River Reeves has liked Eric Westmark since the moment Eric and his older brother became best friends. The chance of Eric, raised conservatively Christian in a small town in Wisconsin, liking River is approximately that of a comet hitting the earth, but that doesn't stop River from pining for Eric--for years. 

After a tragedy during River's senior year in high school scrambles their lives, they get involved sexually to disastrous and near-deadly results. Now, 12 years later and well into their successful adult lives, they're faced with a chance of processing the summer that changed everything, including their heartbreak and their grief.

***

This is a mlm (mxm) second chance romance featuring CEOs, musicians, California, and lots of deliciously steamy, rich-people shenanigans. But do not be fooled, this is also a story about mental illness, sexuality, religious trauma, healing, bereavement and other heavy topics.

READ THE TRIGGER WARNING BELOW. 

*****TW:  This story contains explicit descriptions of sex, drugs, and overdose-related death. It deals with topics such as mental health and depression. This is an adult story intended for a mature audience.

Even though I'm a mess and I still don't think I'm good enough for him, I want to date him.

A Thin Line Between Love & Hate (Love Conquers All series) ORIGINAL VERSION by AMS1971

NOTE: This is the ORIGINAL version. The revised version, which includes multiple added scenes and extended storylines, will be published on amazon as two separate books (A Thin Line Between Love & Hate / A Short Distance Between Heaven & Hell). The revised versions may or may not be uploaded onto wattpad, I haven't yet decided if I will be doing that. **The extremist group in this story is based on the Westboro Baptist Church located in Topeka, Kansas. ________________________________ Josh Waylon is a prisoner in his own home, his own mind. Part of an extreme religious group who has targeted homosexuals, Josh is forced to live the hate that the leader--his father--has poisoned them with. But Josh has a secret of his own, one which would bring him extreme pain and punishment within the group and alienate him from everyone he knows. When the group moves to a new town, a community which is predominantly LGBTQ, and Josh starts at the new school, he feels like a sheep amidst wolves as the many gay kids within the school know exactly who he is and what his family does. Josh feels no security with his two older brothers, who expect him to suck it up and accept the persecution as a servant of God. Brandon Nichols immediately detects the difference between Josh and his brothers, seeing deeper within the young man and the truth he is hiding, desperate not to be found out. Brandon believes his calling is to help bridge the gap between the gays and Christians in his school, but he has his work cut out for him with Josh Waylon and the extremist group that has him locked down--emotionally, spiritually...and sexually.

18+ | steamy, angsty rock star romance with a touch of humor THIS IS A SPIN-OFF SEQUEL TO "A SLIP OF THE HAND." It can be read as a stand-alone, but it does contain major ASotH spoilers. ***Proceed with caution! This blurb contains spoilers for "A Slip of the Hand"*** It starts at a wedding. Fiercely independent Seattleite Victoria Bradford has all but sworn off dating. But when she attends her cousin's glamorous Southern California wedding solo, she's blindsided by feelings of loneliness and inadequacy. In a moment of vulnerability, she meets a brooding, charming stranger. He's witty, disarmingly honest, and-oh yeah-the frontman of the chart-topping rock band, Oliver Rose and The Thorns. Oliver Rose is hollowed out by fame, not to mention the tumultuous journey that led to his latest multi-platinum album. He isn't looking to meet anyone, especially not at his childhood friend's wedding. But in Victoria, he finds someone who sees the man underneath the mask he wears. Victoria and Oliver's instant chemistry transcends their usual barriers, forging a connection neither expected. They've got everything going against them: a thousand miles distance, completely different lives, and the relentless pressures of Oliver's career. However, the biggest threat to their budding romance isn't their contrasting lifestyles. A relationship from Oliver's past threatens to eclipse everything.
