Between the Shadow and the Soul
Thirty-year-old Greg Beaumont is still fleeing the ruin of his life fifteen years ago. Now he's sharing a new home with his best friend Nate Sawyer, pouring himself into his work, and avoiding romantic entanglements while claiming he's just taking his time. But when he meets Kyle Wakeham, a fifteen-year-old neighborhood boy, he'll not only face the wreckage of his past but he'll also discover he's not defined by the torments and tragedies of history.
Rated Mature for graphic sexual discussions, casual marijuana use, casual underage marijuana and alcohol use, flashbacks to the grooming and sexual assault of a minor, and explicit sexual activities.
Includes mentions of intimacy between high school students but otherwise contains no underage sex. Nope, not even a kiss.
This is a tale of healing, coming of age, self-discovery and romance.
There are no reviewers or editors, so all errors are my own.
