Greetings! I'm pleased to announce another of my Breathless
Press titles is being re-released. The book will be available in electronic and paper formats on April 13th at the following vendors:
It's Simple, Simon
Simon Carter has achieved unimaginable
success and he owes it all to a man from his past whose scorn set fire to his
ambition.
"It's Simple, Simon. You lack
ambition."
Chase Garvin's
jibe had sent Simon Carter on unexpected paths and brought him unimaginable
success. No longer a penniless musician, the highly paid investment banker is
going home for the first time in years. He plans to rest, relax, and spend a
little time rubbing his ex-lover's nose in his success. A visit to the
Renaissance Fair brings this not-quite-so-simple- Simon nose to nose with his
past and somehow revenge doesn't seem quite so attractive.
Chase Garvin,
Denver, Colorado's very own Pie Man, is still incredibly handsome. What's more,
the more mature Chase is very appreciative of Simon's talents.
When the old
attraction flares between them, Simon and the Pie Man get caught up in tasting
the wares, and neither counts the pennies.
EXCERPT
He
sniffed the golden pies. Mmm. Chase had always been talented in the kitchen.
The aroma was intoxicating. Delicious. As he ate, savoring the flaky crust and
rich fillings, he contemplated the man who'd treated him to the pies. Chase was
one hot baker. He'd always been sexy, but there was no way that hunk of beef
could fit into his old Renaissance garb. Chase had put on muscle. His shoulders
had broadened, his biceps bulged, and mmm.... The rest was hidden behind that
voluminous apron, but Simon doubted that it had changed much.
Best
of all, Chase still seemed to find him attractive. That was just icing on the
cake. The sugar on the pie? He chuckled softly. Whatever it was, he liked it.
Liked the idea that Chase might still be interested in him sexually. As he
licked the sugary filling off his fingers, he contemplated abandoning his plan.
After all, Chase hadn't meant to hurt him years ago, and he'd certainly seemed
welcoming enough, even though to all appearances Simon hadn't changed over the
years. Yeah, there really wasn't any reason to prove to Chase how successful
and ambitious he really was. He should just come clean.
On
the other hand, he felt like enough of an idiot for hiding his success in the
first place. He bit into the next pie, feeling the juice trickle down his chin.
He licked at it, chewing and swallowing, scrabbling absently for a napkin to
wipe his chin. It would be horribly embarrassing to go back to that booth and offer
to pay for the pies, to tell Chase why he hadn't wanted to pay in the first
place.
"Here,
I'll get that for you." Chase grabbed his napkin. To his surprise, Chase
drooped down onto the grass next to him. Instead of dabbing his chin with the
white paper napkin, the man leaned forward, his breath a warm buttery scented
breeze as he hovered close for a moment before gently licking the juice off
Simon's skin.
Reviews of Previous Edition
- How could I not be intrigued by a gay twist on a
classic nursery rhyme? I picked this book up because I wanted to see if it
was possible to make a good story out of a not so good rhyme. I was
pleasantly surprised to see that the author managed to make it into a
story I actually got into and wanted to read. – Reviewed by Andrea at Jessewave
- the journey was exquisite. It was a lovely balance of
yearning and confidence, independence and compromise, love and hate.
Through their experiences, we come to appreciate how love doesn’t always
come easy, but if it’s right, the challenges are worth it in the end. – Reviewed by Doug at Top 2 Bottom
