Twenty Questions

2023

One unexpected kiss. Two wounded men. Twenty unanswered questions… but only one matters. When I went on vacation with my boyfriend Alex, I never expected to end up with another man’s lips on mine. My savior, fashion photographer Nino Toussaint, only intended to bring me back to life after a surfing accident nearly ended me. Still, his lips spark a connection that turns my safe world upside down by offering a lifelong friendship worth keeping, even long distance. Bogged down in a slowly suffocating relationship that oversteps my boundaries, I turn to my new friend as a breather. Doubting Nino will accept me as I am, my overthinking head turns to my favorite game, Twenty Questions, until he raises more life-altering questions. As life unravels, ghosts from the past continue waking me up at night and haunting me during the daytime. I’m willing to risk everything for a positive answer to this lingering question… Can Nino be the answer I am truly seeking? Twenty Questions is book 1 in the Foolish Games Series (M/M - Gay Contemporary Romance). Twenty Questions features a wary cinnamon roll with spicy kinks and a French Caribbean fashion photographer with trust issues, but these two are so sweet and hot together that they'll melt your heart. No cheating. No cliffhanger. And a guaranteed happy ending... It's a romance after all! Like my other stories, there's a French flair. This time, you'll get to travel to Bali, the East and West Coast of the US and France. You'll also get a bit of kink between consenting adults. The Foolish Games Series is a contemporary M/M series with interconnected stories that can be read as a standalone. Each book follows a different couple. I suggest the following reading order to better enjoy background stories and Easter eggs: - Seven Minutes In Heaven: prequel to the series (novella); James and Alex's story. An exclusive novella that's only available to my subscribers for now. - Twenty Questions: Book 1; Ash and Nino's story. - This or That: Book 2; Mike and Troy's story. Book 3 is a WIP at the moment. Stay tuned by subscribing to my newsletter or following me on social media. Twenty Questions was previously published as a novella called Lip Service as part as an anthology that's no longer available. Since then, I've expanded it to a full-length rebranded novel with new content, fresh edits, and more swoons moments between Ash and Nino.

This or That

2021

Sometimes, a kiss can knock you out faster than a blow to the head, rendering you unable to think straight. It shouldn’t have happened, but now, all bets are off. A stranger shoved his tongue down my throat. A first! The out-of-place cowboy gave me a taste of my own medicine after I stole a sloppy kiss in a Parisian club. I was out of line. He was unapologetic. My assumed straight orientation didn't erase how my body ignited under his touch. Months later, we're face-to-face again; well, mouth-to-mouth! I want to hate him. I hate to want him. So much... Troy Hunter presents two options... Not an ultimatum, just his favorite game. This? As in, explore. Or that? As in, move on. Picking one will be a challenge. For now, we can give in to our insane chemistry. We have an expiration date, so it’s better this way. But in the end, what do we really want? This or that? This or That features two hot studs that briefly appear in Omega Artist (A Cocky Hero Club novel). It's your chance to see how it all started for them. This or That is a standalone.
