PHOTO DESCRIPTION:
Two young men embrace and kiss passionately in a green field, one with a leg kicked out behind him, like he has just run across the field to tackle his friend and kiss him. They look like they are laughing and smiling, happy just to be together.
STORY LETTER:
Dear Author,
See these boys and how happy they look? Hmm, yeah, me too…
But what happens if all is not as it appears? If your best friend, the person you love is in danger— if sacrifices/hard decisions need to be made. Will you be strong enough to make them, to see them through? Can you risk your friendship? Can you risk letting your friend know your true feelings? Are you willing to risk anything to keep him safe?
I’d love a YA story, contemporary or fantasy. Sex lite or heavy or not at all, I don’t mind. Does not have to be GFY, but I do want a best friends to more story. I’d prefer no sci-fi or BDSM.
Thank you author— look after these boys, I think they might be in for a rough ride, but I’d like their hearts intact at the end.
Thank you in advance,
Sincerely,
Lori
