Happy SSS Everyone--My excerpt today is from Hearts and Flour. This quirky MM contemporary comes out on Feb 1st.
Here's the blurb if you'd like a nibble:
To Micah Truveen, raw, vegan food is his religion. So
when his devoted customers show up with white flour cupcakes, Micah could kill.
Then Micah comes home to find his boyfriend, Dharamaram, in bed with someone
else. He throws the rat out and agrees to go to his friend’s orgiastic
anti-Valentines party where he meets a gorgeous cross-dressing guy who gives
him a night to remember.
Southerner Quentin Darby wishes he could stop wearing
women’s clothes. He so wants to live up to his grandmother’s glowing opinion of
him, he’s never even told her he’s gay. And now there’s Micah who makes him
wish he could just be who he is. But Micah finds out that Quentin is the baker
responsible for the plague of cupcakes afflicting the community! And Dharmaram
adds a little blackmail to the mix. Can two hearts rise above the flour?
And here are my sentences:
Man,
what a beauty. Delicate, sculptured features—wide eyes, soft lips, a pointed
chin—all surrounded by the velvet blanket of smooth gold hair.
Micah
stared and…stared. Beautiful face. Beautiful Adam’s apple.
“You’re
a guy.”
