(Sequel to Above Water) 

A summer fling turned into the worst possible case of ghosting Thomas had ever seen. 

When he first met Dallas two years prior, Thomas never imagined letting him far enough into his heart to get hurt. It was just one summer, after all. They met, had fun, then called it quits, promising to keep in touch in the event that they may reunite again one day. 

Thomas just didn't expect the ache of grieving a relationship that never existed when Dallas, without explanation, cut contact. 

Two years later, the holidays brought the pair back together . . . with some unfortunate circumstances. It turns into a matter of following love or reason this time. And maybe, just maybe, two lost souls will bind together once more.

He Says He's Just A Friend

83 parts Complete Mature

Emmet and Clay did not meet on the best of terms, but that doesn't stop them from becoming fast friends. As their bond grows stronger, they will do whatever it takes to maintain this new friendship. Even though that may not be all that either of them wants. After years of living in a conservative southern town, Emmett has developed a hard shell that is not easily pierced. It's gotten even more difficult since breaking up with his first serious boyfriend left him feeling devastated and betrayed. Then a new friend comes along to peel back all the layers of protection, making Emmett feel happy again, and perhaps making him feel something more. The loss of his father at a young age left Clay with severe anxiety. His girlfriend says he's emotionally distant - because he is. Clay never gave much thought to his sexuality. He started dating because all his friends were, and although his relationships never seem to work out, he continues to try, because that's what's expected. The steady track he's been traveling is suddenly upended when he becomes enamored with a boy he just met. Now Clay has to figure out what he wants and how far he's willing to go to get it.
