Take A Chance On Me by Max Hudson

David Moussa, pen name David Boone, loves writing. It’s what he was born to do, and he’s known that since high school. With a flourishing writing career, he’s happy with his life. He’s doing very well professionally, for a fairly new writer. All he needs now is someone to share his life with, a dream he’s had since his first hard crush in college. But that won’t ever happen, unless Dave can get past the understandable fear that his coming out as bi will lose him the few friends he has, estrange him from his family, and hurt his career. He can’t afford to mess up, now that he’s on the brink of recognition on the New York Times Bestseller list. He’s lived this long without love. He will learn to survive.

Enter Jacob Pratt, Army veteran, scarred both physically and emotionally. Jake is out and proud and has little patience for anyone who lets fear stand in the way. He’s had to endure great trauma in his life, and battles daily to conquer his demons. The last thing he wants is to have anything to do with a man who is hobbled by fear. He let one man’s fear stop him before, and he is still paying the price.

He will never again trust anything but his gut, neither in business nor in love. But when he meets David Moussa, his head and heart collide. The younger man is scared to own his desire for Jake, but Jake can’t seem to stay away from him. His head says Dave is trouble with a capital T. His heart says Dave is the man he could finally love. How will he protect himself from another broken heart if he trusts a man who’s afraid to acknowledge him publicly?
