Boy in the Lake by Rachel Kane

Fame, fortune and respect were his for the taking. The boy in the water was not.

Daniel Power gave up everything for his goal of helping people as a motivational life coach. It’s so important to him, he has put everything else in his life on the backburner. Even love. And now his moment has come: He’s hosting a life-changing retreat, and there’s a television producer in the audience who can bring him an audience of millions, if Daniel can impress him.

There’s just one problem: The producer’s son. When Daniel first sees Aidan Vance emerging from the lake, sun-dappled and beautiful, he takes Daniel’s breath away. Daniel knows he shouldn’t look. Knows he can’t touch. But from that moment, Daniel realizes there’s something missing from his life.

Aidan has something missing from his life, too. Hiding himself in big flannel shirts and hoodies, hoping no one will see him, he’s scared to admit that he’s gay, scared of what his family will do. His stepfather dragged him to this retreat to fix him…and to spy on Daniel’s methods.

But Daniel and Aidan’s private sessions together turn into something more than therapy. The age difference makes Aidan dangerous. If anyone finds out, Daniel’s career is over. But how can they keep things a secret when Aidan’s manipulative, producer stepfather keeps such a close eye on his every move? And what will Daniel be willing to give up, when the time comes to choose between wealth, fame, respect–and the love of a boy who needs him more than anything?
