Jonas needs Tate. He just doesn't know it yet.
Or at least, he doesn't want to admit it. Because there is no way Jonas Ashcroft is gay. He's a straight, carefree frat boy player, just like any good son of a conservative state senator. If only his struggle to convince everyone—especially himself—didn't leave him so miserable. No matter how many girls or bottles he drowns himself in, Jonas can neither escape nor accept who he is.
Enter Tate. He's smart, confident, and instantly sees right through Jonas's surly exterior. Sure, he's done things in life he's not proud of, but he knows who he is and what he wants. And what he wants is Jonas. As their easy friendship intensifies into something more, Tate introduces Jonas to a life he's never known. One filled with acceptance and sex and a love that terrifies and excites them both.
But some inner demons refuse to be shaken off so easily. When Jonas's old life barges in, he faces a shattering choice, one that could destroy everything he and Tate have fought so hard for. Sometimes love just isn't enough—and sometimes it's exactly what you need.
Book One of All Saints, the brand-new series from A.M. Arthur.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
The popular trope of a poor but well-adjusted guy meeting a rich but screwed-up guy plays out here with a certain amount of charm and heat, but not much in the way of imagination. Jonas Ashcroft, the only scion of a wealthy Illinois congressman, is a fish out of water working in his poor relations' thrift store in Wilmington, Del. Sent there by his stern father after a fraternity hazing went awry, Jonas is both bored and boring. He takes pains to appear straight, but when he meets Tate Dawson, who runs a nearby LGBTQ homeless shelter, rainbow sparks fly. Soon, in a remarkably speedy turnover, Jonas is all over Tate and gearing up to out himself to his father, since Tate refuses to be part of a hidden relationship. There's the predicable tussle as Jonas weighs the merits of a closeted but privileged life versus sexual realization and certain disinheritance. The likable characters hold together a familiar r chauff .
