Streets Apart

A gay friends to lovers romance. Two novellas combined into one novel. I'm Aaron. I've got a crush the size of Europe on Joe, who lives across the street, and when he's around, I transform into a prize idiot. The rest of the time I'm a trainee plumber. On Sundays, I transform into a player in the amateur football league. In all, a confident, well-adjusted guy. For a 20-year-old virgin who lives with his parents and falls apart over the boy not-quite next door. Joe's cute, sexy, fun and the reason the word sexy was invented. We used to play together as kids in the massive posh house that he lives in with his parents, the doctors. Now he's at university, studying literature. How do I ask a guy for a date when I can't string together a coherent sentence when he's around, and I don't even know if he's gay? And what's more, no one knows I'm gay. Who keeps their boyfriend in the closet these days? I want the world to know how much he means to me. I'm going to come out, but not today, I can do it next week. This is a hot, sexy, feel-good romance about two young men who are crazy about each other and do lots of kissing, hand holding and taking their clothes off. 64,000 words of standalone sexy, comedy, romance.
