Men of London Book One **LOVE YOU SENSELESS**
BLURB
One of London’s up-and-coming chefs, Eddie Tripp
has just the right recipe to drive tragedy from the mind of Gideon Kent—and
leave him senselesswith desire.
THE MEN OF LONDON
From Soho to Norwich, there’s no escaping love.
A TASTE OF FOREVER
An award-winning chef with his own restaurant and an inexhaustible passion, Gideon Kent once had everything. Then came tragedy. It stole more than Gideon’s home. He hasn’t cooked since.
Until Eddie Tripp. Fun-loving and vivacious, the Norfolk
redhead’s a real up-and-comer in Gideon’s kitchen—and other places. Slim where
Gideon’s broad, easy-going where Gideon is growly, he and Gideon seem polar
opposites, and yet Eddie conjures flavors that would tempt anyone with a taste
for perfection. The sauce of love is already simmering, and this pair
is about to dine on the most delicious dish they’ve ever prepared. Because
Eddie’s been Gideon’s missing ingredient all along.

EXCERPT
Gideon tapped the pen on the desk in nervousness at
having Eddie so close. Not for the first time he wished he could smell him, see
if the man’s scent was sweat or cologne, or soap or sweet-scented sugar from
the creations he made.
“She did, did she? She can be a really interfering biddy.
And how many times have I told you to call me Gideon? Mr. Kent was my dad. And
I don’t see him here.”
He bit his lip as his snark returned in Eddie’s presence.
It was as if his mouth had no other way to react when Eddie was near.
Eddie seemed to be suppressing a smile. “It’s a little
difficult to be on first-name terms with a man who’s always growling at me,” he
said, faint amusement in his tone. “I thought perhaps I should keep it
professional.”
Oh, Eddie bites does he? Not such a
whippersnapper after all. I quite like that. The idea of him biting is
definitely something I’d like to pursue.
Gideon shifted in the chair, trying to stave off the
erection forming in his jeans.
Christ, that would be all I need,
physical evidence of how he turns me on. I don’t even know if the man is gay or
straight and he’d probably deck me. They say redheads have tempers, don’t they?
Men of London book two **SIGHT AND SINNERS**
BLURB
The murder of a shared
friend leads a high-profile investigator and a psychic into a mystery involving
lies, blackmail, BDSM—and into each other’s arms.
From Charing Cross to Waterloo,
there’s no escaping love.
SEEING THROUGH…
28-year-old Draven Samuels has a tragic past, but as an
investigator with a high-profile London company he now gets what he wants.
Tough, sarcastic, and sceptical, he has no patience for lies and even less for
people who waste his time. Even if they’re as beautiful as the wild and
dark-haired Taylor Abelard. Especially when they’re talking over the body
of a murder victim.
THE DARKNESS
Psychic Taylor Abelard is used to people
calling him a freak. He can see past events and feel the ghostly vibrations of
people close to him who’ve passed on. It’s why he doesn’t get too close to the
living. But this time, against his better judgment, despite Draven’s mocking
rejoinders, Taylor will get closer than ever before. The mystery of a
dead friend will lead the two men down a dark and seedy trail of blackmail and
lies. Add in the heartbreak of a family tragedy, and events lead them straight
into each other’s arms. By the end of this night, all their demons will have
risen—and been banished with the dawn.

Men of London book three **SUIT YOURSELF**
BLURB
Scarred both
physically and emotionally after a motorcycle accident, twenty-five year old ex
fashion model and porn star Oliver Brown is about to be stripped bare by
flamboyant twink Leslie Scott—and they’ll rebuild love from the bottom up.
BARING THE BEAST
Twenty-five year old
Oliver Brown is addicted. Two years ago, he was at the height of his career as
“Nikki Star,” fashion model, porn actor, partier without peer. Then came the
accident. Hiding his scars, both emotional and physical, he’s gone into hiding.
But fine clothing is some solace. A new suit by Debussy? Better even than a
ride on his motorcycle Hulk or all the things he used to give and take on
camera.
Enter Leslie Scott,
the flamboyant, dark-haired, heel-and-tiny-short-wearing twink sent to deliver
Oliver’s newest fix. A firecracker, Leslie is dapper, generous, in touch with
his feminine side but all man, and as gorgeous as any garment ever made. He
makes Oliver dream of ending his reclusion, of recapturing a future forever
denied him. But for that to happen, Leslie would have to strip him to the bone.
Only then will they rebuild life from the bottom up.

