The best time to find yourself is before you hit rock bottom.
My mom died when I was ten, taking my happy family life with her. Since my dad’s only useful enough to drain a bottle, I’ve learned to live with nothing except the love and generosity of my best friends.
My relationship with twins Damon and Declan has always been close. Too close, according to what society has deemed appropriate between guy friends. But that’s never stopped our hugging and cuddling—in public or private. My best friends knew I didn’t receive affection from home, so they never let me go without it.
At twenty-two, the guilt of taking handouts from my friends catches up with me. Filled with self-loathing, I decided it was time to make a change.
Determined to pay my own way, I accept a strange proposition from my former professor. Suddenly, I find myself with a sugar daddy and a whole lot of questions I’m not sure how to process.
The twins have always known they were gay—just like I’ve known I was straight. But now, I wonder if the love and affection I’ve always craved was for something else entirely.
This is an LGBT+ story intended for mature listeners.

Crea lives in upstate New York with her dog and husband. She has been writing since grade school, when her second grade teacher had her class keep writing journals. She has a habit of creating secondary, and often time tertiary, characters that take over her stories. While Crea's career began writing poly romance (with MM), she's recently branched into MM only books. When she can’t fall asleep at night, she thinks up new scenes for her characters to act out. This, of course, is how most of her meant-to-be-thrown-away characters tend to end up front and center - and utterly swoon-worthy! Don’t ask her how many book boyfriends she has… When not writing, Crea is an avid reader. Her TBR pile is several hundred books high (don’t even look at her kindle wish list or the unread books on her tablet). Sometimes, she enjoys crafting; sometimes, exploring nature; sometimes, traveling. Mostly, she enjoys putting her characters on paper and breathing life into them. Oh, and sleeping. Crea loves to sleep!
