Like No One by TA Nieman - Distant Words Publishing

Growing up in a small town didn't give Nathan the chance to really understand who he was, how to manage his anxieties, or how to handle his mother leaving when he was young. One thing he did figure out only happened because he fell in love with his best friend. His unattainable best friend. That was anxiety inducing enough, how was he supposed to get through college and life without having a partner?

Jayden loves his best friend probably more than anyone. There are weird situations that cause him to wonder if he is gay as well, but the hardest part of his life was Nathan's anxiety - or at least how Nathan managed it. Jayden may be falling without realizing it, but he wants Nathan healthy more than anything. Can he come to terms with his sexuality and help his best friend at the same time?
