Saving Us — A.D. Ellis

When nineteen-year-old Jamie Abbott is outed to his very rich, conservative, and religious family, he faces the situation with his chin held high, refusing to bow to his parents' demand that he denounce his sexuality. Twenty-nine-year-old John “Kirk” Kirkland finds fulfillment in his work as a police officer and enjoys building community relationships at the local teen center, although true happiness has always eluded him. When a domestic abuse call brings Kirk to Jamie's front yard, a rocky relationship is born. Jamie doesn't need a hero, but Kirk can't ignore the unexpected protectiveness and concern he feels for the young man. Desperate to prove he doesn't need Kirk, Jamie succumbs to the support offered by a man with a dubious agenda. Can Jamie concede that everyone needs rescuing from time-to-time? Will Kirk find his own happily-ever-after? Or will their relationship fail before it even begins? **Saving Us is a May/December male/male romance meant for ages 18+ due to sexual and adult themes.** This book contains references to characters and/or “world” elements that appear in The Breakfast Club series copyrighted by Felice Stevens.
