Blurb:
At fifteen, Troy and Liam were fostered by the same
family, and although they hated each other at first, they gradually became
solid friends. As adults, the two foster brothers live together. Both
experience tough times, each being a rock for the other, but their love had
never been anything other than brotherly.
Until they both fall for the same guy, and things get... complicated.
Dalton is fresh out of a ten year marriage. Feeling lost, he concentrates on the only thing he can control—his body. Developing from a chubby, unfit police officer into a lean, mean inked one, Dalton has never looked better, but inside, he's never felt worse. A relationship is far from his thoughts, and one with another man makes Dalton even more confused. He takes time to get to know Troy and Liam separately, but Manchester isn’t that big, and sparks fly when fate throws the three together.
Together, these three fight it out between them. Both Troy and Liam demand Dalton choose between them, but what if he didn't have to choose? What if it could work between three?
The things in life we fight for are never the easiest, but they’re the ones worth holding onto forever.

Excerpt:
Liam chatted with Milo,
but Dalton was too busy trying to stop hyperventilating and not staring at Liam’s
body, seeing it as he last saw it—wet and tense, excited and looking sinful in
that shower cubicle. Those types of thoughts weren’t going to help him calm
down. Why oh why did that have to happen?
Blue leaned in, calming
strokes running up and down Dalton’s back, sweetly spoken words whispered
against his neck, and Dalton’s tension eased a little. “Is he an ex or
something?”
“No,” Dalton choked out.
“Oh, I just thought
there was some history there.” Blue’s glossy red lips curled into a smile.
“There’s no history of that kind.”
“But there is some to speak about?” Blue opened his
green eyes wider and nodded. “It’s obvious. Maybe it’s time you resolved this
tension between the two of you somehow.”
“What?” Dalton
stiffened.
“Well, there's obviously
something happening between you two.”
“Yeah, but not what you
think.”
Blue bit his lip while
he thought. “Hmm, there’s a few different things going on from where I'm
sitting.” He nudged his thigh against Dalton’s dick, and for the first time, he
realised he was excited. “Or is this for me?”
Dalton truly had no
idea. He was confused by his own body, not understanding why he was reacting at
all. But it had happened in the showers while he watched Liam. Maybe it was
those moments replaying in his mind which caused his cock to stiffen in his
jeans.
Maybe it was the fact he
had someone sitting on him, caring about him, someone with long legs and big
heels, who was wearing make-up and who was confusing Dalton’s body by being
more feminine than he was used to in a man. But then, Dalton was close to
Samuel. He was beautiful and more feminine than Blue and this had never
happened, and hadn't Samuel been sitting on his knee earlier? Maybe he was
losing his mind. Maybe he’d already lost it.
“I don’t… I really don’t
know,” he whispered into Blue’s hair. “I just… I have to go.”
“Wait, sexy.” Blue
pressed his body more into his, meeting his eyes, those black lashes coated
thickly in mascara. “Don’t run off just yet. There’s no need.”
“I'm not gay,” Dalton
rushed out as low as he could make his voice, darting his gaze to Liam, his
tight V-necked vest showing off those big muscles, jeans encasing his firm
arse, that bottle hanging in between his lips.
This time, when Blue
rubbed his thigh over his cock, Dalton grabbed Blue’s slender calf running up
his leg and just held it, not moving him away but not pulling him closer—just
frozen, not knowing what to do.
“You don’t have to label
yourself with anything, Dalton.” Blue took hold of his chin, fingertips gently
caressing his skin and making Dalton shift his gaze from Liam back to him. “I
think…” He eased closer still, his thigh now pressed against the rigid length
encased in Dalton’s jeans. “If your body needs something, it lets you know. If
your eyes find something pleasing, they look more. If your heart beats faster
for someone, then you follow it. I'm not gay. I'm a person. A human being.
That’s the label I want to be tagged with. Hashtag Human.” He clicked his
fingers with a bright smile.
Dalton smiled through
his fear and understood what Blue was saying. He just wasn’t ready to think the
same way. “That’s nice.”
“It’s the truth. The
truth is always a good thing. I always think our brains confuse us. They have
all this bullshit ‘learned’ behaviour which they pick up over the years and it
tells you to think one way, your body saying another. It takes time for those
two to work together and come to some sort of an agreement, but we all get
there eventually. Just don’t pressure yourself, hon.” Blue leaned in, kissing
the corner of his mouth, Dalton’s cock now crushed against his thigh. “Of
course, I would like to think this is for me, but I know better.” Blue pulled
back with a heavy sigh. “If you change your mind though…” He winked with a
chuckle.
“Blue.” Samuel was
beside them, looking between them both. “Dalton’s a bit…” He drifted off,
worrying his bottom lip with his teeth, obviously not wanting to spill too much
personal info about Dalton’s bad day and emotional state.
“Confused, sweetie?”
Blue offered brightly.
“Yeah.” Samuel looked to
the sky, then took hold of Blue’s hand. “You go get some air, Dalton.”

Guest Post from author Nicole Colville
Tell us the
highlight of your writing career (so far).
What springs
instantly to mind is that Dalton got to number one and stayed there for days.
It’s still in the top 5 in Gay Romance as I type this and number 2 in erotica
and LGBT books, so of course I feel a great sense of pride and achievement in
my career reaching that goal.
It’s a place
when I first started out that I thought no way would I achieve, and I’ve looked
back over the past three years of my career and seen, not only how much I’ve
grown as a writer, but all of the amazing friends I’ve made through that time.
I’m a big
believer in paying it forward, and because I was so naive and clueless about
publishing when I first started out, I make sure to always help others when I
can.
The biggest part
of my career I feel proud of the most is my grammar and editing skills. My
brain was fuzzy when I first started out and the first three books were a
nightmare to edit. I also chose badly with two ‘editors’ and then I found the
wonderful Jessica McKenna who I adore. Her patience is unending and she has
taught me so many things. I always feel a sense of pride when I get my edits
back and refer them to my first ones.
