My Published Novels

 

Golden boy Clark Stevens is on the verge of realising his NFL dreams when he breaks his arm during a scrimmage. The injury is minor, but his attraction to the doctor who patches him up is not.

Dr. Jody Williams lost his heart to a man he buried five years ago. Still grieving, he's not looking for love. But the patient who's part Nordic God, part lost soul, ticks all his boxes, leaving him with feelings he didn't know he was still capable of having.

Beneath the flawless jock exterior, Clark is hiding not just his sexual identity, but a challenging disorder. His controlling father won't allow him to take meds to manage his ADD, fearing they'll affect his performance on the football field. Now his academic struggles have put his entire future in jeopardy, and Jody is more than happy to ride to the rescue as a tutor. But playing white knight quickly turns to more and the wild attraction between them can't be contained.

Athletes have started coming out, but it's always a gamble, especially without family support. Now Clark must decide. Should he hide his true self or risk it all for the man he loves?

San Francisco architect, Lil Lampert, is tired of the same old, same old, and a trip to visit good friends is just what he needs. But a day at the Taste of Chicago gives him more than he bargained for in the delectable form of a younger man who shares his passion for interior design, architecture and sexy lingerie.

By all appearances, Grier Dilorio is the quintessential bad boy---all leather, speed, and tattoos. But Lil slowly uncovers another side—selfless, responsible, and tender, especially toward Luca, the son he's had to deny is his own.

What should have been a brief interlude turns more meaningful. Lil offers practical advice and unconditional love, infusing Grier with the courage he needs to own up to his mistakes and fight for his parental rights. And Lil gets to sample fatherhood, an experience he never dared to dream he'd have. Can these two men turn their time together into something permanent or will a taste of happiness be all they get?

Taste is book 2 of the Horizons Series but can be read as a standalone. 

Six months after meeting at the Taste of Chicago, Lil Lampert and Grier Dilorio have moved in together. Their love glows brighter than ever, but the couple soon realizes that it takes more than three magic words and outstanding sex to make a partnership work.

Grier’s problems should have ended when Jillian acknowledged him as Luca's biological father and he began to pursue a career in interior design. Instead, he's hampered by old fears and bad habits that are hard to let go.

Adjusting to a small apartment in a four-season state—with a much younger man and his eight-year-old son—is a challenge for Lil. His position as Luca's "Daddio" is a delicate balancing act between doing what he thinks is right and deferring to Grier's experience.

Life is stressed enough, but now Lil and Grier also face an unexpected complication from their son’s parochial school. Suddenly Luca's safety—and their happiness as an emerging family—depends on Lil's keen understanding of human nature and Grier's willingness to learn.

Daddio is book 3 in the Horizons Series and a direct sequel to Taste.

It was always a monstrous lie...

Born with a sexual development disorder, Chyna Davidson should have been raised as a male, but due to an epic parenting fail, is being raised as female. Hiding the truth becomes more difficult when Chyna hits puberty, and crushing over Luca Dilorio, her brother's best friend, adds another element to Chyna’s struggle to fit in.

Growing up with two dads and two gay uncles has given Luca a unique perspective on gender roles, but not all the answers. He’s had a secret crush on his straight best friend, Chip, for years. Suddenly, Luca finds himself attracted to Chyna, Chip’s twin sister. Now he's wondering if this means he’s bisexual.

With Lil and Grier away on vacation, fifteen-year-old Luca is left in the care of Chicago Bear, Clark Stevens, and his partner, Dr. Jody Williams. Is his moral compass strong enough to guide him successfully through this period of discovery without his parents loving presence or will he succumb to peer pressure and shatter Chyna's dreams for happiness?

Chyna Doll is book 4 in the Horizons series and a direct sequel to Daddio. 

Chyna Davidson, embarks on a modeling career based out of Manhattan, New York, while his boyfriend, Luca Dilorio begins his freshman year at Cornell University.

Zeb Araneda, a recent arrival from the Philippines, is Luca’s new roommate. He lends a sympathetic ear, and a solid friendship is born, but it doesn’t keep Luca from worrying.

Chyna learns to navigate the ups and downs of the modeling industry. However, this proves difficult with Luca micromanaging everything, from Chyna’s diet to his choice in a roommate. After rejecting several candidates, Chyna and Luca decide on fellow model, Alex Boulet, who turns out to be perfect in more ways than one.

An unexpected appearance raises a multitude of concerns, and the entire family, Lil, Grier, Clark, Jody, and Chip, descend upon the young couple to offer their support. Will Luca and Chyna weather the storm or succumb to pressure from multiple fronts?
