A CHRISTMAS PORTRAIT -- M/M MYSTERY/ROMANCE -- AVAILABLE ON KINDLE UNLIMITED!

“What the heck is a pantomime?” Jeff asks, as well he might…

A Christmas pantomime—a British tradition—when families flock to the theatre for ribald entertainment, gender-bending roles, and thinly veiled innuendo. But jealousy, hate, murder? Surely that’s not part of the entertainment? Or so Peter and Jeff think when they accept an invitation to spend Christmas in London from their longtime friends Rod and ‘A’ (short for Arthur). ‘A’ is making his return to the stage in Cinderella, playing one of the ugly sisters.

Things get ugly for real when Ken Blackwell, playing the other sister, tries to shake up Arthur’s self-esteem by calling him a washed-up old has-been, then goes on a rampage when the show’s director falls ill and Rod is asked to replace him.

Peter’s psychic intuition helps him see past the pantomime’s gaudy glitter and into the dark secrets some people are desperate to conceal.

 

**A Christmas Portrait is part of the Portrait Series - it can be read as a stand-alone although it helps to have read Book One - A Portrait of Phillip.**

 DIAL 'S' FOR SEX -- AN EROTIC JOURNEY TO LOVE 

 What do you do when you catch the man you’ve shared your life and your condo with, rent free, in bed with a stranger? Throw him out of course. I’d have thrown the stranger out too, even though he looked like a cross between the Hulk and the Rock… but he left of his own accord. Rafe, my ex, was a beautiful would-be male model with a big libido and no morals, but I missed him and was lonesome enough to answer an ad in the local gay rag. Dial S For Sex was the headline.

I wasn’t familiar with phone sex, but boy did I get hooked after the first few words spoken by Logan, the man who answered my call. Just the way he said my name – Jack, was enough for me to want more and more of his sweet and sexy voice.
The sex we had on the phone made me long to actually hold him in my arms and kiss him silly, but Logan had strict rules, one of which was no meeting face to face with a client.

But aren't rules made to be broken?

What follows is a bewildering series of events, and who can they believe? Shelley Byington, the dead man's fiancée, Shaun, her gay brother, or Arnold Byington, her less than loving father? Then there’s the guy’s wife―the woman who hired Nick and Jeff in the first place, and who doesn’t shed one tear over the news he’s now her dearly departed.

When Shelley turns up missing, Nick and Jeff have their hands full trying to sort the truth from the lies―and when Nick has to face dangerous gunmen, with only Shelley’s inexperienced brother at his side, who knows what the outcome will be?
