Broken




This is my latest story accepted for publication by Total-E-Bound. Projected release is September 2009.


Identical twins Gabriel and Tristan have been apart for seven years, after one twin’s admission of being gay gets him kicked out of the house at seventeen. Leaving his brother behind was one of the hardest things Gabriel has ever had to do. Moving to L.A. to pursue his dreams as a rockstar, Gabriel experiences equal parts luck by starting the up and coming band Thrice Broken, and tragedy, when he falls into the fast and hard life of a drug addict.

Hundreds of miles away, Tristan, riddled with guilt for not having the courage to stand up for his brother, runs into financial ruin just at the peak of his success.

Driven by his desire to look after his younger brother, Gabriel cleans up his lifestyle and separates himself from the man who helped lead him astray. Having achieved his dreams of fame and financial stability, Gabriel calls his brother to L.A. to stay with him until he can get back on his feet.

Yet seven years of pain and regret lie between them, as well as the taboo desire for a love that shouldn’t be. Both brothers know this will be a test of strength and will. Not only is their love forbidden, but being discovered could ruin Gabriel’s public image forever. But their love for each other is only the tip of the iceberg. Tristan will be torn in his loyalty to his brother yet again when their father passes and their mother wants him to move back home. Meanwhile, the ex Gabriel thought he’d cut all ties with nearly a year ago is back, and he’s gunning for revenge. He wants to take out Gabriel’s heart, and it doesn’t take long to discover that Tristan is it.
