Risks: We Take

by J.A. Hawke, Alice Miller (With)

In spite of all that happens in the name of love, we keep trying. "Look, Levi," he said, "The truth is, I've been seeing someone while you've been away." Levi Jackson experiences a betrayal of the worst kind when Steven arrives on campus to break up with him. During the heated confrontation, Levi is forced out in front of all his friends. "Isn't there somewhere you can go?" The announcement throws his friends and his mother into avoidance mode. They make plans that don't include him. Alone and with nowhere else to go, Levi travels to a small town in South Dakota where he has no intention of hooking up with anyone until he meets Sam... "Bad boy?" Samuel Eagleheart is used to being a target in the name of hate. A tragedy in his past left him without any real friends and he trades sex for money in order to survive. Levi Jackson, with his sweet face and angel blue eyes, definitely peaks his interest "Don't you ever get lonely?" Isolated from friends and family, Sam Eagleheart has been kept in his place by the racist homophobic town until Levi Jackson arrives. "I feel better when I touch you." It's a risk for them both. Will they decide it's a risk worth taking?
