Castles in the Air
By Felice Stevens
One heartbroken, lonely man
Another man struggling to find his life again
Ryan Matson dreams of a new life, one with a future where drugs aren’t in control. But lying to himself isn’t helping him achieve that goal. Neither is pretending he’s sober, especially not with Logan Silver, his one-night stand and longtime crush. When Ryan’s world implodes and all his hopes for a fresh start vanish, he heads down a familiar, self-destructive path, doing what he does best: running and hiding. Only this time, he’s got Logan Silver searching for him.
And Logan won’t stop until he finds him.
Logan Silver is the man who has everything and yet nothing at all. After losing his brother to drugs years ago, Logan is heartbroken, unable to regain his footing or open himself to others. Except to Ryan, the only one to break through the pain that haunts him each day. He is driven by a need to protect Ryan, to give him all he can—a home, a chance at a fresh start…everything, no strings attached. Then Ryan disappears, taking Logan’s trust with him. And when he returns, insisting on keeping his distance, Logan feels like he’s been used. And nobody uses Logan.
Logan and Ryan are unable to deny their attraction, but this time has to be different: no more lying to themselves and each other. Logan must let go of his heartbreak and fear to support Ryan as he discovers his own way. Because Ryan doesn’t need a savior. He needs to own his truth, believe in himself, and accept that he deserves to be happy. Only then can the two have a future together—one built on a foundation of love and trust—that won’t vanish like clouds in thin air.
From Lambda Literary Award winning author Felice Stevens comes an emotional, thrilling new MM romance full of heartbreak, hope and ultimately love. It’s filled with angst, true friendship, and swoony, steamy moments. And of course an epic happily ever after.
Be advised there is on-page discussion of substance abuse and mental health issues.

Exclusive Excerpt:
They sat staring at each other until Logan grinned. “You blinked first. I win.”
“What? We weren’t playing a game. I was just thinking how crazy it is that I’m here with you.”
“Why?”
Was Logan being deliberately dense?
“Because…because…I don’t know. I never thought I’d have a chance to get my life together.”
“I think you can do anything you want. You’re stronger than you think.”
Face hot, Ryan ducked behind the menu. “Uh, what kind of pizza do you want?”
“Anything but olives. I hate them.”
“Don’t worry. I do too.”
“Finally someone I can relate to. Both my partners insist I have no taste, but I can’t stand the taste of them.”
“So, regular cheese?” Ryan didn’t care which, as long as there was plenty of it.
“We could do mushrooms or pepperoni.” Logan, on the other hand, seemed to take pizza ordering as a very important decision. “Or both. Maybe two pies.”
“Two?”
“Yeah.” Logan’s eyes crinkled. “In case we want a snack for later.”
Ryan’s mouth dried. “I, uh, I’m not sleeping with you.”
Logan’s fingertips brushed the back of his hand, and the menu he held shook slightly. “Who mentioned sleep?” That low, gravelly voice sent shivers through him. “All kidding aside, I just want to talk and get to know who you really are, Ry. I don’t think we’ve ever done that.”
“Considering I’m not even sure, that’s probably going to take longer than one night.”
A wickedly charming smile tipped Logan’s lips. “I’m counting on that.”
