Blurb:
Senior year of college is for studying, partying, and having
fun before getting serious about life. Instead, Chad’s days are filled with
headaches and exhaustion, and his fencing skills are getting worse with
practice, not better. Then there’s his nonexistent love life, full of girls
he’s shunted to the friend zone. Is he asexual? Gay?
Grad student Warren Douglas could be out clubbing, but his roommate is better company, even without kisses. He’s torn up watching Chad suffer, gobbling ibuprofen and coming home early on Friday nights. If Chad weren’t straight, Warren would keep him up past midnight. They’re great as friends. Benefits might answer Chad’s questions.
A brief encounter with lab rats reveals Chad’s illness—he needs surgery, STAT, and can’t rely on his dysfunctional parents for medical decisions. Warren’s both trustworthy and likely to get overruled—unless they’re married. “You can throw me back later,” Warren says, and he may throw himself back after his husband turns out moody and hard to get along with, no matter how much fun his new sex drive is. Surgery turns Chad into a new man, all right…
…but Warren fell in love with the old one.

Excerpt:
On his feet
now, Chad looked a little shaky. For a silent moment he stood, though it wasn’t
clear whether he was forcing his body to behave or thinking.
“Uh. You’re a
scientist…” Why did Chad make that sound like a question? Unless it was part of
his medicine head. “I need some data.”
Oh. Oh!
Warren didn’t
flinch or pull away when Chad leaned in. Both his hands rested on Warren’s
upper arms, which didn’t keep him from lurching forward so fast Warren thought
he’d get hit in the face. But no, he stopped short and came in slow for the
last inch. Eyes open and questioning, he met Warren’s mouth in a smooth, gentle
kiss. Lips not quite parted, he brushed against Warren, searching, not
demanding.
What had gotten
into him? Warren kissed back, not too startled to respond in kind, adding
nothing that might frighten Chad away. He wouldn’t lift his arms, he wouldn’t
offer tongue, but he would meet Chad’s mouth for as long as he was offered it.
He had to tip his face up slightly and fight to stay in place when he wanted
nothing more than to step forward into Chad’s arms, to plaster himself against
that inviting chest, and thrust his tongue into the depths of Chad’s mouth.
Chad’s eyes
were blue drowning to black, his pupils dilated widely. Questions, but not
fear, dwelled behind his irises, questions that Warren wanted to answer for
him. Yes, you like this, yes, you want
more, yes, you want it with me. Yes.

Author Bio:
P.D. Singer lives in Colorado with her slightly bemused
husband, two rowdy teenage boys, and thirty pounds of cats. She's a big
believer in research, first-hand if possible, so the reader can be quite
certain Pam has skied down a mountain face-first, been stepped on by rodeo horses,
acquired a potato burn or two, and will never, ever, write a novel that
includes sky-diving.
When not writing, playing her fiddle, or skiing, she can be found with a book in hand.

Where to find the author:
Q –
What’s the weirdest thing you’ve ever eaten?
P.D. Singer -Tripe
stew, served by the very Italian grandmother of my then boyfriend. I would not
have offended Nonna for the world, so I choked those nasty white squares down
and said, “Thank you.” I still get the shudders just thinking about it.
Q – How
do you relax at the end of a stressful day?
P.D. Singer - Net
surfing and a glass of wine are good.
Q – Dog or cat?
P.D. Singer - Cats.
They can get along without my input for hours at a time.
Q
– You’ve been bitten by something radioactive. What power do you get from it?
P.D. Singer - I
can instantly locate objects or people just by thinking about them.
Q – Eat out or dine in?
P.D. Singer - Dine
in. Cooking for people, or being cooked for, is an exchange of love and
concern, not just food.
Q – What is the best gift you’ve ever received?
P.D. Singer - My
husband gave me an iPod several years ago. I could listen to my tunes, my
coworkers didn’t have to listen to them, nor did I have to listen to their
tunes. So it was really the gift of sanity.
Q
– Best gift you ever gave?
P.D. Singer - Joe
the Giant Cat was a gift to my husband and kids. He was a freshly neutered tom
of a mere thirteen pounds then, but he’s become everyone’s buddy, confidant,
and comfort.
Q – What’s your favorite cookie?
P.D. Singer - Keebler
Fudge Sticks (chocolate covered sugar wafers) are not safe around me!
