Waiting for a Prince (18 page)

gorgeous shape of Taylor Monroe, who runs a water sports equipment hire business. David’s a

happy man. He always writes better when there is a plentiful supply of good sex.

When Taylor first meets the Lighthouse’s newest occupant, he can almost hear the click.

David is just what Taylor needs—an older, sexy guy who is willing to share his bed, no strings, no promises. At least, that was the plan. As the two men spend more time together, Taylor finds himself growing to like the confident writer more and more. Taylor’s family like him. Taylor’s

friends like him. And then there comes the moment when Taylor realizes that maybe it’s no

longer a matter of liking David, but something a whole lot stronger.

Unfortunately, his epiphany occurs a little too late, when a visitor to the bay forces

Taylor to accept that David might be spoken for. In any case, David is leaving at the end of

September—and it looks like he’ll be taking Taylor’s heart with him…

Out September 2013.

Making it Persona
l

Blake Davis is in the closet. And he’s going to stay that way. Because if his father finds out

he’s gay, Blake could lose everything he’s worked so hard to achieve during the last six years

as CEO of Trinity Publishing, the fastest rising star in the publishing firmament. Not that

coming out wouldn’t solve a couple of problems. Maybe then his father would stop trying to

set him up with yet another empty-headed, social-climbing girlfriend. And better still, Blake

could stop using that escort agency when he wants a night of hot sex with a cute guy…

Will Parkinson has had a tough life so far, but he’s back on his feet. Okay, so he’s working as an escort – with ‘benefits’– to pay off his student loans, but that does have its advantages,

such as the really hot guy who hired him. Yeah, Blake rocked his world last night – several

times. So imagine how Will feels when he arrives to be interviewed for his dream job as PA

in a publishing company, and the guy who’s hiring is….. Blake.

And then things get really complicated….

existing. He focuses on making Collars & Cuffs, a BDSM club in Manchester’s gay village,

successful. That changes the night he and his business partner have their weekly meeting at

Severinos. Leo can’t keep his eyes off the new server. The shy man seems determined to avoid

Leo’s gaze, but that’s like a red rag to a bull. Leo loves a challenge.

Alex Daniels works at Severinos to scrape together the money to move out on his own. He

struggles with coming out, but he’s drawn to Leo, the gorgeous guy with the icy-blue eyes who’s been eating in his area nearly every night.

Leo won’t let Alex’s hesitance get in the way. He even keeps him away from the club so as not

to scare him. And as for telling Alex that Leo is a Dom? Not a good idea. One date becomes two, but date two leads to Leo’s bedroom… and Alex discovers things about himself he never

realized – and never wanted anyone to see.

Learning to Love: Michael & Sean

Sean and Michael are best friends from the minute they meet and become roommates. But after

supporting Sean in the wake of his brother’s death, Michael finds himself questioning his

sexuality and thinking about his roommate in a totally unexpected light. After all, he and Sean are straight—or so he thought. Suddenly Michael’s not so sure any more. He turns to their gay

housemate, Evan, for advice. Little does he know he’s not the only one seeking Evan’s help.

Michael and Sean are both thrilled to explore their newly discovered feelings for each other, but not everyone shares their enthusiasm. When the reality of homophobia intrudes on their

academic and personal lives and

threatens their happiness, the adversity should draw them closer. Instead, it drives a dangerous wedge between them and puts their relationship, their futures, and their health at risk.

* * * * * * * * *

Evan Wainwright’s good relationship karma is paying off. After helping his friends, Sean and Michael, discover their sexuality—and each other—Evan meets the love of his life. Their new

housemate, Daniel Collier, is everything Evan could want in a boyfriend. Now if Evan can just

work out why Daniel panics whenever Evan tries to get close.

Daniel has finally met his soul mate. Evan is perfect for him—at least, he would be, if Daniel

could find the courage to overcome his demons and leave the past behind. But his mental scars

prove difficult to heal, and Daniel struggles with his heart, even though it tells him Evan is the one.

Life in the student house goes on despite the usual interruptions: a wedding, a trial for a hate crime, a gay couple with exhibitionist tendencies. Through it all, Evan and Daniel remind themselves they are meant to be together. But until Daniel trusts Evan with the secret that’s tearing his family apart, “meant to be” is on hold.

starts seeing someone else.

Somehow Josh has to convince Chris they are perfect together. But first, he needs to figure out who has been sending Chris malicious letters, threatening him over the phone, and writing

hateful slogans across their front door—and persuade his own ex, who seems determined to win

Josh back, to get lost. In fact, Josh’s life may depend on it.

About the Author
…

Born and raised in the north-west of England, K.C.Wells always loved writing. Words were important.

Full stop. However, when childhood gave way to adulthood, the writing ceased, as life got in the way.

K.C. discovered erotic fiction in 2009, where the purchase of a ménage storyline led to the startling discovery that reading about men in love was damn hot. In 2012, arriving at a really low point in life led to the desperate need to do something creative. An even bigger discovery waited in the wings –
writing
about men in love was even hotter...

The laptop still has no idea of what hit it... it only knows that it wants a rest, please.
