“How can I explain this? There’s really no explanation for the way I feel. It’s beyond me. Maybe it happened on my last tour of duty, where I’d been wounded in the leg, spent months in the VA hospital with nothing but therapy, and reading love letters to pass the time, or to keep me sane.
The letters weren’t from my wife, but an admirer. I hadn’t heard from my wife in months. I think her last note informed me that she’d moved on, taking our dog with her, and filed for a divorce. I guess she couldn’t handle a damaged man without a job, with little or no income, and coming home.
Now it’s time for me to accept that I’m a broken man. I’ve lost my identity because I was a soldier, a leader of men, and all I have now are these few love letters from a strange woman to give me comfort.
Can this woman be as broken as I am? What will it take to make me whole—two broken pieces coming together?”
What will happen when Tony falls in love because of a few letters and texts only to discover that the person behind the letters isn’t who he imagined?
The “Wounded Inked” 3 book series contain hurt/ comfort, straight to gay, and fake boyfriend with HFN, and HEA in the final book.
Excerpt from Chapter 1
Parker
I really wasn’t into that Daddy stuff, but it appeared that all I ever ran across were men who were older than me, who wanted to either spank my ass, or they needed a Daddy themselves where I’d spank them, or tell them what to do, and how to live.
I had problems figuring out how to live myself, so what the fuck could I tell a man in his forties who had probably seen more cocks than I had, fondled more balls than I cared to, and been around the world more times than I could count right here in this room.
Now I knew that wasn’t what some thought that living was all about, but for a young gay man in his twenties, that was all some of us lived for was to find that right cock, and at the beginning and ending of that cock would be our life partner.
Maybe I hadn’t lived enough and met the right person, but then I’d traveled to other countries, stayed drunk night and day fucking a willing ass, gone on adventures in Pamplona, Spain, where I ran with the bulls. Got jerked off in the stands watching a bullfight in Madrid, and had an orgasm when the bull tore into the ass of a handsome bullfighter wearing a suit of lights and waving a cape.
After that memorable time of doing nothing but getting drunk and fucking my life away literally and physically, I arrived home in Phoenix to be confronted by my father. What a fucking bummer. I’d gotten tired of my father barking orders at me, controlling my every move. That was when I knew then I didn’t want, or need a Daddy.
I couldn’t stand for anyone to tell me anything, and maybe that was being stupid, arrogant, or narcissistic, but I was sheltered, and it was all my parents’ fault. They waited until I was twenty-four to start ordering me around.
I’d been on a quest to find myself since I was fifteen and perhaps I’d stepped over a line, and my father had to intervene at this late stage in my life. You’d think he would have done something earlier, but no, he was the understanding and a doting father until I took it too far, and then he stood over me one morning just as I was waking up, and having my morning jack off.
“I want you out of here.” I’d awakened to growling and a sour expression, turned over, and placed my pillow over my head. I thought if I ignored him, he’d leave like before. Big mistake. There he was standing over my bed with my cock wrapped tightly in my fist with me snuggled under the covers, having this wonderful dream about fucking this handsome dude in Venice.
I write steamy gay romance books, and I love to read hot M/M romance. Maybe steamy is too mild a term for my books. Maybe I should say that my gay romance books are hot, hot, hot. I enjoy writing about strong, flawed men who don’t mind saying they’re sorry when they hurt the ones they love.
I read and write across genres and what gives me pleasure, and there is nothing more pleasurable or satisfying to me than to write a happy ever after hot M/M romance with a kink or two.
My favorite books to read are anything M/M and vampires, werewolves, mystery, and steamy romance. I have been busy with reading and writing to bring you the best M/M romance books. Enjoy!
