Publisher's Synopsis
"An old secret. A new secret. A surprising secret. A dirty secret."
Coming to terms with his sexuality, Pete Stubbs has found his "Mr. Wonderful" and wants to celebrate his happiness by coming out. Yet admitting he is gay to his family is taking more courage than he originally thought, especially when his mother stuns him with her unexpected homophobic hatred. He starts to wonder if his coming out will be more selfish than freeing.
Out and proud, Asher Gilford is tired of always being the "throw away boy." He deserves to be loved by a man who's not ashamed to be with him. Though his current lover reassures him it's only that "more time is needed" before they can go public, Asher fears he's becoming someone's "dirty little secret" yet again.
When a church sponsors Pete and Asher for a charity event, it explodes a series of startling secrets within their hometown. As Pete watches life crumble around him, he realizes that by remaining in the closet, he could lose more than his family. If he doesn't step up, he could lose Asher.
