One Step Forward by F.N. Manning

Ryan Miller has a bright future ahead of him. Luke Chambers is stuck in the past.
The problem? Their hands are joined tightly together even as they pull in different directions.
Science nerd Ryan is the kind of applicant all colleges want, assuming he can get through the interview process without screaming. Luke’s biggest selling point is that he’s an athlete. Or he was. He’s played baseball all his life but even that seems uncertain now.
The past comes back to haunt Luke while Ryan might have a secret he wants to put behind him.
As each boy must go down his own path, can they still make time for each other?
Or, if it’s one step forward for Ryan and two steps back for Luke, will there be no place for them together?
