Unforgiven by Ruth Clampett Publication Date: March 9th, 2017 Genre: Contemporary Romance Would you live a lie to hold onto the one you love? Dean and Jason are best friends, like brothers since boyhood, now architecture students and college roommates. They’ve always had each other’s back, but when one walks in on the other with another man, everything changes. How do you explain to your best friend that he’s the one you’ve always wanted, that until now your life has been a lie? Desperation and shame are two dirty words that run through Jason’s veins. He carries the scars from a wayward priest who stole his innocence and left him shattered. Meanwhile for years he’s watched Dean pursuing woman after woman, as his own heart slowly breaks. When their world blows apart, they learn the powerful bond between them has more fire than either understood. Can two broken souls find the light in their darkness and come together to make a whole, or will sins of the past be forever unforgiven? ***This standalone is a M/M love story with graphic sex. Trigger warning.*** 
Jason Sorentino has been in love with Dean for as long as he can remember. He was always the one to support his dreams unconditionally and became his true family when his mother chose the church over her only child.
Now on the verge of college graduation, Jason longs to reveal his true self and the painful secret that has haunted him for so long. He refuses to think of what his life would be like if Dean wasn’t in it and resigns himself to the fact that they will never be anything more. But what if there is a chance that they could be? I’d do anything to have him, but it has to be more than fucking around because if it isn’t the whole package, I don’t think my heart will survive.
Dean Whitley is the All-American boy. He’s known around campus as a player on and off the field. His friendship with Jason has always been his one constant but lately there seems to be a storm brewing just under the surface.
Finding Jason in a more than compromising position with another guy has made him question everything – even himself. Giving in to his desire for Jason is easy but where they go from there is nothing but complicated. Can they turn one night into forever or will Jason’s shame set him on a path of self-destruction that not even Dean can save him from? He stands frozen, every part of him perfectly still, and then he gasps for air. “Please, Dean, please tell me you aren’t toying with me.”
In Unforgiven, Ruth delivers a one-of-a-kind love story that is as stunning as it is starkly real. Jason and Dean’s journey is one of self-discovery, acceptance and faith - in love and finally in each other.
You will feel rage and you may even shed some tears. But in the end, you will believe that love does indeed triumph over hate. And that is something that the world can use so much more of…
