Crossroads: a point at which a crucial decision must
be made that will have far-reaching consequences
Clete Deveraux is a little old Southern
boy a long way from home, drifting the highways with his abusive boyfriend,
Vern. Tal Clark is newly graduated from the University of Missouri in Columbia,
but his plans for a carefree summer have just been derailed and he’s not sure
what he’s going to do.
Things happen for
a reason…
Clete and Tal’s lives intersect at a rest
stop in central Missouri, but sometimes first impressions aren’t the best. And
finding the right path isn’t always easy.
Clete and Tal have reached a crossroads…
and now they have to decide which way they want to go. And who they want to go
with.
Excerpt
As
he rounded the corner, he stopped dead in his tracks, his thought not only
unfinished, but completely slammed from his head by the sight before him. A figure
stood in front of one of the vending machines, slender legs encased in tight
blue jeans that led to the most gorgeous ass Tal thought he’d ever seen in his
life, a notion that was seconded by his dick, which twitched its agreement.
Genie
who?
The
girl had fine blonde hair, so pale it seemed almost white, but maybe that was
just due to the harshness of the lights. Tal’s heart was beating a staccato
tattoo inside his chest at the way she shifted her weight from one leg to the
next. His imagination began to run rampant, as he pictured himself placing his
hands on those dainty hips, drawing her to him as he nibbled on her neck. He
couldn’t remember the last time he’d been this turned on. A little voice inside
his head rejoiced. Genie was wrong—he wasn’t what she’d said he was, and this
was proof positive of that. It was all her fault if he found more pleasure in a
book than in her bed. See? The proof of his sexuality was here, staring him in
the face. Well, her ass, his face.
And
then she turned, and in the next moment all his illusions shattered around him.
She...was...a he.
Just
damn.
This
guy was pretty enough to be a girl, easily, Tal’s confused libido tried to make
amends. He wore small hoop earrings in one ear that jingled lightly when he
turned his head. His eyes were a blue so pale they almost disappeared into his
face, his smooth skin lightly tanned, which only brought out the pinkness of
his pretty lips.
Pretty
lips? Where had that come from?
Author bio:
Julie Lynn Hayes first began publishing short
stories and poetry in the 1990’s, when it was a different ballgame altogether,
and Ebooks hadn’t been dreamed of yet. That changed in 2010 with the acceptance
of her first romance novel. She’s come a long way since that first book
appeared, and is finding the journey a very educational one.
She lives in St. Louis with her daughter Sarah and
her cat Ramesses. She often writes of two men finding true love and happiness
in one another’s arms, and is a great believer in the happily ever after. She
likes to write in different genres, to stretch herself in order to see what is
possible. Her great challenge is to be told something can’t be done—she feels
compelled to do it.
When she isn’t writing, she enjoys crafts, such as
crocheting and cross stitch, needlepoint and knitting, and she loves to cook,
spending time watching the Food Network. Her favorite chef is Geoffrey
Zakarian. Her family thinks she’s a bit off, but she doesn’t mind. Marching to
the beat of one’s own drummer is a good thing, after all. Her published works
can be found at Dreamspinner Press, eXtasy Books, and Amber Quill Press.
