Belonging

Three heartwarming gay romances from A.M. Arthur’s The Belonging series.

No Such Thing
New hearts and fresh starts.

Twenty-two-year-old Alessandro Silva knows that returning to the small town of Perch Creek to help his foster mother was the right thing to do, but not everyone is happy he's back. With no degree and a delinquent's reputation, he's lucky to have landed a job waiting tables. Luckily, the one thing keeping his move home from being a total bust is his boss's hot brother.

Jaime Winters spent most of his life watching the world go by, first from a series of hospitals and then from behind a stack of textbooks. Studying is easier than facing the fact that years of heart failure means he's still a virgin at twenty-three. Until the new waiter in his sister's diner awakens desires he'd long ago given up on.

Maybe This Time
To get it right this time, they’ll both need the strength to let go of the past.

As a regular at gay hotspot Pot O Gold, Ezra Kelley avoids messy emotions with the simplicity of one-night stands and attachment-free hookups. Until the night bartender Donner Davis picks him up off the floor after a misunderstanding and too much tequila. Ezra can't remember the last time someone was…nice. It's more than he deserves.

Witnessing his lover's death two years ago has Donner trapped in a holding pattern—living in his sister's basement, working at the Pot and flirting with the customers. He's not above spending a night with the gorgeous Ezra, but love is not in the cards. That's more than he's ready for.

But one passionate night leads to a connection neither man expects. Will they take the first steps towards something terrifyingly real?

Stand By You
Brendan wakes up a part of him he thought had been destroyed by violence—his heart.

Three months after his rescue from an abusive boyfriend, twenty-two-year-old Romy Myers has landed his first legitimate job—bussing tables at his friend's new coffee shop. The job brought him some stability after years of abuse left him feeling damaged and broken. He's working hard on his panic and social anxiety, things often tempered by the big, burly presence of Brendan Walker.

From the moment ex-football player Brendan helped rescue Romy from his ex's abuse, he's wanted to protect him. And he does, from a distance, with joking text messages, a new gym routine to toughen him up and a genuine friendship. So far it's been easy—until Brendan's feelings aren't just friendly anymore…
