    About this ebook

    Moving to Kansas City could be the best thing Austin Shelbourne has ever done. For a start, he can stop living a lie and finally come out of the closet. And there's a chance, though slim, that he might be able to locate the love of his life, Todd Burton. It had seemed like a good idea when he seduced his friend, but Todd freaked out and vanished. Austin hopes to find Todd, make things right between them, and win his love. But when he meets actor Guy Campbell, things get even more confusing.

    The moment Guy sets eyes on Austin, he knows Austin is The One. But Austin makes it clear he feels a responsibility to Todd, and Guy has some dark secrets of his own. He’s found redemption in acting and directing, but worries that if Austin learns the truth, he might not be able bear it. And what if Todd accepts Austin's apology and the love Austin offers? Guy wants Austin desperately, but he also wants him to be happy. In the play of life, with the happiness of good men in the balance, anything could happen.

    B.G. Thomas

    B.G. Thomas lives in Kansas City with his two husbands—which yes, is different, but amazingly rewarding and wonderfully romantic. They have two sweet rescue dogs named Oliver (who the breed name Dorkie applies perfectly) and Frodo (who is just learning to be a dog). He is missing his soul dog Sarah Jane very much, but she will live on forever in several of his books and in his heart. He is also blessed to have a lovely daughter and they love to hang out. B.G. loves to read romance, comedy, fantasy, thrillers, mystery, science fiction, and even horror—as far as he is concerned, as long as the stories are character driven and entertaining, it doesn’t matter the genre. He has gone to literature conventions his entire adult life, where he’s been lucky enough to meet many of his favorite writers. He has made up stories since he was a child; it’s where he finds his joy. In the nineties, he wrote for gay adult magazines but stopped because the editors wanted all sex without plot, and edited his setups right out. “The sex is never as important as the characters,” he says. “Who cares what they are doing if we don’t care about them?” Excited about the growing male/male romance market—where setup and cute meets is where it’s at—he began writing again. He submitted a novella and was thrilled when it was accepted in four days. Since then the romantic tales have poured out of him. “It’s like I’m somehow making up for a lifetime’s worth of story-telling!” “Leap, and the net will appear” is his personal philosophy and his message. “It is never too late,” he testifies. “Pursue your dreams. They will come true!” You can read about whatever he’s working on right now or whatever he’s rambling on about at his website/blog at: bthomaswriter.wordpress.com Facebook: www.facebook.com/bgthomaswriter Twitter: twitter.com/BGThomasBooks He is always happy to hear from his readers!

      'Anything Could Happen' really is the perfect title for this story. Austin leaves the small town he's grown up in with a very clear goal in mind: find Todd, the man who was his best friend until Austin seduced him and the guy ran – not for the hills, but for Kansas City. Finding him is the only thing on Austin's mind, until he meets Guy, and then… anything could truly happen.

      Austin is one confused young man who has lived his life in the closet so far. Moving to the "big city" and living with his uncle, who is also gay, opens Austin's eyes to the fact he is not alone. It also gives him options, and a set of wonderful new friends. But Austin has no idea how to deal with all of it and I enjoyed watching him figure it all out step by sometimes painful step. Todd is an obsession he has to learn how to deal with, and even though it was clear to me that Guy is the much better match for him, Austin takes his sweet time to find out.

      Guy deserves several medals for his patience, kindness, and selfless willingness to help Austin find Todd. Guy is a lot more mature than Austin in many ways, and he understands that the younger man has to figure out who is right for him all by himself. All Guy can do is stand by him and hope for the best. God, that must be hard to do! He knows it is the right thing to do in theory – but it doesn't make letting it happen any easier!

      This is a deeply character-driven story. It focuses on Austin growing up, Guy learning a few things himself, and Uncle Brodie coming to terms with his past. All three of these men have their deeply buried secrets, and as different as they may be, they are uniquely able to help each other deal with life. The romance between Austin and Guy is sweet, and bubbles under the surface a long time before Austin can free himself of the "idea of Todd" – which is all it has become while he immerses himself in his new life.

      If you like coming of age stories and men finding themselves and their destinies, if you enjoy theater and the kind of people that make it happen, and if you're looking for a slow romance that looks as if it would never take off for the longest time, then you will probably enjoy this novel.
