Nate

2023

Growing up in the foster care system is any kids worst nightmare. Especially so for Nate, who didn’t tick any of the traditional boxes. That all changed for him the day he met Ms. Leta. Now, following in her footsteps, Nate has his own brood of foster children and a thriving landscaping business. He thinks he has everything he needs. Mattie learned young to appreciate solitude. As the only child of dazzling but absentee parents, he hadn’t much choice. It was the price he paid for a seemingly dream lifestyle, multi-million dollar home, staff to tend to his every whim, and never having to work a day in his life. Until that is, his parents found out that he was romantically interested in other men. Cast out and now living in a run-down seaside cottage he inherited from an uncle he barely knew, learning to fend for himself financially, things are very different for Mattie. But when Nate and his kids quite literally crash into Mattie’s life, he's completely unprepared for what it brings. Can Mattie learn to love the chaos this unorthodox family brings? Or will he resurrect the walls that have surrounded him all his life?

Tress

2023

After losing his police officer husband in a line of duty shooting, Tress Covey-Fox fled the big city for a quieter life in the seaside community of Gaynor Beach. It’s the perfect place to raise their daughter and grow his real estate business… if only a certain sexy engineer would stop showing up at his job sites. As tempting as Logan’s blue eyes might be, Tress has no interest in ever risking his heart again. But when Delaney’s biological mother shows up in town threatening to shatter the life he’s built, Tress will do anything to keep his family together, no matter how ridiculous the idea sounds. Civil engineer Logan Gentry always knew he wanted to settle in Gaynor Beach once he discharged from the Navy, and that was before he met the new developer in town. Although Tress insists he doesn’t do relationships anymore, when his attorney suggests a two-parent household would look better to the court, Logan is more than happy to play along, because he knows the spark between them is real even if the relationship isn’t. Tress is a slow burn, fake it ‘til you make it MM romance with moderate angst and is part of the Single Dads of Gaynor Beach series.

Elouise East

Author · 46 books

Elouise East writes sweet and steamy connections in gay romance. She also touches on taboo stories under the name Elouise R East. Books that tell the stories where friendship and family are the focal point - be it blood family or chosen - are very important to her. That’s why she includes a variety of personalities, talents, ages, situations and abilities as she believes a story or character needs. She wants her characters to be real, to be relatable, to be free to have whatever views they tell her they have. And trust her, most of the time, she does not have any say in the matter! Her characters come to life on the page for her as well as her readers. Their stories unfold in front of her as she writes, and she has very little input into how they want to be shown. Just like real life, the lives of her characters change with every choice, every interaction and every conversation. And she wouldn’t have it any other way. She writes books that are emotionally realistic, even if liberties are taken with other aspects of the stories. She doesn’t know any other way to write. It comes from deep inside. Who is she? A single parent to two children living in the UK. An avid reader who still tries to devour every book she can get her hands on. A student of learning about any subject that takes her fancy. An author of books she would read herself. And a romantic at heart who loves anything cheesy. Who’s joining her on her journey?
