Exposed

YORICK
People have always doubted that I'm straight - but I am, and I have a four-year-old daughter to prove it. DJing at a male strip club is downright uncomfortable. Wright, the blond, built ex-Marine bartender, is the only one who doesn't question my sexuality - until the day he makes a move on me, and I'm left wondering if there's something to everyone's suspicions.

WRIGHT
Working as a bartender helps me deal with the scars left from my time in the service - and my crush on the DJ is a fun distraction. When he rejects me, I take it in stride. I can wait for him to accept his sexuality. But even though I'm openly gay, I have secrets of my own that I can't bear to expose. Maybe I need Yorick as much as he needs me. Maybe he and I can heal each other.

Exposed is a full-length, standalone gay romance in the Tool Shed series.
