Before Gold: The Way We Were BOX SET


Before Gold is a prequel to the Solid Gold series. Take a peek into the lives of these two troubled teenagers, across their tragic beginnings into adulthood. The journey you’re about to embark on provides insight into the complex personalities of the main characters and the development of the strong interdependence between them. Bill struggles with his feelings for Arden, who tries very hard to make things difficult for him for his own personal needs. Watch as Bill grapples with his emotions, and learns to deal with Arden's trifling mischief making behavior.

William Young, a.k.a. Bill, meets runaway Arden Goodman at a bus shelter, while doing his volunteer work providing food, blankets, and offering shelter to runaway teens. A legacy handed down to him by his mentor and friend Jacob. There is an instant connection between the teenagers and they soon became firm friends. A bond, which appears unbreakable due to the strong, complex need they have for each other.

As they mature their differences and similarities become more visible. Arden is shrewd and manipulative, always watching for signs that his manipulative techniques are working. Bill is subtle, caring and protective. Yet both men have a dark side, as compelling as it is frightening. However, Bill shows tremendous self-control and does the right thing as long as he has Arden to guide. When he loses Arden, that self-control slips and he becomes unpredictable.

If you’ve read Lost Gold and Stolen Treasure, Before Gold is the foundation these stories were built on. Each book of the series stands alone and highlights different chapters in the young men's lives and the struggles they faced together.

JAE says:

I write contemporary and paranormal gay romance. Because I believe there should be no barriers to love. Not to mention, I’m a soppy romantic and the sight of two people happy and obviously in love despite their gender makes me smile.

I live in London UK. I love animals and have a dog, cat and hamster living with me. I’d live in a zoo, if I wasn’t worried about being arrested and eaten by lions. I enjoy vacationing in the sun and go on as many holidays as I can.

    I really enjoy reading m m romance and I enjoyed these two with all their issues. They had good chemistry. There were a lot of errors. Overall I enjoyed all three books.

    This book's a prequel to the Gold series and I loved it. There's a good back and forth between the main characters that makes their gay romance believable. It's hard action, BDSM and romance all in one

    5.0 out of 5 stars A very different spin
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on September 3, 2015
    A very different spin in what i suspected to be a common story idea.

    These days, many gay erotica authors follow similar story lines leading to a predictable outcome. However in this story, Jae Jordon explores the different avenues offered in gay erotica in an unpredictable yet well written way. Very easy to read, well written, and a taste of something different in exploring alternative sexual activities and the BDSM scene aside from the usual silk scarf bondage.

    Will definitely buy more from this author in the future, and look forward to his future work.
