description: Toppling Pedestals by D.J. Manly
  The thought that there was something better out there took Tristan away…then pride almost broke his heart.
  Tristan, Samuel and Casey had been friends since grade one. When Casey—the doctor’s son—goes off to university, Samuel and Tristan are left behind in their small hometown. Samuel comes from a poor background and has no money for school. He takes a job in the hardware store that Tristan’s parents own.
  Tristan decides to work at the store for a year before joining Casey at school. He’s expected to run the store eventually but wants to explore what’s out there first. Breaking away from the town means breaking Samuel’s heart.
  When tragedy brings Tristan home again, will pride stand in the way of letting Samuel know how he feels?

  About the Author:
  
  I write not only for my own pleasure, but for the pleasure of my readers. I can't remember a time in my life when I haven't written and told stories. When I'm not writing, I'm dreaming about writing. Eroticism between consenting adults, in all its many forms is the icing on the cake of life but one does not live by sex alone. The story of how two people find love in spite of the odds is what really turns me on.
