Hello all *waves* can you believe it is already May?! Mother Nature sort of skipped right over spring and is
already rolling out the warmer weather. Speaking of rolling out…. I have a new book I just released! Lover is
the sequel to Survivor, the second book in the Survivor trilogy and it released on April 21st.
Lover is an MMM menage and those that have read Survivor will surely recognize the characters; Shannon, Rory and Rand. It’s been a while since I wrote a threesome and my fingers were itching to bring these guys to life, and bring them together. This book has a little bit of something for e veryone, I promise. Action, suspense, intrigue, romance, and some crazy serial killer leaving a trail of blond twinks in his w
Shannon really grows and comes into his own in this story, lots of character growth and figuring out who he is and who he wants to be. There’s a genuine struggle to come to terms with his past so that he can open up and find happiness. He’s just as much a Survivor as Taylor is, maybe more so, and the two of them have become best friends.
Rory is feeling a bit raw after the events that took place in Survivor, but then he meets the vivacious, blond college senior, Shannon Dupree, and the two are immediately smitten. There’s a lot Shannon keeps to himself and Rory is willing to give him all the time he needs. His main fear is falling for someone again, only to have his heart broken in the end.
Rand is fresh off a decade long relationship and bitter about it to be honest. Pretty much done with dating scene, perhaps he can find a fuck buddy to screw when he’s horny then send him on home. Too bad fate has decided to intervene just to be sure these three hardheaded, outspoken, stubborn men find their way to each other. It takes time, trust and lots of patience to make these three men learn to love again, to love one another.
This series is a lot of fun to write, let me tell you. I’ve taken my love for murder mysteries and all the true story shows that air on ID Discovery and turned it into a book series. My favorites to watch are the ones where someone gets away. The survivors that fight with everything they have, they kick, scream and run, they would rather die trying to get away than sit and succumb quietly. That’s a huge inspiration for this book seires… There’s a survivor in us all! 
In Survivor, Taylor has to deal with his issues from the start, what becomes his past is always in the front of his mind, always present, like a piece of flesh. Still, he lives a full life, he is a survivor. In Lover, Shannon’s past is something he wants to bury. I’m talking wrap chains around it, use sixty padlocks and throw that shit into the deepest depths of the ocean. Unfortunately, it proves to be much, much harder than any of them fathomed.
Here’s an exclusive excerpt from Lover…
Chapter Three
Shannon 2013
“Oh come on, Pretty Boy. Just one more dance, please?” Shannon begged.
Rolling his eyes at the nickname, Taylor finally caved. “Fine, but ten minutes from now I’m walking out that door, with or without you.”
Shannon wormed his way through the crowd to the middle of the dance floor, pulling Taylor along behind him. They’d met the year before on Grindr. Hooked up and had hands-down the single most satisfying sexual experience of Shannon’s life. Alas, they were destined to be best friends, not lovers. Taylor was crushing hard on an older man in his life, Frank Moore, a cop with the Dallas Police department. Shannon would sometimes tease him and tell Taylor that he’d ruined him for all other men. And while it truly was meant to tease, sadly, it was also the truth.
After escaping the hell he’d lived in for three years with Bruce, Shannon had locked himself away when he first arrived in Austin, fearing that his abusive…what—ex-lover? No, that wasn’t right; there was no love there whatsoever. Bruce treated him like an object or an abject thing and not a person. Still, he’d lived those first few months in Texas with a cloud over his head, jumping at every noise, terrified that Tuan would pop up around every corner and drag him back to the condo in Washington.
Surrounded by sweaty, gyrating bodies on the dance floor, people touching, groping, and bumping into one another no longer sent Shannon running for the door. Three years of freedom had lightened his mood. “Okay, time’s up, Tinkerbell. Let’s jet!” Taylor shouted in order to be heard over the disco music and loud bass thumping in the speakers beside them that were almost as tall as Taylor.
Now, whereas many a twink would take offense to being called Tinkerbell, Shannon fucking loved it. It stemmed from a conversation they had one night over pizza a couple of months after they’d met:“What the hell is that supposed to mean—I remind you of a three-inch flying fairy?”
Taylor choked on the beer he was drinking. “I’m not calling you a fairy, you ass. All I meant was, Tink is this tiny little bundle of energy, a ball of light that lights up any room she’s in. That describes you perfectly, Shan.”
“Oh, well, that’s…kinda sweet, Taylor.” He grinned.
As much as Shannon longed for someone to make him feel the way Taylor did the night they hooked up, honestly, it wasn’t Taylor that he wanted that type of relationship with. He’d listened to his friend talk about the man he was in love with on more than one occasion. What Shannon wanted was for someone to love him the way Taylor loved his cop. All he’d ever known was the abuse Bruce tried to disguise as love and the guys he’d met either online or at school.
When they exited the club, Shannon turned left only to be jerked back to the right. “I’m parked over here, Shan. Come on, I’ll drive you back to campus—unless you want to stay at my place?” Taylor clicked his key fob to unlock the doors, and Shannon climbed in.
That was another thing that slowly evolved between them: Taylor sharing his past, his parents’ murder, and the recurring nightmares he often had about that night. It only strengthened their bond, and with time, helped Shannon to share some of his troubling past with Taylor. “Yeah, your place sounds good.” He yawned.
When they walked into the apartment, Shannon saw a pillow and a blanket sitting on the couch, and he laughed. “Wow, so certain I’d be coming home with you, Pretty Boy?”
“Oh you wish, Tink. Now shut the hell up, get on the couch, and get some sleep. I’m exhausted.” Taylor yawned, scratching his belly as he walked into the kitchen, coming back out to the living room with a couple of bottles of water in his hand. He tossed one toward Shannon, thankfully hitting the sofa cushion and not his head. After spending ten years playing baseball, Taylor had a wicked throw. “I’ll see you in the morning.” Taylor waved before heading into his bedroom, closing the door behind him.
“Nightie, night.” Shannon plopped down onto the couch, pulling first his boots then his jeans off, finding the pajama pants and comfy shirt he kept at Taylor’s tucked between the pillow and blanket. His skin held a sticky layer of bar sweat, and his hair was slicked back with product, so he decided to hop in the shower to wash the remnants of their night at the club off his body, rather than painting the sofa with mousse and musk. The hot water felt amazing, relaxing him and soothing his aching back. Between finals, dance class, and a quick workout at the campus gym earlier in the day, his muscles were layered with knots of tension.

Lover – A Survivor story
Life has not always been kind to Shannon Dupree. On the outside he’s carefree and fun loving, but when it comes to his past he’s evasive and secretive. Running away from emotionally bereft parents at just fifteen, Shannon escapes life with them but steps into the waiting arms of the devil.
Rory Landers is a rising star at the Bureau. His personal life, however, is nothing to write home about. He hopes to take his limited relationship with Frank Moore to the next level when they finally solve the Langford murder case, but that doesn’t turn out as planned. On the plus side, he meets free-spirited college senior Shannon Dupree.
Rand Davis finds himself fortysomething and single when his partner of more than a decade is unfaithful. Taking over the Cold Case Squad frees up some of his time, and Rand welcomes newfound friendships within the Langford-Moore family circle. He thinks relationships are not in the cards for him until he meets an agent with an attitude and a vivacious blond that make him want so much more.
Past, present, pain, and suffering collide, ushering in the possibility of a life and love worth fighting for. Although their personalities couldn’t be more different, their three hearts beat the same. Shannon, Rory, and Rand learn the definiti
on of love, commitment, and strength and if they allow themselves, the trio will find all that and more—in each other.
