Pinky Swear - La série

Lane and Matt have been best friends since they were ten years old. They’ve been through everything together—childhood adventures in their New Orleans uptown neighborhood, Lane’s stuttering, Matt’s alcoholic father, high school angst, and "coming out" in college. All through the years, they’d shared secrets and, using the powerful pinky swear, vowed to keep every one of them. But neither Lane nor Matt ever told each other his biggest secret—that they were in love with each other. For Lane, Matt was everything he wasn’t—gorgeous, sexy and outgoing. He had a different boyfriend every week, and Lane couldn’t get a date, let alone the man of his dreams. For Matt, he could never measure up to Lane, never be good enough for the man who set his heart on fire. Neither wanted to risk the deep friendship they shared to find out if the other felt more. Yet after one night of incredible drunken passion, Lane woke up to find Matt gone and a note saying he was sorry and not much more. Four years later and half a country separated, one fateful storm, Hurricane Katrina, brings the old friends together again. But four years is a long time, and Lane’s grown up, matured, more sure of himself than ever. When Matt rushes home from the West Coast to find the friend he loved and fled, he discovers not just the man he left behind, but a man who knows what he wants—a best friend and a lover who won’t run, who’ll stay forever. Now, it’s up to Matt to make the pinky swear...

When Matt decided to film a documentary about gay men living in New Orleans over the last 50 years, his first subject is his and his lover Lane's landlord, the elegant Sebastian LaGrange. Sebastian agrees, and as his life's story unfolds, part of the mystery of who he is is revealed. Sebastian has been a mentor and friend to Matt and Lane, and even at his age, he still has something to teach them about love.

Sequel to Amber Allure’s Best Seller Pioneers... Sebastian LaGrange is a distinguished man of a certain age. He’s quite content to spend his days worrying about his dear renters Lane and Matt, and to spend his days in his French Quarter cottage. Life is good. Comfortable. Predictable. But when he meets Raymond Chou, a man with an accent that gives him goose bumps and makes him think of younger days, he’s completely thrown off. Is Raymond serious? Is he really courting Sebastian? And is Sebastian seriously thinking of letting him? Raymond is everything Sebastian could want in a lover, but is Sebastian too afraid of love to give Ray a chance? After all, at their age, they aren’t supposed to fall in love, are they?
