Book 1 in The Making of a Man Series

This was a previously released title in 2010 from Silver Publishing. It has been edited and has new cover art.

Sometimes two people fit together so well it seems their love was preordained, as if every step taken led inevitably to a happy ending.

Deeply in love, Jared and Alex are such a couple, but the path to true and lasting love is rarely smooth. At 15 being gay isn’t the best thing that ever happened to a guy. In fact, Alex Ross thinks it’s down right scary. When he meets 20 year old construction worker Jared Douglas Alex starts to think the gay thing might not be so bad after all.

The attraction between them is intense, but mindful of Alex’s age Jared is determined to keep the sparks from igniting. The stress of controlling his feelings makes it almost a relief when Alex’s father ships him off to prep school. Jared expects Alex to forget him and find a boy friend his own age; he doesn’t anticipate how much it will hurt.

When Alex comes home for Christmas, just turned 16 with his heart on his sleeve, Jared knows he can’t continue to keep everything he feels a secret.
