Swept Away
Queer Adult Romance with Upmarket Themes
William “Hawk” Hawkins thought teaching in small town Texas would be the perfect job, since everyone is supposed to leave him at the end of the school year. But when the mother of one of Hawk’s students spills her life’s tragedies in his lap before fleeing town, Hawk finds himself stepping in to help her harried yet unsurprised ex-husband, Gabe, carry the single-father load. What’s meant to be a temporary solution starts feeling permanent when Hawk and Gabe bond over shared traumas on an out-of-town field trip.
If Hawk lives on flight’s hair-trigger due to the tragic flood that killed his father (and nearly killed himself), Gabe’s his polar opposite, spurred by his own near-death experience to hold on with a vice-grip to anything that makes him and his son happy. Hawk wants to believe he can hold onto something built to last. But if there’s one thing living in hurricane country has taught him, it’s that you can’t always protect the people you love against forces beyond your control.
Burn Out, WIP
Queer Adult Contemporary Romance
Daisy Jones and The Six X Star Shipped
If Isaac “Zac” Kelly had one wish, it would be to never again hear about the band, “Get Yer Goat.” Living an ocean away from his former bandmates, he’s mostly been able to avoid memories of his unwanted legacy. But when his former producer shows up the night of Zac’s most recent failure, Zac’s forced to reckon with the past he thought he’d buried long ago.
All Zac has to do is reunite with the band for one last show to celebrate the twentieth anniversary of their debut album and he’ll be set for … okay, not life exactly, but he’ll gain enough cushion to last a few more months while he figures out what to do with himself. Too bad reuniting with the band means coming face-to-face with the one man Zac swore he’d never speak to again: Apollo Solinofoto, lead singer and keyboardist for Grammy Award-winning BIESTS, the band Get Yer Goat became after Zac left. The man living the dream Zac abandoned.
