Wild Heart by Kade Boehme

Jase Emery, on leave in Germany, sees Ase Ramirez for the first time with a camera to his face. Ase’s wild child ways provide a welcome distraction for Jase. But their weekend of fun ends abruptly when Ase’s conservative family catches them. Through email, Ase and Jase are able to keep the link open. But that too comes to an end.
Ase worked hard at getting the heat off himself. His occasional thoughts of Jase and their amazing weekend dwindle as life and family take the forefront and fear drives Ase to make huge mistakes—and his family to make bigger ones.
Jase was never able to live up to his parent’s expectations. He didn’t stay and work the family ranch or settle down with a wife. Instead, he saw the world. His return from serving in the Army changed nothing, he wanted to be free to live his own life. But the death of his father and his mother’s failing health force him to come home and so he can help take care of his family. This was to be his life. Until Ase returns and reminds Jase that the man he wants to be won’t ever line up with that man his daddy wanted him to be.
When Ase and Jase come face to face again, it isn’t easy. Insecurities and a hurt that have only grown with time make it hard to see the future. Can their friendship blossom into something more? With Ase’s wild side reappearing from the shadows and major trust issues, can he and Jase, with huge obstacles of his own, learn to forgive, move on, and find a peace they both so desperately want… together?

This is the 2nd heavily revised, expanded, re-covered, and re-proofed edition of Confessions of a Wild Heart.
