BLURB
Lucas Barnett and Gabriel Stewart didn’t have it easy as kids. They were only trying to deal with bad situations at home when they became lifelines for each other. Their pipe dream was to someday meet in LA, where Lucas would design skyscrapers, and Gabriel would learn to fly. But then Gabriel disappeared without so much as a goodbye, and Lucas got himself in trouble with the law.
Five years later, both men are at a loss when they run into each other at a Hollywood bar. Lucas is still angry, but it’s not as if Gabriel could control how his mind and body had betrayed him. Being found on the ledge of that bridge had changed everything.
The attraction is immediate, but it’s more than their inability to keep their hands off each other. Neither man expects the fierce connection pulling them together. Unfortunately, ignoring their problems doesn’t make them disappear. Gabriel’s internal struggles are serious…dangerous. And no matter how much Lucas wants it to be true, saving Gabriel won’t make up for not being able to save his mom. If they don’t find the strength to face their own demons before the darkness takes hold, they risk more than just losing each other forever.
All at once he steps forward, clutches my jaw, and crushes his lips against mine in a bruising kiss that sucks the oxygen straight from my lungs. We fall backward on my bed, reaching, grabbing, and intertwining legs and arms. Our mouths and teeth clashing, our tongues battling.
“You make me feel like…” Lucas says against my lips, barely coming up for air as his lips capture mine in another powerful kiss.
“Like what?” I gasp, attempting to catch my breath.
“Like things might be okay.” He pulls back to stare into my eyes. “You make me wanna try for more.”
My eyes are misting because I’m so thrilled that he liked what I showed him and my erection is poking against his stomach because I’m so fucking turned on.
My fingers reach up to outline the scar near his eye. The one I first touched so many weeks ago. His eyes soften and then he shuts his lids. His inky lashes flutter against his cheeks, and I stretch to kiss his lips because he’s so beautiful.
“Now that I found you again,” I whisper, almost to myself. “I don’t want to lose you.”
His eyes snap open and his irises are so vibrant, so clear when he says, “I don’t want to lose you, either.”
And I want to believe him. So fucking much it hurts. I drag his mouth down to mine so I can feel that promise right against my lips.
Nyrae Dawn
Nyrae Dawn can almost always be found with a book in her hand or an open document on her laptop. She couldn’t live without books—reading or writing them. Oh, and chocolate. She’s slightly addicted.
She gravitates toward character-driven stories. Whether reading or writing, she loves emotional journeys. It’s icing on the cake when she really feels something, but is able to laugh too. She’s a proud romantic, who has a soft spot for flawed characters, who make mistakes, but also have big hearts.
Whether she’s writing young adult, new adult, or adult you can always count on a healthy dose of romance from her books. She likes to tackle tough subjects, and believes everyone needs to see themselves in the stories they read.
Nyrae is living her very own happily ever after in California with her gorgeous husband (who still makes her swoon) and her two incredibly awesome kids.

Christina Lee
Once upon a time, I lived in New York City and was a wardrobe stylist. I spent my days shopping for photo shoots, getting into cabs, eating amazing food, and drinking coffee at my favorite hangouts.
Now I live in the Midwest with my husband and son—my two favorite guys. I’ve been a clinical social worker and a special education teacher. But it wasn’t until I wrote a weekly column for the local newspaper that I realized I could turn the fairytales inside my head into the reality of writing fiction.
I write Adult, New Adult, and M/M Contemporary Romance. I’m addicted to lip gloss and salted caramel everything. I believes in true love and kissing, so writing romance novels has become a dream job.
