Hollywood show runner Evans McCoy’s hit TV show has just been yanked off the air thanks to its star Nora North’s spectacular drug bust. Desperate to find work to qualify for Writer’s Guild health insurance, Evans finds every door closed due to the problems associated with his show. His recent fling with mysterious and sexy Spanish businessman Mio-Alejo Cortez is heating up, however, and it’s hard to resist the lure of Mio’s invitation to visit him in Barcelona. The city’s most romantic holiday, Dia de Sant Jordi—St. George’s Day—is approaching. Mio wants Evans there for the big day when lovers traditionally exchange a book and a rose. With the memory of their scorching rendezvous and constant hot faxes from Mio teasing him, Evans is unable to turn down the invitation and lands in Barcelona, full of expectations. Evans soon learns that Mio is a man of many, many secrets and a dangerous double life. Barcelona and Mio are seductive conquerors, but when Mio’s truth emerges, Evans must decide—should he cut bait and run? With his career seemingly in tatters and Mio’s secret now his to share, Evans takes a gamble. He plunges headfirst into Mio’s world of high-class, high-stakes sex. But will Evans lose it all? Or can their relationship survive beyond the book and the rose?

The sequel to the Amber Allure best-seller, The Book And The Rose... It's been several months since Hollywood screenwriter Evans McCoy gave up his life in Los Angeles to move in with his lover, Mio, a retired gay porn star and former high-class rent boy who lives in Barcelona. Their relationship is blossoming, Evans is taking Spanish classes, and is settling in with gusto. Now, he feels love he has never had—not just from Mio, but from the man's entire family. In the back of his mind, however, Evans worries that Mio will tire of him and miss his old life...he frets that he will wind up back in L.A. with a loveless existence and a dysfunctional family that doesn't talk and never, ever eats such lavish home-cooked meals like Mama makes. Sensing his lover's restlessness, Mio fears he doesn't do enough to assure Evans of his commitment. He decides that Evans needs to forget Mio's past once and for all. Since Evans never got to experience the excitement of Mio’s hooker world as a client, Mio suggests a sexy trip for two, where he will treat his partner to a decadent, forbidden, role-playing liaison. He is happy to be Evans' call boy forever, but Evans must go along with everything Mio presents to him. At first Evans doesn't think he needs a trip, but soon changes his mind when Mio starts to unveil his erotic, kinky surprises under a sizzling April sun in Cuba...
