Now that he’s living with Sam Stein, Zach Cohen is finally ready to move on from his unhappy past. His days are filled with wedding preparations, yet he still finds time to make plans and decisions without consulting Sam and his mother, firmly believing he knows best.
Sam is ready to settle in for the perfect life with Zach but years of bad habits have come back to haunt him. Struggling to accept himself and his future, he chooses not to share his fears, unwilling to look weak in Zach’s eyes.
Real life gets in the way of the best intentions and when their secrets explode, the aftermath challenges the foundation of a relationship both believed unshakeable. Falling in love is the easy part, and Zach and Sam discover that only with honesty can they overcome what threatens to tear them apart.
This is a novella of approximately 25,000 words in The Breakfast Club series

TEASER
A wet and naked Zach stood toweling himself off on the bath mat; he glanced up at Sam and gave him a smile through the fall of his dark hair as he bent to dry his legs. Droplets of water glistened off his smooth shoulders and clung to his back. Without speaking, Sam held him, kissing the back of Zach’s neck where the hair curled damp and smelled like coconut.
Holding Zach gave Sam hope for a future he once thought gone forever. It went beyond the breakup with Andy; that part of him happened a lifetime ago to a different person. What troubled him most was the way he’d left his relationship with his ex-partner on the force. It had been nagging at him, even before he and Zach had met. Though he’d apologized to Rob, Sam had yet to make peace with himself and knew it would forever weigh on him until he cleared the air. His life had split in two it seemed: before Zach and after. And though aside from his friendship with Henry he kept little to nothing of who he’d once been, Sam wanted, no, needed to finish the last chapter before he could start fresh with Zach.
This was a problem he had no difficulty talking over with Zach.
“I’m going to call my ex-partner—Rob Santiago. I know he accepted my apologies over what happened that night, but it never sat right with me. I want him to understand how much I regret what I did.”
Zach turned in his arms and took his face between his hands. “Oh, Sam.” Their lips brushed together for a moment. “I think that’s a wonderful idea. I knew something was weighing on your mind.”
Sam gave Zach a fragile smile, made that much harder to maintain with guilt twisting his insides, and leaned his forehead against Zach’s, as much to gain comfort as it was to avoid the trust in Zach’s gaze. Trust Sam knew he didn’t deserve.
When did he turn into such a coward?
Felice Stevens has always been a romantic at heart. While life is tough, she believes there is a happy ending for everyone. She started reading traditional historical romances as a teenager, then life and law school got in the way. It wasn’t until she picked up a copy of Bertrice Small and became swept away to Queen Elizabeth’s court that her interest in romance novels was renewed.
But somewhere along the way, her reading shifted to stories of men falling in love. Once she picked up her first gay romance, she became so enamored of the character-driven stories and the overwhelming emotion there was no turning back.
Felice lives in New York City with her husband and two children. Her day begins with a lot of caffeine and ends with a glass or two of red wine. Although she practices law, she daydreams of a time when she can sit by a beach and write beautiful stories of men falling in love. Although there is bound to be some angst along the way, a Happily Ever After is always guaranteed.
