Graphic with heading Beta readers wanted - volunteer or swap. Looking for beta readers for my upcoming release, Golden Boy - a coming of age narrative with MM romance sub-plot and conventional HEA. Happy to swap for anything in a similar genre - MM romance or contemporary. Below shows mockup of book cover, front and back. Front is a lion's head in profile with a sunburst background, with text saying Golden Boy/He had it all. He wanted more./M.E. Samm. Back cover has Golden Boy as heading and full blurb below: Born in the near future, Barry Hawkins is the oldest child among several families living on a large, idyllic estate. Fearless and precocious, he leads the children, charms the adults, and rules his little world. His future seems as wide as the sky, as bright as the sun. But life in this strange, cult-like compound is complex. The adults here live by their own rules, navigating networks of power-based relationships. Barry witnesses the tangled dynamics around him, where men trade dominance, submission and service, and his curiosity grows. Can he access the power and influence around him? Can he play in this world – and win? As he leaves his childhood behind, Barry must make his own choices about where he fits in the world, what he’s looking for, and who he wants to be. A coming-of-age journey where mistakes are made and trust is mislaid; where not every relationship is the right one, but the happy ending may be found where it’s least expected. Queer normative environment, large non-romanticized age gap, closed-door D/s, low spice, off-screen addictions, adults behaving badly, childhood friends to lovers.

I couldn't understand the tears that had suddenly drenched my cheeks. Or why, when Tiran saw my face and put an arm around my shoulders to give me a quick reassuring squeeze, I had to choke back sobs. He didn't say anything else, just stood back against the railing across from me and smoked, waiting quietly till I managed to calm down.
It was an exciting time for me, at least at first. I enjoyed all the new people – the kids in my class, the teachers, the extended school community. In particular, I was curious about the girls my own age, who were in such short supply at home and consequently somewhat mysterious to me. The other students accepted me readily – everyone from jock to theatre kid was fascinated by my past and happy to include me in their social circle.
GOLDEN BOY. He had it all. He wanted more. [Pitch:] Born in the near future, Barry Hawkins is the oldest child in a group of families living on a large, idyllic estate. Fearless and precocious, he leads the children, charms the adults, and rules his little world. His future seems as wide as the sky, as bright as the sun. But life in the strange, cult-like compound where he lives is complex. At its centre is one of the world’s wealthiest men, a Dom who surrounds himself with friends, employees, subs and lovers. Barry witnesses the intricate dynamics between these men – the way they trade power, control, love and surrender – and his curiosity grows. Does he have what it takes to play these games -- and win? As he leaves his childhood behind, Barry must make his own choices about where he fits in the world, what he’s looking for, and who he wants to be. Childhood leaves an indelible mark on all of us. Whatever we do, wherever we run, the life we live first shapes the person we become.

As we walked toward the water, I could see Jimmy on the main lawn with one of the outside workers, who was gesticulating forcefully at him. When Jimmy first told us he was going to be Tiran’s “property manager” it had sounded like a made-up position to us – how could it possibly be a full-time job to look after the land someone lived on? Back then we’d had no sense of the scale of Tiran’s estate, and poor Jimmy now seemed in way over his head. We barely saw him these days.
