All Jaron
McAllister wanted to do was get out of the small town where he grew up. After
being bullied all his life for being gay, that’s exactly what he does. He
loses all contact with everyone in the town of Pickleville, including
his emotionally distant mother and the only true friend he ever had.
When his best friend and mother of the child they share,
get murdered he knows he must ask for help in the one place he thought he
would never go back to. Coming back home isn’t easy and finding himself
attracted to the town man-slut spells disaster. Travis Heath isn’t at all what
his reputation suggests though.

Excerpt:
Jaron had been to the grocery store three times this week.
Going only once a week would be grand, but very unlikely to happen apparently.
He seriously needed to start making lists every week.
“I want the little man cookies.” Bobby was practically
bouncing in the cart, pointing at an elf.
“The fudge ones?”
Bobby nodded his head. Jaron grabbed them off the shelf and
placed them in the cart.
“Good choice,” someone spoke from behind Jaron. The voice
was deep and made him moan in appreciation. He turned to put a face to that
wonderful voice.
It was as if Jaron’s thoughts had conjured him up and
placed him right next to the Oreo cookies . Travis Heath got hotter since high
school. And taller. When did men stop growing? Jaron was probably at the guys
shoulder, but it was hard to tell from down the aisle. Travis Heath’s
strawberry blonde hair was longer than it had been in high school and could be
seen curling around the cowboy hat he wore.
The two women at the end of the aisle clammed up upon
seeing him. Jaron didn’t blame them. He wouldn’t want to be caught talking
shit either.
“I haven’t seen you guys in town before.” His smile was
kind but his brown eyes—oh God help him—held mischief, as if the guy was up to
something.
