Book blurb:
Eight months ago
Jude Lucen fled his partner, his career, and a hospital in Boston after a
suicide attempt. Now back in Philadelphia, he feels like a complete failure.
Piano has always been his passion and his only escape. Without it, he has
nothing. Well, nothing except a pathetic crush on the most gorgeous man he’s
ever seen.
Faron Locklear came to Philly looking for a fresh start and has thrown himself into tattooing at Small Change. He’s only met Jude a few times, but something about the red-haired man with the haunted eyes calls to him. Faron is blown away by Jude’s talent. What he isn’t expecting is the electricity he feels the first time they kiss—and the way Jude’s needs in bed speak directly to his own deepest desires.
Jude and Faron fall fast and hard, but Jude has spent a lifetime learning that he can’t be what the people he loves need. So when the opportunity arises to renew his career in Boston, he thinks he has to choose: music, or Faron? Only by taking a huge risk—and finally believing he’s worthy of love just as he is—can he have the chance for both.
The Small Change series is set in the Middle of Somewhere universe and features crossover characters from that series. Each book can be read on its own.
Content warning: This book contains explicit discussion of depression, anxiety, attempted suicide, and feelings of worthlessness.

Teaser:
My problem with Faron was that he was stunning.
He was tall
and taut, with broad shoulders and an elegant neck. His tawny brown skin was flawless
and he had dreamy, gray-brown eyes that always seemed to focus on something in
a plane beyond this one. His riot of corkscrew curls was sometimes loose, but
today was caught up in a topknot. It had been bleached nearly white when I
first met him and was now growing out. His cheekbones were high and broad,
casting shadows that made him look like he was candlelit from every angle. His
mouth was lush and full, and his rare smiles turned his chiseled beauty to a
warmth so engaging that you didn’t ever want him to look away from you.
His beauty
was a problem because it made me want him and I hated wanting anything. Desire
was the beginning of disappointment.
It wasn’t
just his looks, though. I could’ve handled that. I’d known a lot of beautiful
people.
No, it was
everything.
He was
graceful and forceful at the same time. His focus was intense, whether it was
on the things that only he saw or on whoever he was listening to. And he made
me feel calm—as if he held the whole world in his hands and slowed it down or
sped it up to whatever speed I was going.
It was
intoxicating: a promise of peace as long as I was in his presence.
A hope.
