About High Test
The coffee is rich. Hayden isn't. But Neal doesn't need to know that—yet.
Hayden Owens is just your typical graduate student working his way through school as a barista for the Owens Coffee Company—no relation. But he keeps the “no relation” part to himself when he meets dashing architect, Neal Kirchner, a successful older man from an old-money family. Hayden doesn’t exactly lie, but he figures it can’t hurt for Neal to believe he’s a rich kid. After all, Hayden doesn’t want Neal thinking he’s a gold digger.
The closer they become, the harder it gets for Hayden to come clean. Something always seems to get in the way. When a company bankruptcy and a jilted, vindictive woman threaten to expose his charade, Hayden thinks it’s all gone down the drain. Luckily Neal is ready with some innocent trickery of his own.
“Your car is a real classic,” Neal said. He ran one hand appreciatively over the car’s hood before he turned and leaned against the side, preventing Hayden from escaping his humiliation by getting inside and speeding away.
Scuffing the toe of his Chucks along the ground, Hayden shrugged. “It’s a lot prettier on the inside. I like the classics and having something to work on.”
Neal took both of Hayden’s hands. “I’ve always liked Chevys. They’re well-made cars. It must be satisfying being able to do the restorations.”
Hayden blinked at Neal. This guy continued to impress Hayden with his kindness. Despite his obvious success, he was down-to-earth. Stepping forward, Neal let go of one of Hayden’s hands and slipped his arm around Hayden’s waist, gently tugging Hayden against him.
Hayden sighed deeply and relaxed against Neal. He enjoyed the feeling of Neal’s arm, strong and sure, around him. Without giving it any thought, he leaned forward and pressed more firmly against Neal, shivering slightly when he felt Neal’s hard cock through the material of his trousers.
“I think that was one of the most delightful dinner dates I’ve ever had,” Neal murmured. His other hand cupped Hayden’s face, and he used his thumb to caress Hayden’s cheek. “We never decided what day would be best for the car show.”
“I… um….” Hayden was distracted by Neal’s warm breath on his skin.
Neal dipped his head and licked along Hayden’s lower lip a few times before capturing him in a kiss. At the same time, he pulled Hayden even more tightly against him and ran his hand slowly up and down Hayden’s spine. Hayden opened his lips, inviting Neal to go further. He took that invitation, running his tongue over Hayden’s a few times. When Hayden trembled, Neal’s embrace tightened even more.

Meet the Author
Mystery, action, chills and thrills spiced with romance and desire. Elizabeth Noble started telling stories before she actually knew how to write, and her family was very happy when she learned to put words on a page. Those words turned into books and fanfiction that turned into a genuine love of M/M romance fiction. Being able to share her works with Dreamspinner is really a dream come true. She has a real love for a good mystery complete with murder and twisty plots as well as all things sci-fi, futuristic, and supernatural and a bit of an unnatural interest in a super-volcano in Wyoming.
Elizabeth has three grown children and is now happily owned by an adorable mixed breed canine princess and her sidekick, tabby cat. She lives in her native northeast Ohio, the perfect place for gardening and winter and summer sports (go Tribe and Cavs!) and stargazing all year long. When she’s not writing she’s working as a veterinary nurse, so don’t be surprised to see her men with a pet or three who are a very big part of their lives.
Elizabeth received several amateur writing awards. Since being published several of her novels have received Honorable Mentions in the Rainbow Awards. Jewel Cave was a runner up in the Gay Mystery/Thriller category in the 2015 Rainbow Awards. Ringed Love was a winner in the Gay Fantasy Romance category of the 2016 Rainbow Awards.
