Hidden Impact (ePub)

Reed Parr loves Drew Sanborn with a passion that flares bright and hot and lasting. Drew fulfills every fantasy Reed has ever imagined of the perfect lover, the perfect partner. And Drew loves him right back. So what's the problem? Reed's life, for one thing. Reed's children and Drew's parents. And their inner vulnerabilities. Age differences and past hurts...

Reed is a gifted architect, and his livelihood hinges on the career he's built over fifteen years with the Sanborn Architectural Firm-the company owned and run by Drew's father, a man with whom Reed and his wife had regularly socialized before Reed's wife's death. Reed had watched Drew grow up, watched as the young man become fast friends with his own son, Mark, never realizing how their paths would cross in later years. Their lives are so intertwined, that the impact of their relationship on both families could be devastating. Reed simply can't take the chance on outing his love for Drew without considering the hidden impact on all their lives.

Drew, sixteen years younger than Reed, is openly gay. At some level, he understands Reed's hesitance on outing their relationship. Yet after two years, he's ready for their secret affair to transform into a public commitment.

Can a week in the mountains, away from the pressures and expectations surrounding them, help to cement the relationship enough for Reed to publicly admit his love for Drew? Or will everything fall apart, causing the lovers to separate forever, no matter how painful the parting?

Confrontation, revelation, and steamy nights of hot, searing sex could make all the difference in the world...
