The Boy Next Door

"2nd Edition"

Life is full of surprises and, with luck, second chances.

After his father s death, Lowell leaves the big city to help his sick mother in the conservative small town where he grew up. He s shocked to find himself living next to none other than his childhood friend Jase. Lowell always had a crush on Jase, and the man has only gotten more attractive with age. Unfortunately Jase is straight, now divorced, and raising his six-year-old daughter. It s nice to reconnect, but Lowell doesn t see a chance for anything beyond friendship.

Until a night out together changes everything.

Jase can t fight his growing feelings for Lowell, and he doesn t want to give up the happy future they could have. But his ex-wife issues an ultimatum: he must keep his homosexuality secret or she ll revoke his custody of their daughter, Layla. Now Jase faces an impossible choice: Lowell and the love he s always wanted, or his daughter.
