Liam Grady is the owner of the Feathered Quill, a quirky little bookstore in Asheville, and—though he doesn’t realize it yet—a dream walker. His last relationship failed almost a year ago, and he’s not had the interest or nerve to pursue anyone he’s met since.
Cameron Danu is a tattoo artist from rural Georgia. Cameron is left without a job after his boss, Jose, is forced to close the shop after a heart attack. When Cameron learns Jose has set up an interview for him at a small tattoo parlor in Asheville, he hopes for a fresh start in a new town.
Fate brings Cameron and Liam together, and they realize they’ve met before—in their dreams. A chance encounter and a winged tattoo might lead them to their destiny—if fear doesn’t turn their dreams into a nightmare.
Two days later, Liam stood in a kitchen he knew, but he was uncertain how
he had ended up there. He looked around and found Cam bent over, rummaging in
the fridge, his pert little butt in nothing but a pair of tight boxer briefs.
Liam groaned as he moved closer to Cam and slid his hands over the smooth
cotton, feeling the tight muscles beneath flex as Cam jumped and spun around.
“Dammit, Lee, don’t sneak up on me like that,” Cam groused, though the
pout was ruined when the edges of his lips turned up in a small smile.
“Sorry, beautiful, but how could I resist such a tempting and delicious
offering?”
“Uh-uh. Stroking the ego won’t help you this time.”
Liam smirked and slid one hand down to lightly rub up and down Cam’s
length. Cam’s eyes closed as a low moan slipped out. His hips pushed forward,
his body begging for touch. “Your ego wasn’t what I had in mind, baby.”
“Oh, God, Liam. Please,” Cam begged. He threaded one hand into Liam’s
hair and tugged him down until their lips met in a hard clashing of teeth,
tongue, and yum.
Liam slipped one hand inside Cam’s briefs, then wrapped his fingers
around the hard shaft that had been hiding within. He pulled and stroked the
hot, hard flesh as he continued to kiss Cam as if he hadn’t touched Cam in
ages. He wanted Cam so bad he couldn’t think straight.
He captured the moans Cam let out as they continued to devour each other,
relishing each one as if it were his first and last ever. Liam clutched at
Cam’s hip, desperate for his lover’s touch. He ripped his mouth away, panting
for breath, never letting up on his slow pumping of Cam’s cock.
“So prefect,” he panted, relishing the little mewling sounds Cam made
every time Liam skated his fingers over Cam’s cockhead, how Cam’s eyes were
blown wide in desire.
“I need you in me, Lee. I don’t wanna wait….”
Liam grabbed Cam’s briefs and tore them off his tight little body,
desperate to be back inside his Cam.
After slamming Cam against the wall, Liam kicked Cam’s feet apart before he
dropped to his knees and swallowed Cam whole.
Cam screamed, but Liam didn’t care. He was going to take everything Cam
offered and then some! Setting a fast pace, he bobbed up and down on Cam’s
straining cock, making it wet and slippery. Using some of the excess wetness,
he slipped his fingers behind Cam’s balls, rubbing them along Cam’s taint until
he reached Cam’s tight hole. Teasing and tapping Cam’s needy entrance, Liam
shivered as precome squirted on his tongue, the taste making him even harder
than before.
Shaking above him, Cam pushed back against Liam’s
fingers, begging with both words and action for exactly what Liam wanted to
give.
“I found it a beautiful tale of unhappiness changed to romance and then love with a happy ending.”
—Rainbow Book Reviews, on “Designs of Desire”
“Designs of Desire is a tough realistic book that is touched by violence countered by the growing love between the two heroes.”
—Sensual Reads, on “Designs of Desire”
“It paints a stunning image of rebirth as Deacon and Kaden's relationship begins to unfurl, like a rose as it opens its petals to the sun.”
—Carly’s Book Reviews, on “Caged Sanctuary”
“This is my favorite in this series so far. I love seeing how these characters are growing, all of them. As individuals, as couples, as friends, and as a family.”
—MM Good Book Reviews, on “Desires’ Guardian”
“The writer did an excellent job with the characters, they are likable and perfect. Not perfect in the way that they have no flaws, but in a way that they grab you and complement each other.”
—Love Bytes Reviews, on “Temptations of Desire”
“Tempeste created an amazing world for these paranormal species. I got lost in the story and wondering how all the pieces wove together.”
—Molly Lolly, on “Whiskers of a Chance”

First off I have to say Wow that is a beautiful cover!!! I've always have those de je vú moments only realize I had dreamed that moment weeks or even years before. But never have I ever seen the people's faces in my dream. I think i'd be shocked if I met someone from my dream so much so my jaw would hit the floor! And I guess depending on the feeling I get from them and how receptive they are to things like that I would definitely tell them because of course there has to be a reason for them to be there.
ReplyDeleteI'd probably think I'd lost my mind if I'd met someone I'd thought was only real in my dreams. Or maybe I'd think it was someone I'd met before & didn't remember well. Most of the time the people in my dreams are ones I already know or knew in the past.
