The Gentleman's Madness
I didn't realize it was already release day for The Gentleman's Madness. That's right, you can get this sexy, touching, angsty tale at Amazon, Barnes and Noble, etc. as well as at Samhain today.
If you adore a man in trouble, a man at his lowest point in life, an incarcerated man finding love and light at the end of the tunnel--this book is for you.

Seducing Stephen now cheaper!
Summer and I have re-released Seducing Stephen as a self-pub. You can now purchase it for only $2.99. It has a gorgeous new cover. If someone smarter than I would like to collate the new version with the old version here at Goodreads, I might love you. This week I feel like I've spent a lot of time figuring out a lot of little technological challenges and I'm simply not up for this one.
The Bohemian and the Banker
Another gay historical written with Summer Devon is live today, The Bohemian and the Banker.
If you like the colorful vibe and time period of Moulin Rouge, you will enjoy this story.
Here's the blurb: A night lost in Paris finds two hearts changed—forever.
Sent to Paris on business, Nigel Warren doesn’t quite understand why his colleagues’ eyes twinkle as they tell him to meet them at a local night spot.
When he discovers it’s a drag cabaret and his acquaintances aren’t there, he realizes he’s the butt of a joke. Yet he finds himself quite undone by a singer dressed in an elegant gown, crooning a spellbinding ballad.
It’s not unusual for Jay, a former Londoner, to bring a new “friend” home from the cabaret, but he’s never had a guest quite like Nigel, whose straitlaced manner hides an unexpected passionate streak.
One romantic night on a rooftop under starry skies, followed by an afternoon enjoying the excitement of the 1901 Paris Exposition, bonds these opposites in a way neither can forget—even after they part.
Their spark reignites when Jay comes to London, but he’s not sure he can go back to hiding his true self, not even for the sake of love…unless Nigel is willing to shed his cloak of staid respectability and take a leap of faith.
Warning: Contains a virgin who doesn’t speak French but is fluent in numbers, and a drag performer who is trilingual in English, French and Love. Not responsible for extra pounds brought on by the urge to dine on croissants au deux.

The Shepherd and the Solicitor released
For those who've been waiting for the next Dee/Devon book, The Shepherd and the Solicitor is now live.
You can purchase the book at Amazon and everywhere. Below is the blurb and a few early reviews:
The solitude of a hermit is invaded by love.
When Daniel Pierce’s lover is murdered by a hate-filled mob, he retreats from society to the wilds of the north. Tending sheep brings him a measure of peace, until the day Gregory Tobin erupts into his life. Sent by his firm to confirm either the existence or death of the Pierce family heir, Tobin is at first uncertain of the identity of the man he’s tracked down. Gruff, shaggy hermit Jacob Bennett bears little resemblance to the photographs of a younger Pierce.
Thrown together on the isolated farm in the flurry of lambing season, Tobin keeps postponing his return to civilization. He wants the recalcitrant heir to return with him, but he’s also falling for the man revealed layer by layer. Ultimately Jacob Bennett must decide if he can overcome the terrors of his past and meld an identity that contains both Pierce and Bennett—a man capable of loving again.
The Novel Approach, Jennifer 4 stars
From the rolling hills to the small cottage Bennet lives in, I could easily picture it and wanted to be there with the men. If you’re looking for a read with two different yet strong male leads, set in the country of historical England, look no further.
Gay Book Reviews, Ele 4.4 stars
The slow burn was delicious and the tension palpable through the story. And they lead to an explosive first time. The HEA is swoon worthy and real, always according to the era’s standards. For the lovers of Historical romance, highly recommended!
Scattered Thoughts and Rogue Words Reviews, MelanieM 4.5 stars
I highly recommend this story. Even if you normally don’t read historic romance, you will love this couple and their story of love and devotion. Its heartwarming and beautifully written.
Wicked Reads, Jacki 4 stars
The chemistry between the main characters kept me reading right until the end. One strong, serious man and his balanced gentle, playful mate made for a well-rounded and pleasant read. I would recommend this to M/M and historical romance lovers.
Guilty Pleasures Book Reviews, Leigh 4 stars
This story was sweet and touching with just the right amount of heat. I enjoyed seeing a romance where each person was better together than they were apart. It wasn’t just the love and affection that they gained from one another, but the strength to be a better person.
The Blogger Girls, Heather C 4 stars
The Shepherd and the Solicitor completely hits the mark for what I expect from these two authors. I loved how secluded this story is!! Bennet and Tobin are alone together for such a large portion of the story…the perfect setting for tons of sexual tension without any distractions from outside forces.
Joyfully Jay, Jay 4.25 stars
Bennet’s farm is so remote that once the guys are there, the era could be almost anything. What works so well is the isolation they face and the way that leads to this incredible bond between them very fast. I loved these guys together and I really liked seeing Bennet open up, face his past, and move forward.
Books To Get Lost In, 4 stars
If I had to summarize this book, I wouldn’t hesitate one second: UST. The main charaters’ chemistry is palpable and you never know if Daniel will give in to his desires or if his fear is just too great to do so. You really can feel and understand his struggles.

The Merchant and the Clergyman released
The Merchant and the Clergymanis now available at Amazon and everywhere. Hope you'll check out this latest Dee/Devon release.A village clergyman
Curate James Fletcher is content shepherding his parishioners through the good and bad times of their lives. If he sometimes dreams of making a deeper connection with a man who truly knows everything about him, it is an impulse he ignores and sublimates.
A workaholic businessman
Declan Shaw solves problems at his family’s far-flung business enterprises. Recently, he’s considered taking a break from traveling to settle in one place and pursue a few desires of his own. He’d love to explore his secret love of cooking, and perhaps have a relationship that lasts longer than a night.
The event that brings them together
In town for his cousin’s wedding, Declan meets James just as he’s bested the annoying groom. Intrigued by the mild-mannered cleric’s surprising grit, Declan asks James to help him discover if his aunt is being mistreated by her spouse.
As their paths repeatedly cross, the two men reach an intersection of attraction they can’t ignore. Will they take the forbidden trail of passion and perhaps continue to travel together into the future?
Will and the Valentine Saint
Will and the Valentine Saint is the second in Summer Devon and my Victorian Holiday Hearts series. If you read and enjoyed Simon and the Christmas Spirit, you will probably like Will's story.
Soon to be followed in March by Mike and the Spring Awakening.
