Shawn and Henry - Take a Shot, #2 - E-book - ePub

James and Merrick (Take a Shot, book 1) are just beginning to navigate their relationship, and their best friends, Shawn Lasting and Henry Martin, are doing their best to be cautiously supportive. Shawn and Henry frequently come into contact, but after the tension and animosity of their first meeting, they remain wary of each other. When Shawn finally confronts Henry about his animosity, their tension proves to have been sexual all along and quickly transforms into a long-distance relationship.
With encouragement from Shawn, Henry explores his sexuality far more than he's ever previously allowed. Meanwhile, Henry encourages Shawn to work toward making some of his own lifelong dreams a reality. When Henry informs Shawn he's in love with him, Shawn balks and explains that he's always been a no-strings sort of guy, leaving Henry feeling stung and rejected. A difficult family experience at his mother's funeral makes Shawn question some of his preconceptions, and he realises that what he feels for Henry is love.
Now, he needs to ask Henry's forgiveness and hope that it will be enough to let them both have a love neither ever thought possible. NOTE: The beginning of this story runs concurrently with book one, James and Merrick, but is told from the POV of their best friends, Shawn and Henry. Because of the overlap, this one can stand alone and readers do not have to read book one first.
