Today I brought along a special excerpt from my latest 1Night Stand book FINDING HIS FANTASY which will be out tomorrow and is available here:
All Romance | Amazon | BookStrand | Google Play | iBooks | Kobo | Smashwords
FINDING HIS FANTASY is my 4th 1NightStand book from Decadent Publishing. If you’re not familiar with the series, it is a multi-author series about a fantasy dating service run by a mysterious woman named Madame Eve. In this installment, Paul, a middle aged art gallery owner, and Josef, a Haitian bar owner in the Caribbean, have both hired the 1NightStand agency because they are tired of superficial relationships, and are looking for more. If you are as big a fan of 1NightStand books as I am, you may remember Paul from Wendy Burke’s story WISE MEN SAY. Wendy and I like to steal characters from each other. Josef had a cameo in my m/m story ACCIDENTALLY BEAUTIFUL.
Paul is one of those guys who says it like it is and is honest to a fault. Sometimes that honesty gets him into trouble, but he’s about to learn that the only way he will ever find his fantasy, is if he learns to share something that he’s never told a soul. Because when people hire Madame Eve from 1NightStand they don’t always get what they expect or how they expect it, but they do get what they need—love!
Here is a little excerpt of Paul talking to his BFF’s hubby Nick on the way to the airport. (Nick’s story can be found in the above mentioned het romance by Wendy Burke WISE MEN SAY)
Enjoy!

EXCERPTFINDING HIS FANTASY
“Since we’re in the mood for oversharing, well, I am anyways. Wanna know something that I haven’t told a soul?” Paul asked.
“Do I want to know?”
“I contacted Madame Eve and set up a date for myself while I’m on Grand Turk.”
“Wow!” Nick said. “That’s fantastic.”
“Fantastically expensive,” he huffed. The reminder of all the money he’d shelled out still made his asshole pucker. But after way too many cosmos one night, he’d started feeling sorry for himself. He hadn’t wanted to call Emmy and interrupt dinner with Nick—again—so instead he’d emailed Madame Eve. Emmy had moved on with her life and now it was Paul’s turn. A shimmer of excitement and fear danced up his spine.
At forty-eight years old in the gay world, his options had grown limited. He wanted someone sexually adventurous, young or at least young-acting. A man who liked art who could hold his own in an intellectual conversation, but not shallow like the men he worked around. Someone not after his money. All the guys his age were either taken or single for a reason. He refused to date a bear. Paul did not do body hair. At all. But he didn’t want to be the creeper hanging out at the club scoping the young twinks taking selfies, either.
God, he hoped Madame Eve could deliver….
“So how does 1Night Stand work?” Nick wanted to know.
“What do you mean? You hired Madame Eve once.”
“Yeah, but I was searching for someone specific. Do you have to fill out a questionnaire?”
He laughed. “Actually, yes, you do. And it’s super personal. Lots and lots of sex questions.”
And he had filled them all out with great detail, leaving nothing to chance. He didn’t want to fall victim to everybody’s first assumption about him—because he was on the flamboyant side, he must be a bottom. No way! Paul liked to be in control, in every aspect of his life, especially his love life. A man didn’t have to be “straight acting”—Gawd, he hated that phrase—to be a top. Wanting to live a little, however, he’d exaggerated somewhat on the form. He hadn’t exactly lied, but since he’d paid a fortune and this was supposed to be a fantasy, he’d filled out a fantasy request form.
What was the harm?
Forty-eight-year-old art gallery owner Paul Strait loves the nightlife—wild parties, stiff cocktails, and even stiffer men! But his decadent lifestyle has grown lonely and now he’s looking for love. Some days it seems the perfect guy must be a fantasy so he enlists the help of Madame Eve. After all, a fantasy service like 1Night Stand should be able to deliver his fantasy man, right?
Josef Debrossé runs an exotic gay bar in the Caribbean known only to locals and select tourists. The many patrons coming in and out of his bar ensure he never has a shortage of lovers, but he’s grown tired of being just a vacation fling. He wants to be another man’s lover and partner, not a mere souvenir from the islands.
Lost in a dance of lust and allure, both men are thrilled with Madame Eve’s choice for them and have an instant, intense connection. Flirting over drinks quickly leads to the bedroom. But after their fiery lust has been quenched, the night goes from fantasy to reality without warning. Secrets and frightening pasts threaten to shatter the magical illusion of their perfect date. Will this budding romance survive in the face of reality?
