Tuning Up Matt — E.A. Gosling

Matt DeWitt has never forgiven Bruce Tedesco, his high school boyfriend and band mate, for leaving him behind in favor of pursuing a solo career. He left home, trying to escape a broken heart, but after years of trying, he ended up right back where he started. Still, he has his music, a job at the café and lives life on his own terms. As for relationships, he’s done with them. He’s better off alone. And then, Bruce Tedesco comes back home.Bruce wants to make amends. He knows he broke Matt’s heart when he left, and he’s desperate to start over. But Matt isn’t interested in the past or trying again. The hurt runs too deep, and Bruce doesn’t know how to breach the wall around Matt’s heart, except to be persistent. And stubborn. He’d good at that.Learning to trust again is hard, especially for Matt. What Bruce did in their teens forever changed his outlook. But one action by Bruce in the present might make all the difference, and it could be their path to a new beginning. They’re definitely attracted to each other, but it’s going to take more than lust to overcome the hurdles between them. It’s about trust, and in the end, love.
