About this ebook
Piper is a ballet dancer who has lost his footing—literally. Now his dreams are shot and he’s depressed enough that his best friend, Sage, lures him into a night of drinking and games. Except the game is truth or dare, and they end up doing less drinking and more confessing. Hidden secrets spill out and brazen acts draw the two men closer as they discover what really matters: if they’re winners or losers in the game of love.

Susan Laine, an award-winning, multipublished author of LGBTQ erotic romance and a Finnish native, was raised by the best mother in the world, who told her daughter time and again that she could be whatever she wanted to be. The spark for serious writing and publishing kindled when Susan discovered the gay erotic romance genre. Her book, Monsters Under the Bed, won the 2014 Rainbow Award for Best Gay Paranormal Romance. Anthropology is Susan’s formal education, and she could have been happy as an eternal student. But she’s written stories since she was a kid, and her long-term goal is still to become a full-time writer. Susan enjoys hanging out with her sister, two nieces, and friends in movie theaters, libraries, bookstores, and parks. Her favorite pastimes include singing along (badly) to the latest pop songs, watching action flicks, doing the dishes, and sleeping till noon, while a few of her dislikes are sweating, hot and too-bright summer days, tobacco smoke, purposeful prejudice and hate speech.

Sage Advice
"YOU want to play—what?"
Piper was pissed. His best friend was acting like a total loon.
Sage grinned in that cute lopsided way of his. Relax, and take a drink.
He pushed a brightly colored cocktail into Piper’s hand. You’ve been in a funk all month.
Piper growled. So, a binge night is gonna set me straight?
Straight? God, I hope not.
Sage laughed at his own joke, and Piper had to admit his own lips curled in what threatened to become a smile, even though he didn’t want that.
You’re being a total ass,
Piper complained, pouting.
I’m sensing a theme here.
Sage rubbed his temples and took on that daft fake-psychic look he had perfected over the years, pretending to read Piper’s deepest, darkest secrets. You want to… get laid.
Damn, but did he have to be right two-thirds of the time? Piper rolled his eyes and huffed. Knock it off, will you?
Sage chuckled, wrapped his arms around Piper’s slender shoulders, and squeezed gently. Aw, you’re so adorable when you get all miffed.
As always, the physical closeness with Sage gave Piper goose bumps.
They had been best friends since high school. They had been each other’s first kiss, but for the sake of their friendship, they had never gone beyond that tentative step. Sometimes Piper thought this was a blessing in disguise, but other times he felt it was a crying shame. He would never find anyone as kind, good, and wise as Sage.
Even though, at the moment, the guy had gone off his rocker for sure.
But isn’t that a… a child’s game?
Piper whined, but he could feel himself starting to give in to his best friend, like he always did. Succumbing to Sage was second nature to him by now.
Nope.
Sage shook his head, and his blond mane flew about. He epitomized an urban hippie, with his long tresses, casual clothing, and ability to knock back drinks while everyone else was already under the table. And those sky blue eyes… oh God, yes. Piper sighed. His dream man with those kinds of eyes sure was keeping him waiting. "That game would be a snap for a kid ’cause they don’t know any better, and they have no guile or secrets like adults do. They wouldn’t know what to ask, so they’d
