Love Fanatic by Peter Styles

Writing fantastical stories isn’t easy. But living and loving in the real world… that’s hard.
Life should be easy for Lance Epstein. He’s the author of a hugely popular young adult fantasy series and he can afford just about anything he could want or need, including his mansion. All he has to do is write and make the occasional public appearance. He’s living the dream.
Or at least he would be, if he was doing anything that people expected of him. Instead, after a bad ending to his only relationship, Lance becomes a hermit, spending five years in a state of perpetual writer’s block and depression.
But when his agent sets up a giveaway for a fan, Lance is forced to have dinner with his biggest admirer: Sam Lawrence, a handsome and upbeat fanfiction writer who is infatuated with Lance’s work. One passionate night leads to another, and the two embark on a cross-country road trip to Fantasticon together.
Soon, even the cynical Lance is taken in by Sam’s talent and enthusiasm. Spending every day and night with one another evokes feelings within Sam that are equally terrifying and electrifying. But the closer Lance finds himself to really falling in love, the more frightened he is, and the more the demons of his past fight to overtake him.
Will Lance ever be able to set down of the baggage of his past? And, more importantly, will Sam be able to see past it?
