They say
opposites attract but can they make love last?
Greg Mitchell’s entire childhood was filled with
violence and abuse. That was until he
came to work on the Heath Farm. His life was forever changed for the better,
including meeting Brian Stockwell. From the first moment Greg met Brian
he's been in love. But a threat his
father made four years ago has always held him back from pursuing any real
relationship with Brian. That was until he learns his father is on his deathbed
and of no further harm to himself or Brian.
Greg finds out his family ties are stronger than he
thought and they hold Greg back from really getting to know Brian the way he
truly wants to. Both men discover that
they have more differences than they originally thought.

Excerpt:
Every
time Greg Mitchell looked at Brian Stockwell, he hurt. It was like a physical
ache in his chest where his heart should be. Greg caught a glimpse of the man
he had been obsessed with for the past four years and that ache started up.
Brian didn’t even know Greg existed and even thinking about that made Greg feel
like he was in high school all over again. Greg was coming out of the barn, just getting ready to get cleaned up for an evening class he had to commute too. This was his last semester of college and he thanked God every day for that fact. He couldn’t wait to get done. The commute from the farm to school was a bitch, especially this past winter when the snow was up to the windows of his truck and his dick practically fell off every time he went from the bunkhouse to one of the barns. Greg was just glad that it was summer for his last class ever. He didn’t have to worry about the roads being covered in ice and the cold seeping into his bones.
The sun didn’t go down until about the same time Greg got home from class, so he didn’t even have to worry about driving at night in a large city. Although, living in Pickleville his whole life meant every city was large. Living in a small town also meant driving anywhere after ten o’clock at night was an unusual occurrence for anyone who lived here. For a farmhand like Greg that was especially true. Greg had been so focused on finishing school for so long that he just didn’t have time for any extracurricular activities.
Greg sighed as he watched Brian step out of the main house. Brian had shorts on, khaki’s and a dark blue t-shirt. Even from as far away as Greg was, he could see Brian’s cute little nose wriggle his glasses further up his nose. His dark hair had that messy, spiky look that seemed to be at odds with Brian’s nerdy personality type.
Greg rolled his eyes at himself. He couldn’t blame his lack of a social life entirely on his college classes. If Brian ever did give him the time of day Greg still wouldn’t pursue any type of relationship. And he longed to have Brian under him, naked.
Greg sighed again. Roger Mitchell’s parting words four years ago were not an empty threat. Greg’s father was more than capable of following through on hurting anyone Greg even came close to dating. Roger would know too. Greg had seen him on campus more than once throughout the years he had been attending the University.
Yeah, it sounded crazy. It was crazy but it was Greg’s truth. Greg would live in it.
