It’s been a week since
the first three books in my latest contemporary gay romance series, “Love
Letters”, were released. Maybe you already enjoyed them, but if not, check out
their covers below in all their eye-popping glory!
Admiring Ash
Begging Ben
Challenging Chance
You might have guessed
it – the stories from Greenville are far from over. The alphabet has many more
letters, and many more Love Letters are in the making! So, what comes after
“CC”? Well, “DD” of course! It’s a great pleasure for me to share the first
exclusive excerpt from “Daring Duke” today – coming November 2018! Beware, this
extract is a draft.
Balls-deep
in his hookup on his bedroom rug, Rohan Lawrence-Decker chased—not after
orgasm—but the need to escape thoughts of Duke.
Thoughts he
should not be having.
Rohan
pounded in time to Jack’s heavy grunts, angling to give his hookup the most
pleasure. Snapping his hips forward harder. Faster.
He rolled a
palm up the Jack’s back, fingertips sinking into sandy hair the same torturous
shade as Duke’s. Duke, who lived with him; who had said he was spending the
night out with his friends likely looking for a hookup of his own.
Rohan’s
throat tightened and he clasped his Jack’s hips and rode him with wild urgency.
Rode him like he might rid himself of the frustration that had been yanking in
his chest the last year. Rode him like he imagined riding Duke.
Rohan
cursed under his breath, and hurried the act. This fuck was a mistake. He was
scratching an itch, but instead of relieving himself of thoughts of Duke, they
were only getting worse.
Just as
well he was leaving for London on an early flight. He needed to get away from
the manor. Get away like he’d become a pro at this last year.
He slammed
his stinging eyes shut.
Christ.
Rohan needed to stop feeling like this. Stop the awkwardness growing between
them every time Rohan returned home. Stop loving the bratty, flirty way Duke
behaved toward him. Stop the unhealthy desire to jump Duke; kiss him; hold him.
Rohan
titled his head back, and quickened his pace. To hold him . . .
That was
the hardest itch to ignore.
Rohan
folded over Jack’s back and brought his hookup to orgasm, the warmth of their
damp skin and imagining Duke beneath him sent Rohan over the edge. He came
after Jack, wishing Jack’s satisfied tremble and sigh sounded more like—
A hitched
breath and the subtle creak of floorboards behind Rohan snatched all of his
senses. He snapped his head around, looking over his shoulder.
Duke stood
in the opened doorway between their rooms; a door that Rohan had been sure was
shut.
Their gazes
caught and held, Duke’s eyes, dark in the shadows. His lips parted slightly in
desire . . . no, that had to be shock. They stared at each other, only a
moment, but it seemed to stretch. Like Duke didn’t want to look away. Like he couldn’t.
Hope rose
in Rohan’s stomach and he fought it.
Duke
shivered and the movement had Rohan’s eye falling to the phone in his hand.
Held as if Duke had been taking a picture.
Rohan’s
stomach knotted. “What are you doing?”
Heart
hammering three to one, he pulled out of his hookup. He lurched to his feet,
tossing the condom, while Jack scrambled for clothes.
Rohan
crossed over to Duke and took the phone out of his hand. Recording. Duke had been recording them. A dozen conflicting
emotions punched through him. Anger, frustration, confusion and worse, hope lingered, trying to tell him Duke
took the video because he . . .
Rohan
swallowed hard.
He wouldn’t
let himself assume what it meant. Wouldn’t read into the slight bulging in
Duke’s jeans. Wouldn’t drag himself further into thoughts that had taken him
hostage for over a year now.
Duke was
forbidden.
To mask his
frustration, Rohan jumped at the first believable excuse he could find for Duke
recording him. He shook the phone in Duke’s face. “Are you blackmailing me? Is
this because your dad is handing over SmallQ to me and not you?”
Duke’s
expression flickered with surprise and his gaze hardened. “Maybe.”
Maybe.
Duke’s ‘whatever-I don’t give a damn’ attitude had been tossed about more and
more recently. Their communication—what had once been so easy—had stagnated,
and Rohan wasn’t sure anymore how to fix it.
Rohan
cuffed Duke’s warm arm and steered him into his own room. He shouldn’t play up
this forced anger. Should sit Duke down and work on getting the old them back.
But every time he had tried, Duke turned up the brat.
“What did
you want to do?” Rohan heard himself snapping. “Send the footage to the
tabloids? Crush my career?”
Duke
muttered.
Rohan
nailed his lie with a line he immediately regretted. “Don’t you have a
conscience?”
Duke smiled
and flicked him the middle finger. “Probably not. So you’re bisexual?”
Rohan
hesitated, half of him pleading himself to apologize, the other half too shook
up at the word bisexual. He was closer to gay, to be honest, but that wasn’t
something he’d said aloud to anyone other than Bianca.
Rohan
deleted the footage and pressed the phone against Duke’s hard chest. Their eyes
met again, but this time Rohan couldn’t hold it. He pivoted and strode toward
his room.
Duke called
after him. “You know I’m gay. Coulda
told me, you know.”
No, Rohan couldn’t have told the guy that he
struggled to get out of his mind. The guy who made his chest flutter.
He couldn’t
tell Duke anything he really felt.
Duke wasn’t just a guy.
He was his
cousin.
I hope that got your
excitement levels up for “Daring Duke”! Looking forward to sharing many, many
more “Love Letters” with you in the future!
