 Today we're lucky to have the lovely DT Peterson visiting with the skinny on The Cove and a giveaway!  The Cove Author Name: D.T. Peterson Cover Artist: B.K. Wright Publisher: Beau to Beau Blurb: Young and idealistic, Jon and Dave meet by chance, their friendship growing stronger and leading them to a place neither has been before. Though theirs is a love forbidden, which few understand, they journey across the country together and settle in San Francisco, where they are finally free to be together as they were meant to be. When life takes an unexpected turn, however, the two young lovers are torn apart by a secret which, if unveiled, threatens to bring great shame to the family of one determined to keep them on the straight and narrow. Excerpt: “Do you ever think about doing it again?” he asked me tentatively. “Kissing you?” “Yea.” “All the time now,” I replied. I couldn’t lie to him, I did. “Really?” “Yea, what about you?” I asked. “I do, I think about it all the time too.” “So, why haven’t we, if we both want too?” He asked me “I dunno, because we are afraid?” “Yea, I know. But what are we afraid of?” “I guess where it might end up.” “Where it might end?” “Yea” “Dave,” he said, “Where are we going to end up? I need to know.” “Fucked if I know.” “We’ve been together all summer, and we’ve been through a lot.” “It’s been perfect.” “I’ve got to know,” he said, drawing closer to me. “What?” I asked. “Do you REALLY love me?” I didn’t have to think about it. “Jon, I love you more than anyone else. More than I ever thought that I could love someone.” “And I love you too Dave. I can’t imagine ever being without you again.” “I’d do anything for you.” “I know, and I’d do anything with you.” He laid there, next to me, staring into my eyes, as I fell hopelessly into his, both of us finally, realizing. “Hey,” he said, as he ran his fingers through my hair, and he gently drew me closer, “I have to tell you something…” “What?” I said, putting my arm around him, caressing him, and reassuring him. “I’m not afraid anymore,” he whispered into my ear. “You know,” I replied, softly, our lips barely separated, “neither am I. Not anymore.” “So, it doesn’t matter?” “No, it doesn’t matter.” “Well, watcha waiting for?” I wanted to kiss him again for a long time now. And finally I could, and the fear, and the worrying, were gone. I had too, I couldn’t not kiss him any longer. We drew closer, slowly. It was awkward and we laughed a little. Finally, I pressed my lips against his; the spark was instantaneous. I could feel the pent up passion rising from deep within. It was unstoppable, and soon we were tight in each other’s arms, kissing passionately. I looked deeply into his eyes, our lips barely separated, and I whispered to him gently, tenderly, “I love you” Pulling me closer, and tighter, he caressed my face. He replied, in between tender kisses, “I love you more.” “Are you sure you want to do this?” I asked him. “I can’t imagine not doing this,” he replied. “Yea, I know exactly what you mean.” Our lives, and everything that we had been through and done together, the thoughts that we shared and the emotions that we expressed, were a mere dress rehearsal, leading to this moment. The paths that we had chosen, and the decisions that we had made together, led us into each other’s arms and souls.
