Still Bruised (An Eastfield Boys Book, 1) by Kelex

Foster

Back in high school, Foster had it all—the winning quarterback with the cheer captain on his arm and the whole town at his feet. He was the golden boy, ticking every box, and living the life everyone expected.

But fifteen years later, his picture-perfect world shatters, leaving him divorced from his high school sweetheart and back in the last place he ever thought he’d return.

Home.

He plans to lay low, regroup, and figure out what's next. But peace is hard to come by when the past lurks around every corner.

When an old friend suggests they get away and head into the city for a night of reckless indulgence, Foster decides he’s earned a little sin. He shares the night with a handsome stranger he later can’t get out of his head.

A man he soon realizes isn’t quite as anonymous as he assumed.

Some ghosts won’t remain buried, and some wounds might never heal, no matter how badly Foster wants them to.

Jude

There’s a hole in Jude Margolis incapable of being filled. Nothing he’s tried has worked, but that hasn’t stopped him yet. Cruising and sex parties are his most recent attempt, but the anonymous nature of it just leaves him feeling more isolated.

In walks the one man who ripped that hole in him. Back in high school, they’d crossed a line, but Jude was the only one persecuted for it. And persecuted he was… until it almost ended him.

Foster caused him immeasurable pain. Now it’s time for a little recompense.

Paid with pleasure.

Maybe that will heal the cuts and bruises Jude still conceals deep inside. While he knows better, he still won’t deny himself the feel of Foster’s body against his.
