Free To Be: Branson by A.M. Arthur

Branson Cross understands the price of fame, and he knows his place in the infamous Cross family: the stoic older brother. A place that’s starting to chafe under its constraints, especially as Branson watches his younger friends and siblings find their true loves. He doesn’t understand why he’s so different from everyone he knows, even his beta colleagues…not until a fortuitous conversation with much-older family friend, Tarius Higgs.
At almost forty years old, paralegal Tarius Higgs has accepted life as a chronically-single person, and he fills his time with work and being the dutiful middle son to his aging father, stepfather, and four siblings. He’s known Branson Cross for most of Branson’s life, but it takes a chance, frank discussion of their sexuality for a close friendship to blossom. A best-friendship that helps both men through various crises in their brothers’ lives, and that slowly, organically turns to love.
But the past always has a way of screaming back into the present. When a long-buried truth upends everything Branson thought he knew about himself, new relationships strengthen as old ones fracture. Difficult choices put Branson and Tarius on a new path fraught with grief and change…and support, devotion, and a future filled with love.
A future where both men are free to be who they were always meant to be.
