Lover on Top

Book excerpt: Sexy-as-sin paramedic Chad Caldwell has always been out and proud. Sure, some gay-bashers are harassing him, but he's determined to be true to himself. There's just one problem: He's hung up on Hollywood, his older brother's straight best friend. When Hollywood's apartment is damaged by fire, Chad reluctantly takes him in.

Has his father's emotional and physical abuse somehow damaged him?

But with a rabidly homophobic father, is Hollywood doomed to die in the closet? Chad won't accept anything less than a public relationship, no matter how amazing the sex is. Can Hollywood ever accept the man he's always kept buried deep inside?
