  <about><![CDATA[I have always loved to write. My work began as a romantic exploration of the BDSM life style, and then veered somewhat to the darker side of fantasy. I was able to delve into &quot;rough stuff&quot;, things that compelled me in the abstract, though I wouldn't necessarily want to experience them. My current work has returned to the more romantic inclinations of consensual submission. <br/><br/>I began writing m/m erotic romance with the debut of Golden Boy four years ago, and, over 20 m/m novels later, have no plans whatsoever of stopping! Pop over to my website to see what all I've got. I do some readings on the site too, and there's even a radio interview where I reveal ALL...!]]></about>

    <![CDATA[High-powered stock trader. Simple handyman. Can they find common ground? <br/><br/>Will Spencer is a player with a reputation for using and discarding lovers as easily as he earns big money on Wall Street. Handsome, sexy and openly gay, he’s used to having whatever—and whoever—he wants at the snap of his fingers.<br/><br/>And what he wants now is his new handyman, Jack Crawford. But Jack is skittish. One lingering touch, one stolen kiss could send the older man into full retreat. Where Will might have quickly moved on to a more ready-and-willing partner, he unexpectedly finds himself wanting to go slow. With just a little coaxing, he’s sure he can show Jack how good it could be between them.<br/><br/>Jack, a recent widower, never thought of himself as gay. Frightened years ago by an erotic encounter with his best friend, he focused firmly on his marriage. Now that his bed is empty, however, those deep sexual longings are rising dangerously close to the surface.<br/><br/>Their connection is deep, instant, and one that Jack tries to ignore. Yet friendship grows into an erotic journey that must cross a divide of different generations, backgrounds and worlds.<br/><br/>The prize is the one thing neither is sure he can handle—true love.<br/><br/>Warning: Hot, delicious male/male erotic romance. Danger: Explicit m/m sex.]]>

    <![CDATA[Mark Harrison has exactly what Nolan Daniels wants—his signature on a sign-in sheet. Even better that Mark is gay and seriously good-looking. Nolan’s got these one hundred hours of community service nailed, just as soon as he nails the handsome doctor. It’s his pride that takes a hit when Mark rejects his advances in no uncertain terms. What else did Nolan expect from a man of privilege? Certainly not that Nolan would want Mark more than he wanted Mark’s signature. <br/><br/>Mark’s the good boy who always plays by the rules, always does what’s expected of him...and secretly chafes at the restrictions of his straight-laced life. Now he’s faced with the leather-jacketed bad boy who arouses the closeted Mark more than he wants to admit. A man he can’t resist. A man who helps him admit other things about his not-so-perfect life. <br/><br/>It’s time to take a stand. Time to burst the protective bubble each has built around himself in his own way. Little do they realize that moving forward could also cause them to lose each other and the love that has grown between them.]]>

    <![CDATA[Johnny Wilson has never been in love. Though women adore his golden-blond good looks, he never seems to connect. Still trying to convince himself he's straight when he checks out a local gay bar, one look at the handsome stranger is enough to set his heart on fire. Half-acknowledged fantasies and dangerous dreams are challenged as Johnny finally faces his own secrets.    <br/>Eric Mendez, the handsome, much-sought-after Dom in the BDSM gay Manhattan scene, is used to getting just exactly what he wants with a snap of his fingers and a glance from his smoldering eyes. When he first lays eyes on Johnny Wilson, he assumes he's just another pretty boy cruising the clubs for a good time. When Johnny disappears without a trace, he unknowingly takes a piece of Eric's heart with him.    Sizzling passion and hidden yearnings to experience the ultimate submission at the hands of another man are brought to the fore in this explicit but romantic exploration of a gay D/s lifestyle. Johnny must come to grips not only with his sexual orientation, but must also find the courage to submit in a loving exchange of power.    <br/><br/>Rekindle your love affair with Johnny Wilson and Eric Méndez in this sequel to Golden Boy. Golden Man continues Johnny's journey of self-discovery as a gay submissive. Moving past the near-disaster at the gay BDSM club, Johnny strives to please his dominant lover while coming to terms with his family's disapproval of his lifestyle and his fledgling confidence in the scene. Eric, Johnny's sexy Latino lover, must deal with his own issues of trust and commitment.    <br/>Together they continue to explore their erotic exchange of power with Johnny eager to press his own sensual envelope as Eric learns to intertwine tenderness with the intensity of discipline. The lovers are tested when a man from Eric's past returns to tempt him, while a sexy artist with designs on Johnny makes him wonder if he has what it takes to commit to just one man. Ultimately this is a love story set against the backdrop of disapproving family and temptation from would-be players in the scene. As the exchange of power deepens to a true exchange of love, each man must confront his fear of giving away the thing he holds most precious his heart.]]>

    <![CDATA[Writer by day, sub for hire by night. Blond, built and as hot as they come, Josh knows his dream of D/s romance has no place in the dungeons where he bares his body for any Master's whim.<br/><br/>Michael, piercing blue eyes, movie-star smile and compelling Dom persona, can have any man he wants with the snap of his fingers. On an impulse he checks out Dungeon Dreams, known for its stable of hot male submissives. Though the scene is controlled, &quot;slave j&quot; reacts with an unexpected passion to the kiss of Michael's whip and his sensual touch. Slave j's intense response steals Michael's breath, but he's determined to forget the green-eyed man since by definition their &quot;relationship&quot; can never be more than a game.<br/><br/>Josh — his body, imagination and perhaps a piece of his heart—is captured by the sexy Dom. He finds his carefully compartmentalized world crumbling. Somehow he must face and conquer his desire for a man he might never see again, one who regards him only as a sub for hire.]]>

Torn and confused by expectations and self-imposed constraints, Donovan must find the courage to go where his heart leads him. Sam can only wait with quiet longing, praying the love they have shared will be strong enough to survive away from their secret tropical paradise.]]>

    <![CDATA[Attending a wedding with his ex-lover wasn't the smartest thing Ben had ever agreed to do since Carl could really be a horse's behind, but one look at David, the groom's best man, and he was willing to change his mind. The man was sex personified and it was apparent he was used to conquering his lovers with his masculine appeal and confident, sexy manner.<br/><br/>David is an actor-model, happy to play the scene, definitely not looking for love. Ben is a New York stock research analyst, more than likely a man interested in a discussion of stock-market trends, the latest high-finance maneuvers or who was embezzling from whom. David was willing to play since Ben's looks intrigued him but he didn't see anything in the future for them. They were worlds apart, right?<br/><br/>Wrong. Ben and David fall for the intoxicating allure of hot, steamy nights neither can resist nor control. Too bad Carl decides he's not ready give Ben up to David. If he can't have him, no one will.]]>

    <![CDATA[It started as a joke. Several guys burned by love decided to create a club that they dubbed the Solitary Knights - promising each other they would have nothing to do with love, preferring to play the field and keep their hearts intact.<br/><br/>One night, Drew Kensington, owner of the pub where the guys meet, issues a challenge, &quot;Why don't you find that one guy - the one that got away, the one you've never quite let fade from your dreams? Track him down. Reconnect. Then come back here and tell us what you found out.&quot; <br/><br/>Eric Moore seeks out the guy who had been his college lover, the one who had promised to wait forever for Eric to return, but Eric never did... until now. The man he discovers isn't the boy he left behind so long ago... Will finding Chandler mean finding love at last?]]>
