Hi everyone!
Last week I shared a fun character interview with Everett,
the hero from my gay romance, A Secret Match. I hope readers enjoyed hearing
from Ev!
This week, I’m sharing one of Ev’s favorite excerpts from the
book. It’s tender, sweet, and one of my favorite scenes too.
I hope you enjoy!
And if you’re looking for more gay romances, don’t miss Four
Days with Jack (a sultry coming out story) and the super-hot paranormal, Killer

A SECRET MATCH
Everett Kinkade is a world-famous professional wrestler and
the sexy heartthrob of millions of adoring female fans. But Ev has a secret he
doesn’t dare share with anyone. He’s gay.
After years of being Ev’s secret lover, Josh is tired of
hiding in the shadows and wants Ev to openly acknowledge their relationship.
Coming out is the last thing Ev wants and fears it will ruin his career.
One night in a moment of truth, Everett outs himself on live
TV. There’s no going back, and his announcement sparks a firestorm of
problems—both personally and professionally. He’s forced to come to grips with
who he really is while facing down a manipulative boss and a tag-team out to
destroy him.
Torn between living a lie and losing the man he loves, Ev
has risked everything… can he find a balance between his career and his heart?
The Excerpt:
Everett finished his beer and gazed around the living room.
It was comforting to have someone to talk to instead of constantly keeping
everything bottled up inside. It had been years since he’d been alone with a
guy, and he liked Josh, liked him a lot. But he was worried. What if something
went wrong? What if Josh told someone?
Josh gave his shoulder a little shove. “Come on, out with
it, Muscles. Either you really love staring at my bookcase, or you’re too shy
to face me. I know you’re thinking about something behind those beautiful blue
eyes.”
“I… nah…”
“What? Anything. Say it.”
He sneaked a glance at Josh out of the corner of his eye. “I
was wondering what it would feel like to”—he bowed his head—“kiss you.”
“Why don’t we find out?” Josh took Ev’s empty beer bottle
and set it down on the marble end table. “Come here.”
He let Josh draw him into his arms. Ev closed his eyes and
waited, his heart hammering out of control.
A second later, Josh’s lips gently pressed against his. Ev
gasped and kissed him back gingerly. Josh increased the pressure, and their
mouths moved in unison. The scent of Josh’s spicy vanilla cologne washed over
him and he lost himself in the tender embrace. Josh’s beard grazed his cheek,
sending an electric tingle racing up his spine. God, this was good.
He clutched Josh tighter, holding on to him for dear life,
not daring to let go. Josh groaned and slid his tongue into his mouth. An
adrenaline rush of excitement flooded through him.
Dear God, he wasn’t supposed to have these kinds of
feelings, this hunger, for another man, but it felt right. The wet heat of
Josh’s tongue swirling around his drove him into a frenzy, and he kissed Josh
deeper, praying this would never end.
After a few minutes, Josh eased away. “You are amazing. That
was hot.”
Ev smiled. “It’s been so long. I forgot how good this could
be. I feel safe with you. I really do.”
Josh rested his head on Ev’s chest. “You should, because you
are. And don’t worry, we’ll take this slow. You set the pace, Muscles. Whatever
you’re comfortable with works for me.”
