Once David thought he and Kieran would be together forever. But when their careers take different paths, the powerful lure of ambition pulls them apart. Thrown together again by fate and introduced as strangers, each tries to resist the spark of desire that still burns bright. But when sparks turn to flames, the resulting blaze threatens to consume them both. Afraid of future heartbreak, yet bound by love, each must find a way to convince the other that at long last, he's found His Leading Man. This short story is part of the ENCORE! ENCORE! anthology.

Librarian Note: There is more than one author in the GoodReads database with this name. See this thread for more information. (1)author of homoerotic romances Once upon a time, in a land not so far away, back before computers, before email, before the internet–Imagine that!–a book junkie was born. That was me. Fast forward three decades to a soft spring day in 1997, and find me contentedly reading my eleventy-thousandth romance novel. Sighing, I closed the book and say, “I can do that.” Voilà! A writer was born! Don’t worry, I’m not going to walk you through the intervening years day by day, project by project, rejection by rejection. A journey like that would involve far more wailing and gnashing of teeth than even I, with my flare for drama, could stand. What I will do, is tell you that over the years I have written a little of everything including: a novel-length contemporary romance, two screenplays, dozens of flash fictions and prose poems, short stories of varying lengths, novellas and most recently gay erotic romance. Gustave Flaubert said, “Be regular and orderly in your life, so that you may be violent and original in your work.” And I do. I live in a three-story Victorian with my husband, three cats and a yellow lab named Oliver. Most days I write (at least a little) and read quite a lot. As to whether my work is violently original … achieving that goal may take the rest of my regular and orderly life.