Men of London book four **FEAT OF CLAY**
BLURB
TWO
MEN.
TORN. TORTURED. LOVED.
TORN. TORTURED. LOVED.
Though they went their
separate ways, Tate Williams and Clay Mortimer have been crazy about each other
since their school days. Clay went into the SAS. Tate became a cop. Neither
mentioned their attraction to the other. Both sought out danger. Both found
it.
Imprisoned and shot in an undercover assignment gone wrong, Tate somehow survived…and found his way back into Clay’s arms. His old friend is now the owner of an elite investigation agency and everything any man could want: patient, handsome, commanding. And Clay knows what it takes to survive. But Tate can’t bring himself to share all his secrets, nightmares that force him to rebel against everything. He finds solace from his past as a graffiti artist, a childhood passion, but his demons drive away all who might care for him. Only when he faces that past—and learns that everyone has tasted despair—can the two men truly be brothers-in-arms…and more.

Men of London book five **CROSS TO BARE**
BLURB
TWO OF A
KIND
It’s amazing what a little
mascara and lipstick, a blonde wig, false boobs, and top-notch female fashion
can hide. Not that Lenny James is hiding his masculinity. He uses his normal
voice when he’s Laverne, and he’s not particularly camp as a man. His reasons
for creating his alter ego are locked deep in his past. He is who he is: tough
in business, and a romantic at heart. What he’s hiding is vulnerability. He
wants a man to accept both sides of him.
Gorgeous, commanding, and
dark as sin, Brook Hunter meets Lenny and knows nothing about Laverne until
fate pushes her into his path. Cross-dressing is as far from Brook’s reality as
fashion is from his world of diplomacy and high finance. Understanding and
truth take time, and trust doesn’t come easy. But Brook is about to show Lenny
that there are no sides to true love, just the place where they meet in the
middle.

Men of London book six **FLYING SOLO**
BLURB
Flight
attendant Maxwell Lewis has spent years cultivating a bon vivant image only to
find he finally wants something more—and that something more includes the
never-does-repeats game designer Gibson Henry.
ABOVE AND BEYOND
Maxwell Lewis is proud of
the life he’s made. Having turned tragedy into triumph, he’s now a beloved
member of a Target Airlines cabin crew with more than his fair share of
attention both in the air and on the ground. But lately he’s wanted something
more than the occasional hook-up or sometime sex buddy—particularly after
meeting game designer and passenger Gibson Henry.
Talented and driven, Gibson
has built a company ready to be the next big thing in gaming. Devoted to his
work, he takes onetime pleasures where he finds them and never does
repeats…which is what he tells handsome, sexy Maxwell Lewis after a little
mile-high flight attendance. But a chance encounter in a London club is about
to change things forever. Two men, one who’s flown solo and another who’s only
ever played alone, are about to find that at some point all games come to end,

Men of London book seven **DAMAGED GOODS**
BLURB
Touched by tragedy, love is an elusive dream never to be
realised by eighteen-year-old Jax Grady--until he discovers his secret admirer
and receives the sweetest gift he could ever desire.
THE SWEETEST GIFT
Tragedy and horror shaped Jackson Grady's life, leaving him
orphaned and scarred. At eighteen he's ready to claim his future, but who could
love his disfigured face and damaged soul? Definitely not a big, burly,
beautiful Irish Traveller who is entirely the stuff of dreams.
Dare Rowan didn't mean to become obsessed with the
blue-eyed man he first saw across a field, but that porcelain skin and innocent
air demanded another meeting. Jax has the face of a wounded angel, and the rest
of the young man is as heart-breakingly perfect. Jax is beautiful in every way
and teaching him about love and life will be something Dare will embrace. Like
unwrapping and savouring the candy at the shop where he works, Dare will show
this young man everything Jax desired but never thought he'd have, and take Jax
to new highs while he holds him through the lows. Between them, they’ll find
out just how sweet life can be.

Exclusive Excerpt
Jax had been watching the horses, trying to
coax one across to him, when someone had kicked him violently in the back.
Stunned, he’d jolted forward, his glasses falling off and onto the ground
below. He had heard rather than seen them crack, breaking as his assailant had
stepped on them.
“Fucking little fairy freak,” the voice had
hissed as its owner wrestled Jax to the ground and held his arms behind his
back. “I saw you come in with that other faggot. You his bed warmer, then, you
little bitch?”
Jax had tried to fight back, to turn around
so he could land a good kick to the man’s balls and disable him that way, but
his assailant had been too strong. Instead, he’d found himself lifted to his
feet, swung around and slammed against the tree, knocking the breath out of
him. Then an arm had been pressed against his throat as invectives spewed forth
in a never-ending vitriol filled with hate and filth.
Jax had zoned out. Memories of being
beaten, kicked, spat on and threatened by his stepbrother Terry had come flooding
back, filling him with icy terror that it was happening again and that this
time he wouldn’t make it. Part of him thought that might be best; another part
of him thought about Dare, and how they still had so much to explore. That had
been the catalyst that told him he needed to fight, overcome this attack. He’d
been garnering his courage to do something, anything to get out of the
situation when he’d heard Dare’s voice. Feelings of both shame and relief had
flooded him.
“I’m nothing but a fucking victim,” Jax
mumbled to himself as the bath water grew cold and his tears fell. “A freak
that nobody else wants. Sammy was right.”
