Don't Leave Me Too
A Boys' Love Novel
In a world where everyone he loves seems to leave, Williams Peterson is determined to turn over a new leaf. After the death of his best friend and his father's silent disappearance in pursuit of business, Williams' mother makes a life-altering decision: they're starting over. A new school. A new town. A new chance.
Before she leaves him behind to settle things abroad, Williams promises her he'll change-no more fighting, no more trouble, no more broken promises. He'll be a better son. A better person.
But keeping that promise isn't easy-not when your past clings to you like a shadow.
At his new school, Williams blends in with the crowd, keeping his walls high and his secrets close. He jokes, he flirts, but never lets anyone get too close. Because love? Love is dangerous. Love is temporary. Love leaves.
Then he meets Cody-quiet, smart, infuriatingly brave Cody-who sees past the walls Williams has built, who offers him a kind of safety he's never known before. But even as feelings deepen, Williams can't let go of the fear that everyone he opens up to eventually walks away.
Can Williams overcome the ghosts of his past and embrace the love standing right in front of him? Or will his fear of abandonment and his need to hide his true self destroy the one connection that could save him?
Don't Leave Me Too,is a heart-wrenching boys' love story about grief, healing, found family, and the terrifying courage it takes to love someone when you've been broken before.
