Simon hated school vacations. If he gambled, he’d have bet money he was one of a very, very few students who didn’t look forward to the Christmas holidays. But first off, there was no Christmas in his house, at least not since his mother was alive. She used to make sure the tree got put up and there were a few gifts under it for him. He had no idea how she managed it, because he was pretty sure The Bastard hadn’t given her any money, though it was possible she got it the same way Simon did now: by simply taking it from The Bastard’s wallet. You can find The Geek and His Artist at Amazon About The Geek and His Artist: Simon Williams spends his lunch periods drawing his geek and trying not to think about the terrors waiting for him at home. He needs to get away from his abusive father before he suffers the same grisly fate as his mother. Because he's learned the hard way running away doesn’t work, he’s counting the days until his eighteenth birthday. Jimmy Bennet should be spending his lunch studying so his senior GPA is good enough to get him into college, but he can't seem to focus thanks to his distracting artist. When he’s given the opportunity to tutor Simon in Trig and discovers Simon’s home-life nightmare, he wants nothing more than to get Simon out of danger. This need becomes more urgent when Simon comes to school the Monday after their first date with bruises, but it takes a broken leg before Jimmy can convince his boyfriend the Bennets really want him. But the danger Simon thought was past shows up at the most unexpected time, and he must stand up to the fears he’s held so long to protect not only himself, but the man he wants to spend his life with.
