One weekend could lead to forever if Jett can take the plunge.
Blurb
Jett didn’t expect to spend the weekend trapped in a remote holiday house with his best friend’s brother. As they try to pass the time, Kian’s bright enthusiasm starts to break through Jett’s gruff defences. When Kian offers to help Jett explore his desires with no strings attached, everything changes.
Fooling around when your heart isn’t on the line is one thing, but when the weekend ends, neither man wants their casual arrangement to end. Past betrayal has made Jett wary of trusting anyone, but even though Kian’s patience seems to be never-ending, Jett knows it’s only a matter of time before ‘no strings’ turns into ‘goodbye’.
Can Jett look past his fear and make the man who’s claimed his heart his?
Take the Plunge is a standalone contemporary M/M romance where a jaded man with a permanent storm cloud over his head falls for a sunshiny optimist. There’s forced proximity, an interfering best friend, swoony moonlight swimming, bi-sexual exploration, and lots of first times.
“Did you say there was a phone in the office?” Jett asks
“This way.”
He stomps alongside me to the office. Then we stand and stare.
“Where’s the phone?” he asks.
“It should be on the desk.”
Except it isn’t.
We look on the desk, beside it, under it, and behind it.
Jett lifts up the phone cable. “They took the fucking phone. It’s fucking miles to the main road. How do they expect us to hike there with no shoes and socks?”
“I don’t think they do.”
“This is bad.”
“Rufus’s note said they’d come back tomorrow night to pick us up.”
“That’s hours away! What are we supposed to do for two days?”
Have wild passionate sex. That would take up a lot of time.
I shrug. “Watch DVDs?” The house doesn’t get a TV signal, but we have built up a decent DVD collection over the years.
“How are you so calm about all this?”
“Because there’s nothing we can do about it, so what’s the point in getting worked up?” I put my un-handcuffed hand on my hip. “I don’t agree with Rufus’s methods, but he’s right. You need to relax.”
“I don’t have time to relax.”
I doubt that’s true. He works in IT, doing—something. His job can’t involve working every evening and every weekend. More likely he doesn’t want to relax. If only I knew why.
“Well, now you do have time,” I say. “Stop fighting it and go with the flow.”
He glowers.
I press my thumb to his forehead and rub.
“What the fuck are you doing?”
“Trying to erase your frown. You’ll age yourself prematurely if you keep making faces like that.”
He narrows his eyes.
I tap my lips. “We need to think of relaxing ways to pass the time.” I stick my finger in the air. “I know.”
“What?”
“There’s no need to sound so distrusting.”
“What brilliant idea have you come up with?” Curiosity lightens his tone.
“A blow job. Me giving you one, obviously.”
Colette’s personal love story began at university, where she met her future husband. An evening of flirting, in the shadow of Lancaster castle, eventually led to a fairytale wedding. She’s enjoying her own ‘happy ever after’ in the north of England with her husband, two beautiful children and her writing.
