The Johnnie & Sander Stories Volume I — Cade Jay Hathaway

THE JOHNNIE & SANDER STORIES-VOLUME I In this three-novel volume, HAPPY ENDINGS SLEEPOVER begins the story of Johnnie Allen, a gay, 20-year-old American kid who moves to Denmark, supposedly to attend school. There, at a party one night, he meets a Danish lad named Sander. Johnnie develops a strong crush on his new friend and assumes that Sander is as straight as can be, so he represses his feelings for the handsome Dane. The two become fast friends, but Johnnie has a secret, and it has nothing to do with his burgeoning sexuality. Johnnie works for the CIA in field transportation, infiltrating agents, and exfiltrating valuable intelligence assets all over Europe. But complications arise when Sander learns of Johnnie's career at a time when secrecy is paramount to the success of a life or death mission. Cade Jay Hathaway's Happy Endings Sleepover is a taut thriller with a young gay eroticism that makes it an irresistible page turner. Each novel continues the story of Johnnie and Sander as together they navigate life in what is becoming an ever more complex world. In the follow-up novel, SANDER'S COURAGE, Johnnie and Sander have settled into a wonderful life together. During a day trip to Germany, Sander's younger brother, Jannik, is held hostage by a middle eastern terrorist cell. As events unfold, the boys learn that the taking of Jannik Mads Hansen was no random act. The clock is ticking, and time to rescue the kidnapped child is running out. The world is a darkening place in LONG BEFORE MORNING, the third exciting installment of Cade Jay Hathaway's The Johnnie & Sander Stories of gay youth fiction. Johnnie Allen has been tasked to infiltrate a multinational Special Ops team into Ukraine a year after the military downing of a civilian airliner kills nearly three hundred innocent people. Their mission? To send a message to the Russian president that such callous actions will not go unpunished. But another kind of callousness has attacked the love, serenity, and happiness of Johnnie's home in Denmark. And it may prove too much for him to even process, much less conquer.
