Holding On (The Den Boys #5)

“Keeping my bisexuality a secret hasn’t been easy, but after years of hiding who I am, the thought of coming out terrifies me.” – Noah

Being the shy, introverted twin hasn’t always been easy. I don’t make friends easily, or deal with crowds well. I’d come to terms with being alone, until Jesse was hired on at The Den.

I wanted him. He was the most beautiful person I’d ever seen, but as the token “straight” guy at the bar, there was no way that could happen without me having to disclose the fact that I was bisexual.

The more I get to know Jesse, the more I realize that I can’t keep living a lie. I want to be with Jesse, but in order to do that I not only had to come out, but also tell him that I'd never been in a relationship, and I was still a virgin.

“I was tired of running, but it had been my life for so long I wasn’t sure how to stop.” – Jesse

For years all I wanted was a normal life, but even after being banished from the polygamist cult I’d grown up in, it wasn’t meant to be.

Since escaping an abusive situation I’d been on the run, desperately trying to stay ahead of my past. Then I found myself working at a bar and suddenly things didn’t seem so bad. I loved the little family my coworkers had created. And then there was Noah.

There was something about him that drew me in, and it wasn’t his rock-hard body or intense brown eyes. He was sweet and kind, and very shy. He made me feel safe, and that was dangerous when this was supposed to be a temporary stop before I moved on.
