Of Love and Family box set by J.D. Walker

In the image are two men sharing an intimate moment. The photo is mostly in black and white, except for the center where there is a hint of color. The man on the viewer's left has pale white skin, neat, day-old facial hair, and his eyes are closed as he smiles. He is kissing the forehead of his companion. Both men are wearing black jackets and white collared shirts, their hands clasped between them. The man on the viewer's right is African-American, with dark brown skin, super-short black hair and a huge smile on his face. His eyes are closed, as well.

“You’re assuming a lot, Ashley,” I said.

“I buried that nickname years ago.” He stabbed me in the chest with a finger. “If I hear it from anyone else in town, I will punch that pretty jaw of yours.”

I smirked. “You’ll try.”

Nowhere But Home by J.D. Walker
On the cover, against a colorful background of red, yellow purple, blue and green (to imitate a painter's palate) is a handsome man with short, light brown hair combed back from is forehead, wearing a tight white short-sleeved T-shirt, hands tucked into the pockets of his blue jeans. His facial hair is trimmed close to the skin, and he stares at the viewer, with an intense look in his eyes. His body is toned and fit, and his skin tone is ivory with a hint of a tan.

Was he nervous? “I was wondering if you wanted to have coffee with me later?”

Shocked, I just stared at him, noting the red tint on his cheeks that got brighter with every second.

“No.”
