“Because I can’t turn it off like you can,” I
shout. “I can’t fucking walk away. I wish I could. Fuck, some days it’s all I
wish for. Sometimes I wish that night had never happened because I knew that
this is where it would lead us.”
“What do you want from me, Will?” North’s voice
rises to meet my own. “You want me to tell you that
pussy just doesn’t cut it for me anymore? Huh?” North pushes me against
the wooden railing, and I almost lose my balance. “Is that what you want from
me?”
“I want you to stop fucking lying. To me, to this
town, to yourself.” I dart my tongue along my bottom lip and taste blood. I
hadn’t realised I’d been biting so hard. North watches the movement. He looks
like he wants to kiss me, but he glances instead at the darkening water beyond.
“Fuck. Forget about the town; forget about those arseholes out there. They
don’t matter. Just be honest; just once, give me all of you.”
“You daft prick. I already did give you all of me.
I’ve given you every-fucking-thing I have.”
