This is the continuation of Brayden & Adam's story from Change of Heart. If you haven't read that I urge you to read that first. 

"It hurts to think about him. I'm pissed, but I miss him at the same time! How could he do this to us?"

Sometimes I hate him and that pains my heart more than anything. He was my best friend. My everything! 

"Use that energy and pour it into your music. It's therapeutic." You shouldn't smile at me like that, it gives me the wrong impression.

**********

"Adam, you need to tell him." Why? So he can hate me more! I did this for him. He may not see it that way but I did. "Brayden deserves to know the truth."

"I'm not the same person anymore." He won't even recognize me. 

"You're a damn fool, but I am here for you." Stop being so nice to me. I don't deserve it!


Brayden and Adam have been inseparable since childhood. Best friends to lovers. Tragic past to present has separated the once inseparable pair. 

No matter the distance and the obstacles in their way they still can't seem to let go of what they once had.

Adam messed up big time

Brayden gave up when he shouldn't have

Others come into their lives, but can they keep these two apart? Only time will tell.

Book Two of Five in the New Beginnings Series. **You do NOT have to read Inhale, Exhale, & Breathe to enjoy these stories** SALEM LUNA: Does anyone ever feel like they're riding a mechanical bull that is never ending? No matter how many times you get thrown off the thing, you appear right back on it? No? Just me then? See, I have this best friend. Former. Best. Friend. It's taking my brain a while to get used to it. Whatever. I'm hopelessly in love with him, and I tried desperately to admit my feelings out loud. So, I did. Raven Fox told me not to love him, and the look he seared into my skin when he said it was now branded into my brain. Now we're on the university book club Christmas retreat. Who did I get roomed with? Raven because of course I was given the bird. The damn bird that didn't love me in return. Which would have been fine had he not looked like the idea disgusted him. Six months have gone by since that day, and our tension is growing with more animosity each second. Now, we're doing activities together, and Christmas is my favorite holiday. He's not screwing this up for me. After a snowstorm starts hitting, though, I end up stuck in the middle of nowhere, out of gas in my snowmobile. I'm terrified as the wind starts picking up and snow starts whipping my face. I thought he wasn't listening. That he didn't care. So, why did he become the one to save me? Why does he look so distraught? His words say one thing, but his eyes are telling me his words are lies. Raven is lying to me. He loves me. But he doesn't want me to love him. All I want to know is why because I can't breathe without him anymore.

**Be aware that this is a manXman story so if that bothers you then please don't read! 5th in Breaking Series. There are certain things that make a man a man in late 1870's Texas. Being able to rope, ride and handle cattle to name a few. Shooting from the hip, playing poker and throwing back whiskey never hurt either. Nick could do all those things but none of that would matter if anyone knew the truth about him-if anyone knew his secret. So to protect that secret, Nick keeps to himself as he works on the ranch at Atkinson Spread. He likes his job and the bosses are decent but Nick is lonely. Covered in scars, both of the physical and emotional variety, he longs for one person he can truly be himself around. That one person he can love. Aiden is running. He's been running since his family realized what he was, called him an abomination and cursed him to death. Bakerstown Texas is where his legs and his will to run finally give out. Somehow he finds himself hired on to work at Atkinson spread though he knows nothing about cattle. He has already resigned himself to a life alone but that thought goes out the window when he lays his eyes on a ranch hand named Nick. Even then, Aiden knows he can't have Nick. Nick doesn't seem to suffer from the same condition that Aiden was born with and so there's not a lot Aiden can do about his attraction to the other man. Until a night at the saloon goes a bit too far...... Can these two men be together or will their secret be found out and their disease dealt with the frontier way?

Josh Harlan is carefree and light on the outside, but feels caged. Being the son of oil tycoon Marshall Harlan is not an easy life. He just wants someone to love him for who he is. Not his name. A threat brings these two together. What neither of them knew was how close. "I could have killed you!" But you didn't. I know you won't hurt me, I'm not afraid of you even when you are afraid of yourself. "This is serious. Not everything is sunshine and fucking rainbows!" This man... he is the only one who can get me so worked up like this. Taking a step towards Ryder as he takes one back. "You don't think I fucking know that!" I might not show it, but I know.If I let it consume me, I might lose myself in the process, if I haven't already. But when I look at his lips only one thing comes to mind. I need to taste him, even if it's only once. Ryder should push him away, but he doesn't . Josh got him to laugh. Something he hasn't been able to do in over a year. "I have never..." Josh's lips crash to his. A yearning he has never known surfaces. He wants more when he knows he shouldn't. Tension Desire Discovering oneself Revenge Loss "Never say never, Ryder."
