Make Waves

By Lori L. Otto

On a humid, spring morning in New York City, the love affair between a young man and his hometown began to fade with the notification of favorable surf conditions on the other side of the country and a breakfast of leftover guac on stale bread.Max Scott has been waiting for a sign to leave ever since.He's not worried about his family and friends. They won't be roadblocks to his relocation; they barely missed him while he put in four years at Long Beach State. And his job? Crash test dummies are treated better. They probably get paid more, too.But things are happening that make it difficult to leave anytime soon. There's his mother. After finally getting clean, cancer took up residence in her body, and she doesn't have much time left. Max won't leave her behind.There's Callen, his boyfriend of seven years. Next summer, he's set to take over his dad's company, which is based in Manhattan. That could create a 3,000-mile complication.There's the state of the country. After four repressive years, a standout candidate for president is a senator based in NYC. He's younger, single and gay. Max is inspired to help elect the nation's first queen.Hiding the restlessness bubbling just beneath the surface, Max finds himself caught between a placid routine of the life he's accustomed to and the wild, raging curiosity of what's waiting on the other side.He just needs that push off the deep end.Make Waves is the first in a two-book duet.Author's Note: Before reading this book, it is recommended that you at least read the following books: Love Like We Do (side a), Love Like We Do (side b), (It Happened) One Friday and In the Wake of Wanting.
