Jake Gray always wanted a real family. He left his own behind when he began his transition, but if he wants a baby he'll need to come off testosterone and get his life in order. The tips he makes as a waiter are barely enough to pay L.A. rent, let alone raise a child. But he's made his own way for so long that he doesn't want to rely on others now. Tristan Bailey makes ends meet and then a bit extra as a B-list actor. He should count his blessings, but it's hard to see them from inside this closet. The more time he spends at his friends' charity, the less he wants to pursue this life. And then he bumps into Jake, a runner from a movie Tristan made two years ago. One he wanted to hook up with, but he didn't have the courage to ask… until now. Neither of them knows how to be loved, and while things seem to fit perfectly, Jake's unexpected pregnancy sends both men reeling. Jake always wanted to raise a child alone, but Tristan refuses to be yet another let-down in Jake's life. There's no perfect time to find love, have children, or rearrange their lives. There's only now. Can they trust each other through all the hurt both men have endured and take a chance on finding forever love? Forever is a standalone gay romance novel with a happily ever after ending.
