HIS TRIP OF A LIFETIME -- FREE ON KINDLE UNLIMITED!
Alex Brady was looking for some excitement in his life, but
nothing could have prepared him for what a trip to Tuscany would bring
him—excitement, yes, but with an undercurrent of danger that could
possibly end up costing him far more than the price of the vacation.
When
Alex tells his best friend Russ of his proposed trip to Tuscany, Russ
tries to dissuade him, especially when Alex explains he'll be renting a
car and making his own way around a foreign country. Russ is sure Alex
will get lost or mugged.
On his first night in Florence, Alex meets
Gavin Andrews, a handsome Scotsman, and looks forward to a more than
pleasant start to his ‘trip of a lifetime'.
But Gavin disappears
without a word, and although disappointed by the Scot's apparent lack of
interest, Alex continues with his tour of Tuscany in his rented car,
staying overnight at the Villa Lorenzo, a converted farmhouse run by two
gay men, John and Alfredo.
What follows is far more excitement than Alex ever bargained for — a kidnapping, a murder, and ultimately an offer of marriage!
Truly, for Alex this is his trip of a lifetime.

book was previously published as Trip of a Lifetime. It has been

HIGHLAND HEARTS -- A NEW EDITION
Callum Robertson has inherited his grandfather’s mansion in northern Scotland, but the house comes with a history he knew nothing about—should he be thrilled, or feel threatened as the house seems to lure him in?
When Callum Robertson first sees the old Scottish country mansion his grandfather bequeathed him, his immediate instinct is to sell the antiquated pile for whatever he can get for it—admittedly not much in a downturned market. Then he meets Craig MacPherson, a local farmer with auburn curls and sparkling gray eyes, and suddenly the gloomy old house doesn’t look quite the white elephant it first appeared to be.
Craig tells Callum that it’s rumored the house is haunted but by what or whom no one seems to know. Books flying off shelves then being mysteriously replaced give Callum pause to reconsider his rejection of the idea of an actual ghost haunting the place. When he finds a journal relating to the history of his family, he is, by turn, intrigued then fascinated as the saga unfolds through the writings of his ancestors.
An encounter with what he feels must be the spirit of his great-great-great-uncle Alistair makes him change his mind not only about selling the house, but also about his future with Craig.
** Highland Hearts was previously published. It has been lightly re-edited and updated, but remains true to the original story.

Fallon discovers when he is hired to investigate the death of a young
man whose body was found buried in a wooded canyon area of Los Angeles.

indiscretion of his business partner, Jeff Stevens.
Nick's
investigation leads him to a gay bar in LA, and from there to the city
of New Orleans where he finds what appear to be the answers to the
mystery. But what he has unraveled is only a small part of the truth.

is death
THE HIGHLANDER AND I -- A time traveling fantasy.
Synopsis: When LAPD Police Officer Darren Holden is told to check out a possible dead body lying in an alleyway, he finds a man who is unconscious but very much alive. Not only alive but gorgeous—and wearing a kilt. Darren is sure he knows the man, he just can’t remember where or when they might have met. It isn’t until that night, unable to sleep, that he realizes the stranger is a man he’d been dreaming of for some time—a man who had made love to him night after night.
The last thing Duncan MacGregor remembers is that he was home in Glen Ardor, Scotland, betrothed to Margaret MacAllister as a bond between their two feuding clans. Duncan believes he was enchanted by a witch who told him his destiny was not in Scotland, nor to be married to Margaret, but to have a life of love and adventure with a man—the man he had dreamed of night after night—Darren. Darren isn’t sure if Duncan is playing a game, suffering from amnesia or just plain nuts, but his attraction to Duncan outweighs his skepticism and he takes him home, determined to find the truth.
As much as Darren wants to believe him, his common sense warns him of the sheer impossibility of Duncan’s story. Nevertheless, the overwhelming sexual attraction both men feel for one another leads to a night of passionate lovemaking. Even then, Darren’s logical mind refuses to accept that such a thing is possible, but when a dangerous event threatens to tear them apart, Darren must believe or lose Duncan forever.
**This story was originally published as A Highlander in L.A. It has been lightly re-edited but remains true to the original story. Adults only. There are scenes of graphic intimacy between men.
