Overview

Sam is a young man on the move—back to Mom and Dad’s house. After hitting rock bottom in the big city, he’s vowed to quit drinking and turn his life around. But with a father in chemotherapy and a mother on the verge of an emotional breakdown, there’s times when Sam just needs to escape it all. Wandering along the river one night, he bumps into Nathan—a stranger with a cool, quiet attitude, a delicious body, and sexual skills to match.

It’s not long before Nathan and Sam are hooking up on the regular. Only there’s something strange about Sam’s new squeeze—he’s awfully reluctant to discuss his past. And when Sam learns that Nathan is actually an ex-con with a DUI conviction, their relationship looks like it could be over before it even gets started.

Sam never intended to be cruel to Nathan. But he’s got big reservations about dating an convicted felon. And if he ever wants things to work out, Sam will need to find the courage to look past Nathan’s history, and into his heart—and realize that you don’t need to be a perfect person to fall in love.

Blending steamy encounters with realistic romance, Someone Like You is Nate Tanner’s newest short novel. It features explicit adult situations and is not suitable for those under 18.
