Deadly Tease

by Michelle McGriff

Loneliness consumes Portia Hamilton after the death of her father. In the depths of her despair she is drawn to a charismatic church where she developed a crush on her pastor, Julian Marcum. Julian Marcum is pompous, arrogant, and leads a secret life. Wanting to keep his alternative lifestyle quiet, he uses Portia while he frequents an out of the way gay dance hall, where he becomes involved with the flamboyantly gay female impersonator, Kyle. Kyle is a gossip, jealous and cat-like. When he finds out Julian is cheating on him with Portia, he realizes that Julian is not going to come clean with his gay activities, Kyle then plots to tease Julian with the idea of blackmail in order to force him into the open. But the game proves to be deadly.
