Forty-eight year old art gallery owner Paul Strait loves the nightlife—wild parties, stiff cocktails, and even stiffer men! But his decadent lifestyle has grown lonely and now he’s looking for love. Some days it seems that what he wants must be a fantasy. Hoping that the perfect guy is out there he enlists the help of Madame Eve.
After all, a fantasy service like 1Night Stand should be able to deliver his fantasy man, right?
Josef Debrossé runs an exotic gay bar in the Caribbean known only to locals and select tourists. The many patrons coming in and out of his bar ensure Josef never has a shortage of lovers but he’s grown tired of being just a vacation fling.
Josef wants to be another man’s lover and partner, not a mere souvenir from the islands.
Lost in a dance of lust and allure, both men are thrilled with Madame Eve’s choice for them and feel an intense connection the moment they meet. Flirting over drinks quickly leads to the bedroom. But after their fiery lust has been quenched, the night goes from fantasy to reality without warning. Secrets and frightening pasts threaten to shatter the magical illusion of their perfect date.
Will this budding romance survive in the face of reality?

Today I’m very happy to be interviewing Deanna Wadsworth author of FINDING HIS FANTASY
Hi Deanna, thank you for agreeing to this interview.
Do you buy a book because of the cover, the blurb, or something else?
Well, the cover always catches my eye but I DO read the blurb. As much as I hate writing my own blurbs, there is no denying the importance of a good one. Then sometimes I just buy books because I met the author or it’s my friend. LOL After all the cons I’ve gone to, I know a lot of authors and I like to read their stuff.
What does ‘romance’ mean to you?
In a book, it means that my heroes will end up together no matter what. In life, it means holding my hubby’s hand while we watch TV in our jammies and drink wine on a Sunday afternoon.
What are your current projects?
Well, I am wrapping up the sequel to my YA book THE GRIM LIFE written under my other pen name KD Worth Facebook│Twitter
THE GRIM LIFE is the story of a teenage boy named Kody who is moments away from ending his life and the grim reaper Max, who saves his live. The book isn’t what you would call a “Christian” book but Kody’s faith and the fact that Max takes people to heaven gives it a Christian theme.
**SPOILERS**
The sequel THE WOUNDED HEART is the continuation of their journey as reapers working for the mysterious Slade. Readers will finally get to learn what the shades and wraiths want with Kody and Max, why these undead are killing innocent humans. We will also learn how Kody’s family is dealing with his death….and I’ll tell you, it isn’t good.
What is the most difficult part of writing for you?
Seriously, trying to balance everything is probably the hardest part for me.
Tell us something about yourself that would surprise people.
I love watching Wheel of Fortune and Jeopardy any chance I get LOL In fact, I watch it enough that I know when it’s a rerun. The hubby and I would love to get on Wheel when they have couples…and it’s kind of a bucket list thing for me to be a contestant on Jeopardy
“I am Josef Debrossé.” He had yet to release Paul’s hand—not that he had any complaints— and his blood warmed from touching a total stranger he’d paid to meet.
He let out a breathless chuckle, not surprised he’d been holding his breath.
“Paul Strait,” he replied, caught up in something…giddiness? Excitement? Sexual tension? He wasn’t sure, but he felt like a silly girl swooning on her first date. Almost as an afterthought, he added his signature tagline, “And I’m anything but.”
A rich resonant laughter danced around them, weaving a spell and capturing Paul inside it until he didn’t even know which way was up or down.
“C’est bon, Paul Strait,” he said, those hypnotic eyes sparkling.
When Josef released him, he had to resist the urge to take the man’s hand back and never let go, fearing he might disappear. Instead, he downed the rest of his champagne, scolding himself for being so ridiculous. He nodded toward the bar where plenty of stools sat open. “Can I buy you a drink?”
At the resort, everything was included, but it seemed like the most logical thing to say. Much classier than, “Are you wearing underwear?”

Deanna Wadsworth might be a bestselling erotica author, but she leads a pretty vanilla life in Ohio with her wonderful husband and a couple adorable cocker spaniels. She has been spinning tales and penning stories since childhood, and her first erotic novella was published in 2010. She has served multiple board positions at her local RWA chapter and with Rainbow Romance Writers of America. When she isn’t writing books or brainstorming with friends, you can find her making people gorgeous in a beauty salon. She loves music and dancing, and can often be seen hanging out on the sandbar in the muddy Maumee River or chilling with her hubby and a cocktail in their basement bar. In between all that fun, Deanna cherishes the quiet times when she can let her wildly active imagination have the full run of her mind. Her fascination with people and the interworkings of their relationships have always inspired her to write romance with spice and love without boundaries.
