Going Under

Ex Coast Guardian Kyle Bevins is a joker, a friend, and unlucky in love. His friends know he's a good guy to turn to if for nothing other than a much needed laugh, but he rarely heeds his own advice. He's content as the new co-owner of his friend's charter fishing company in Pensacola Beach, Florida, but he's missing the companionship of having a significant other and tired of the old hookups. Eddy Jiminez is unlucky, period. He's been dealt most every negative consequence of being gay. He's also an ex-con, so he figured he'd play it safe, keep working hard and trying to forget that it was men he craved. But when he meets Kyle, he can't stop going back for more, but tired of the lies and hurting, he doesn't want to give Kyle up. Kyle would do anything to keep Eddy from drowning again, so he decides to see him safely into the big world of being Out but a past connection may ruin everything. Will there be a second chance for both of them, or will their relationship go under?

Kade Boehme is a southern boy without the charm, but all the sass. Currently residing in New York City, he lives off of ramen noodles and too much booze. He is the epitomy of dorkdom, only watching TV when Rachel Maddow or one of his sports teams is on. (That’d be Orioles, Seahwaks, Ravens, or Gators.) Most of his free time is spent dancing, arguing politics or with his nose in a book. He is also a hardcore Britney Spears fangirl and has an addiction to glitter. It was after writing a short story about boys who loved each other for a less than reputable adult website that he found his true calling, and hopefully a bit more class. He hopes to write about all the romance that he personally finds himself allergic to but that others can fall in love with. He maintains that life is real and the stories should be, as well.
