Just Between Us

by J.H. Trumble - £11.99  Kensington Publishing (2013)
paperback    ISBN 13: 9780758277183 | ISBN 10: 0758277180

Seventeen-year-old Luke Chesser is trying to forget his spectacular failure of a love life. He practices marching band moves for hours in the hot Texas sun, deals with his disapproving father, and slyly checks out the new band field tech, Curtis Cameron. Before long, Luke is falling harder than he knew he could. And this time, he intends to play it right.
Since testing positive for HIV, Curtis has careened between numbness and fear. Too ashamed to tell anyone, Curtis can't possibly act on his feelings. And Luke - impulsive, funny, and more tempting than he realizes - won't take a hint. Even when Curtis distances himself it backfires, leaving him with no idea how to protect Luke from the truth.
 
Confronting a sensitive topic with candor and aplomb, acclaimed author J. H. Trumble renders a modern love story as sweet, sharp, and messy as the real thing, where easy answers are elusive, and sometimes the only impossible thing is to walk away.
