Tristan tried to take in what he was being told and the fact that all his friends were there, including Bull, and even Spook, standing in the corner out of the crush of people. His mother hugged him again, then stepped back, and his father hugged him. “Dad?”
“Yes,” his father whispered. Tristan knew that was likely as close to a statement of understanding as he was going to get from him. Tristan returned the hug, deepening it, and his father did as well. Then his father coughed a little self-consciously before stepping out of the way so they could get farther into the room.
Tristan greeted each person. After a few minutes, he felt Harry slide his hand into his. He never thought he’d hold the hand of the man he loved in his parents’ home.
“Are you happy?” Harry asked later, on the back deck. Tristan had gone outside to catch his breath.
“I’m beyond happy, though I still can’t understand how this happened.”
Harry took his hand. “I had a conversation with your dad that was very uncomfortable at first, but he opened up a little and eventually asked questions that I tried to answer.”
“Why didn’t he ask me?” Tristan asked.
“Sometimes some things are easier to ask someone you haven’t raised. I gave him straight answers, and I guess he began to think that maybe some of what he thought was black and white… wasn’t. I think he’s trying.” Harry squeezed his hand.
“You’re pretty amazing,” Tristan said, turning to Harry.
“So are you, sweetheart.” Harry leaned closer, and Tristan heard the door behind them slide open.
“Your friends are leaving,” his mother said, and Tristan colored and stepped back.
“I’ll be right there,” Tristan told her with a smile. She closed the door, and Tristan leaned close again, kissing Harry quickly before pulling back again. He didn’t want to move. Tristan was truly happy, and he smiled at Harry before taking his hand and leading him toward the door. “Sometimes I wonder when I’m going to mess everything up.” Harry stopped and pulled him close, kissing him hard, and the notion flew from his mind.
“Does that answer your question?” Harry asked.
All Tristan could do was smile and nod for a few seconds. Then he managed to whisper, “I love you too.” Harry stroked his cheek and then led him inside to join his family.

Inside Out
Bronco’s Boys: Book One
By Andrew Grey
Former mercenary Bull Krebbs now heads up security at his nightclub in Harrisburg, PA. Working the door night after night, he’s seen it all. Though tough on the outside, he’s a little hurt that people find him unapproachable. Then he pulls a cute twink out of line to perform a random search, and he’s surprised when the guy giggles and squirms.
Zach Spencer, graphic artist, twink, and seriously ticklish, isn’t intimidated by Bull. He’s in awe, and when Bull saves Zach from being trampled on the dance floor, Zach finds his inspiration for the superhero in his graphic novel.
Soon Zach wants more and makes his move by asking Bull on a date. Though small, he has a backbone of steel. He’ll need it—their happily ever after is thwarted at every turn, including by Bull’s interloping mother showing up unannounced and enemies from Bull’s past threatening to pull him to the other side of the world.

Upside Down
Bronco’s Boys: Book Two
By Andrew Grey
Lowell Cartwright’s life as a mercenary problem solver has taken its toll, and after one more difficult job, he wants out. For help, he turns to Bull, a soldier of fortune turned club owner—not exactly a friend, but the best chance Lowell has. He visits Bull’s club to scope it out and meets Jeremy Hodgson. The twink captures his attention in a big way. Bull tells Lowell to stay away from the club until he decides whether he can help, so Lowell stays in town. When he spots Jeremy passed out on the floor of a convenience store, he goes to Jeremy’s aid.
Lowell piques Jeremy’s interest immediately, pushing all the right buttons. Then, when Jeremy needs help, Lowell’s kindness turns interest into something more.
But trouble comes knocking when Jeremy’s place is bugged. Maybe Lowell’s past is catching up to him, or maybe the danger centers on Jeremy’s roommate Tristan’s mysterious boyfriend. Whatever the source of the problem, the future Lowell and Jeremy hope for doesn’t stand a chance unless they can find a way to protect themselves.
