Two small-town guys. Two different dreams. One hot summer night.

Bobby is a musical genius. Reed is just the drummer.

Bobby wants to chase a recording contract. Reed wants to head off to study pre-med. 

Before they make any decisions about their future, they need to know if they're more than each other's experiment.

"The First Dance" can be read as a steamy standalone male/male romance story with a happy for now ending. Expect some language and spicy situations.

Although it can be read as a standalone, this story is also the prequel to the full-length novel, Tonight's Encore: A Second Chance Gay Romance, which explores their renewed relationship ten years later. Bobby has found fame as a rock musician, while Reed has established a career as a much-needed small-town doctor. The heat between them blazes as hot as ever, but their very different lifestyles— and the interference of the tabloid press— threatens to throw cold water on their blossoming romance.
