Bio:
WILL PARKINSON
believes that no matter what obstacles are thrown in the path of young love,
it
will always find a way to win in the end. He wants his characters to have their
happily ever after,
but that doesn’t mean that it’s going to come easily.
None
of this would have happened if he had followed the advice he was given many
years ago.
“What are you wasting your time on that for? It’s never going to
amount to anything.” He believed
it for the longest time, abandoning characters
he’d created in his childhood.
He
picked up his very first m/m story by a writer named Eden Winters, who was an
absolute
joy when they corresponded. She asked him if he wrote and he told her
the story. Eden explained to
Will that the voices in his head would never go
away and how he needed to let them out. With that
thought in mind, Will put
e-pen to e-paper once more. It was truly a liberating experience and one
he has
no intention of giving up again.

Blurb(s):
Although
Addy’s heart and body bear the scars from his life before he was adopted by the
Deans, he’s ached for something he thought he would never find. Until he met
Benny. He isn’t sure how anyone can care for someone as broken as he is, even
though he wants it desperately.
High
school senior Benny Peters has his whole life planned out for him, until a
chaste kiss at summer camp opens a new world of possibilities. Determined to
erase Addy’s insecurities, Benny works to take away his boyfriend’s pain and
replace it with love.
When
Addy’s past intrudes on their future, it’s going to take everything Benny can
muster to show that no matter what – or who – they face, they belong together.
Excerpt:
Benny cast a
glance at Addy, noticing how his eyes kept darting to him and then to the
floor. He seemed troubled, unsure.
“Addy? Is there
something wrong?”
Addy heaved a
deep sigh, then was quiet for a moment. “Do I embarrass you?” he finally asked.
“What? No, of
course not. Why would you even think that?” Benny was genuinely perplexed.
“Jackson and
Taylor don’t seem to have any problem touching each other, but you act like
I’ve got germs or something and won’t come anywhere near me when there’s other
people around. I have to wonder if you’re ashamed to be seen with someone
like... me.”
“Oh God, no,”
Benny replied sharply. “Please don’t ever think that. You know what? C’mere.”
He grabbed
Addy’s arm and dragged him into the lounge.
“Listen to me,
little man. I am not now, nor have I ever been, nor will I ever be ashamed of
you. If anything, you should be ashamed of me.”
Addy looked
puzzled. “Why?”
Benny slid his
fingers through his stubbly hair, then rubbed the back of his neck before he
spoke. “I’m not really comfortable with being... like this. I really do care
for you, but I’ve never felt this way about a guy— well, about anyone—before,
and I don’t know how to handle it. So no, I’m not ashamed or embarrassed of you
at all. I’m just not sure how to deal with everything.”
Addy took Benny
by the hand and peered into his eyes. “That’s all I needed to know. I don’t
want to rush you. If you need time, you’ve got to know I’ll give it to you. I
just wanted to be sure that you wanted me.”
Benny regarded
his boyfriend. Yeah, his
boyfriend.
Benny had never been afraid to stand up for anyone in his life. Why should he
be ashamed to stand up for himself now?
“C’mere, little
man,” he growled, putting his hand on Addy’s neck, pulling him in close.
Addy’s eyes went
wide, excitement dancing in them. Benny licked his lips and then pressed them
to Addy’s in a deep, thrilling kiss. Someone whimpered. Benny wasn’t really
sure which one of them it had been. He felt his synapses fry. It was the most
incredible thing he’d ever experienced. A voice called out, startling them
both.
“Benny? Is there
something you’d like to tell me?”
Benny looked up
and stared for a moment at Taylor, who had a wide smile across his face. Benny
could feel his cheeks heat up. This wasn’t the way he wanted this to go, but
damn, right now he needed Addy in the worst way.
“No, Taylor, not
right now,” he replied quietly.
Then he went back in for another one of those
amazing kisses.
