BLURB
Gabe D’Angelo has it all.
Designer clothes, luxury cars, a cool confidence most would envy, and a
never-ending supply of money—and men. When he arrived in Haven’s Cove to be
there for his best friend, he never imagined he’d end up extending his stay
indefinitely. Small town living isn’t so bad after all, and the views are
magnificent—especially the view of a sexy, rugged blond. But when that
mysterious, brooding man refuses all Gabe’s advances, he is forced to take a
step back and truly look at the person he’s become.
Nate Black moved from Boston
to Haven’s Cove for his family. He’s missed small town living and the simple,
tranquil life that comes with it. What he doesn’t bargain for is the pushy,
spoiled playboy who’s set his eyes on Nate as his next conquest. Knowing this
man has the potential to crack the foundation of his quiet life, Nate will do
everything he can to protect his safe, closed-off world.
Is one man worth loving? Is
the other worth the sacrifice? Or is the love they’re searching for not just
hard to get but completely out of reach?
EXCERPT
Gabe sighed again, rolling
his eyes. “My God, did the four of you have a Nate Protection Plan meeting I
wasn’t invited to? I assure you, I’m harmless. I’m also pretty sure that Nate
is a grown man who doesn’t need protection—unless it’s a condom. Then I fully
condone it and will even offer my services in the Sheathing Department.” Gabe
winked. “He can thank me later.” He held the beer bottle in the crook of his
left arm and patted Jonah’s cheek. “Wish me luck.” Then he walked around Jonah
and headed for his target.
Nate didn’t disappoint
tonight; that was for sure. The guy made a pair of jeans the sexiest material
ever to fit on a man’s strong body. Long legs, strong muscled thighs,
unmistakable well-endowed bulge covered in denim. It made Gabe want to get down
on his knees and find out what hid beneath the denim—with his tongue. Nate’s
broad chest was screaming to be released from the tightly stretched black
cotton T-shirt. Tell me the man doesn’t know what he’s doing to me in that
outfit?
“You’re staring.” Two
plump, well-defined lips uttered the words—none too kindly—and Gabe blinked,
snapping out of his stupor.
Shit, was there drool on
his chin? He’d been undressing the man with his eyes. “Sorry, bad habit.
Another beer?” Gabe held up the bottle to Nate, and as he expected, was quickly
shot down.
“No, thanks,” Nate said,
obviously irritated, not even looking in Gabe’s direction.
“Tell me, Mr. Black, do you
have a problem with all tall, dark, and handsome men, or is it just me who ruffles
that blond hair of yours?” Gabe asked. His voice was low and seductive as he
moved in a little closer to Nate.
Nate turned his face to
look at Gabe and snickered. “Tell me, Mr. D’Angelo, do you have a problem with
rejection in general, or is it just the fact that I’m not interested
that rubs your conceited ego the wrong way?”
Touché.
Gabe smiled wickedly and
moved a little closer, letting his hot breath caress Nate’s ear as he
whispered, “Trust me. There isn’t a wrong way to rub me. When you’re ready to
admit you want to, we can make this interesting.”
Nate moved in even closer,
the heat from his body making Gabe’s cock dance with glee. Nate’s lips and the
scruff of his goatee brushed up against Gabe’s ear, sending a delicious chill
down his spine. “Why don’t you hold your breath,” Nate pulled back abruptly,
“and see where that gets you.” With a look of disgust, he walked away.
“Well, that went well,”
Gabe said to no one in particular. He had to laugh at the situation or he’d
explode. If he were smart he’d get over it, realize the man was a waste of
time, and find someone more willing to tickle his fancy—and other parts of his
anatomy. Hell, he could be back in the city with a man filling him so good by
the end of the night.
Too bad he wasn’t a smart
man.
ABOUT THE
AUTHOR
I have been an artist from a very young age.
From drawing cartoon characters and evolving into portraits, making jewelry,
photography, and now writing. I have an amazing support system in my family and
friends and couldn’t be more grateful.
I live in central New
Jersey, love summers at the Jersey Shore, rock music, wine, sexy men, and
laughing a lot with my amazing friends and family. Sunday dinners at my
parents’ house are crazy, hysterical and you can count on a movie quote…or ten…being
thrown out. Insults between siblings is how we show our love for each other!
When I’m not creating, you can find me reading
books from my favorite authors. I’m a hopeless romantic, starving for
passionate characters and always craving that happy ending, whether in reading
or in writing my own books.
