Nya Rawlyns is the pseudonym of a writer who cut her teeth on sports-themed romantic comedy before finding her true calling in the wilderness areas (both the urban jungles and true mountain vistas) she has visited but calls “home” in that place that counts the most: the heart. She writes M/M erotic romance because her good friends deserve to have their amazing stories told.
She has lived in the country and on a sailboat on the Chesapeake Bay, earned more than 1000 miles in competitive trail and endurance racing, and taught Political Science to unwilling freshmen.
When she isn’t tending to her garden or the horses, the cats, or three pervert parakeets, she can be found day dreaming and listening to the voices in her head.

The Blurb:
With his business empire under fire and ready to collapse, Kane and his partners turn to unlikely sources for help.
Nick Lopez is a wounded warrior, an undercover major crimes cop caught in the crossfire when he brokers a deal between competing rival Miami crime families. When his best friend, David Black, calls him for advice, Nick sees it as an omen. Sometimes it’s better to get out of Dodge and live, so he quits the force and heads north.
Jace McClune has seen and done too much as a vice cop. His last undercover assignment was his undoing, leaving him with an intervention from the department brass, but no resolution. Thomas Kane has friends in high places and when he hints the mob’s fingerprints are all over the attempts to take over his business, the precinct brass see this as a good way for Jace to get his head on straight with a babysitting job.
Jace and Nick pair up for a simple sting operation, but they soon discover that under the layers of betrayal and lies runs the threat of a new operation—one that takes the skin trade to new levels of perversion. Neither man is prepared for the mutual attraction that simmers to a rolling boil as it becomes clear that the only way they can cut to the truth is to allow Jace to sink once more into the dangerous underbelly of the city.
They’re about to find out why a man you can’t break is a man worth breaking…
Putting the Bad in Bad Boyfriends:
Thomas Kane is the face, the charm, and the brains behind a small empire that includes a popular fitness and training center for both athletes and stars looking to get and stay in shape. That’s his day job. By night he services a different clientele: men with secrets and very particular tastes. Mike Douglas is the muscle and the financial wizard who keeps both enterprises afloat. It sounds like a partnership made in heaven, except for Kane’s ex, Marshall Richards, who is on a vendetta to take Kane down.
In the first two books in the series, Marshall employs underhanded tricks and not-so-veiled threats to expose the secrets Kane holds tight on behalf of his clients. But it doesn’t take long for Kane and his people realize there’s more at stake than just jealousy and hurt feelings behind the takeover attempts. When clues point to mob involvement, they quickly realize they are out of their depth and call in outside assistance to look into what’s really behind the attacks.
Bad Boyfriends is an unconventional escort agency in a high stakes game that requires an unconventional and ballsy approach to dealing with a problem not even the cops want to touch. But Kane has pull with the precinct brass who offer up an undercover vice cop (Jace McClune) with just the right sort of vices to bring to Kane’s table. Kane’s life partner, David Black, brings in an old friend (Nick Lopez), an ex-Miami PD major crimes detective on the run from an unhealthy involvement with the Russian Mafiya and the Bolivian cartel.
The plan seems simple enough: infiltrate one of them into Marshall’s agency and have the other pose as a client, do some snooping, get the goods on Marshall and his backers, and get out.
Right…
Jace startles Nick with a sultry kiss, but David’s arrival squashes any attempt to take it the next step.
David inclined his head and gave me a knowing look. Speaking softly, he said, “Take care, Nicky. I don’t want you getting hurt.” Glancing back toward the living room, he reminded us, “We’ll meet in the morning, say around ten. Ask any questions you have at that time. We’ll decide on how to proceed and set up some role playing at the dungeon in the afternoon.”
I mouthed, “Dungeon?” as I watched David hustle down the stairs and out the front door. As I was closing the apartment door, McClune pushed past onto the landing. I asked, “Where you going?”
“Out.”
Great. Back to one word sentences.
“You want company?” More to the point, I was the one who wanted company. I wanted that hand on the back of my neck, and Jace McClune stretching on tippy-toes to reach my mouth. I wanted to finish what we’d barely started.
He groused, “Just going to the store.”
I could have let it go, should have let him go, but I was on the corner of Stupid and Horny, so I asked, “Whaddya need?”
“Condoms.”
“Oh.”
Everything accelerated … my heart rate, my fantasies, the mental snapshots of his scarring and light brown hair in a tangle, the feel of his beard on my chin, flat cop eyes that had melted for an instant when he’d kissed me.
Was it a kiss? I wasn’t sure now.
He paused at the door and fished in his rear pocket, probably for a wallet—something I would do—that and patting my belt, making sure the badge was there, along with my weapon. Cop motions.
I called down the stairs, “Don’t forget lube,” and got a giddy feeling when his face wrinkled into a mischievous grin. He nodded he’d heard and then he was gone.
I sank onto the top step and rested my head against the newel post. The last thing I needed was a complication. The last thing I wanted was to get involved.
The very last thing I wanted was Jace McClune.
I wondered how long it would take to find a bodega…
