Love Bytes is delighted to host the exclusive cover reveal for Kate Sherwood her new upcoming release with Dreamspinner Press “All That Glitters”.

Thanks so much for having me back for this cover reveal, Love Bytes gang! I’m really happy to have the chance to introduce people to the gorgeous cover for my new contemporary m/m novel. This story is a mix of angst and humor (one of my favorite mixes!) and I think Nicholas caught exactly the right mood in his cover design.

I just counted and this is my 28^th m/m novel or novella – hopefully I’m getting the hang of the genre by now! I like to challenge myself with my couples and try to find really strong reasons for them to be apart… that way it’s all the sweeter when they finally get together. I think I found a good conflict for this one. There are some things that are almost unforgiveable… but isn’t love more powerful than “almost” anything?

No matter what he tells himself, wealthy NYC architect Liam has never been able to forget his first love, Ben. But as he approaches midlife and realizes something is missing, can he forgive himself for the worst mistake he ever made—the one that left a hole no amount of career success can fill? Or will fear keep him from the full life he really wants? Liam and Ben were childhood sweethearts, then college boyfriends. But when Liam cheated on Ben, Ben forced himself to cut ties and move on. He’s still living in the small town where they grew up, teaching, but it’s not the life he imagined for himself as a younger man. Still, when Liam returns, he can’t risk his heart again. He certainly can’t allow himself to love Liam again after fighting so hard to get over him. Neither man wants to let go of the past and face their apprehension at starting over. They don’t want to fall in love a second time—but sometimes love happens whether it’s wanted or not.

Kate Sherwood started writing about the same time she got back on a horse after almost twenty years away from riding. She’d like to think she was too young for it to be a midlife crisis, but apparently she was ready for some changes! Kate grew up near Toronto, Ontario (Canada) and went to school in Montreal, then Vancouver. But for the last decade or so she’s been a country girl. Sure, she misses some of the conveniences of the city, but living close to nature makes up for those lacks. She’s living in Ontario’s “cottage country”–other people save up their time and come to spend their vacations in her neighborhood, but she gets to live there all year round! Since her first book was published in 2010, she’s kept herself busy with novels, novellas, and short stories in almost all the sub-genres of m/m romance. Contemporary, suspense, scifi or fantasy–the settings are just the backdrop for her characters to answer the important questions. How much can they share, and what do they need to keep? Can they bring themselves to trust someone, after being disappointed so many times? Are they brave enough to take a chance on love? Kate’s books balance drama with humor, angst with optimism. They feature strong, damaged men who fight themselves harder than they fight anyone else. And, wherever possible, there are animals: horses, dogs, cats ferrets, squirrels… sometimes it’s easier to bond with a non-human, and most of Kate’s men need all the help they can get. When’s she’s not busy with m/m, Kate explores other worlds through her alter-egos Cate Cameron (het romance, YA romance) and Catherine Dale (whatever else comes to mind).
