Jason Lewis is a self-proclaimed nerdy guy who hates his red hair. Bullied most of his life, at twenty-three social situations still make him awkward.

On a trip to the World Video Game Expo in Las Vegas, Jason decides to enlist the help of Destiny Ink in his failed romantic endeavors.

While at the con, he runs into sexy, professional baseball pitcher Blake Huntington, the guy he tutored in high school.

Blake invites him to a party and after hanging out with his high school crush, Jason begins to regret booking his Destiny encounter later that night. He has no idea that he’s about to have the best night ever.

Excerpt

Would his old friend even remember him? He’d tutored him for six months, and they saw a movie once. For some reason, Blake had always waited after his second hour math class until Jason arrived for Spanish to give him updates about his progress or sometimes just to ruffle up his hair and say, “Hey, short-stack.” Jason had been late to Spanish so many times, he got a few demerits, but seeing Blake had been the highlight of his day. Overall the teasing had lessened that year with the baseball star being nice to him. Too bad they hadn’t had the same lunch hour. Blake even invited him to his graduation party, but Jason, still too shy, had opted to send a gift rather than attend.

#regretthatnow

Thankfully, Abby bought him contacts and a car junior year, and he signed up to take some college courses via a postsecondary option program where he earned high school and college credit for basic classes. By eating lunch in the guidance counselor’s office, he’d managed to avoid the daily harassment, his swirly average being reduced to less than one a semester. Though still living at home, he flourished in the more academic setting of college. He even joined a martial arts club, got in shape, and made some real friends.

Jason was a far different man than that nervous, scared boy of fifteen.

Blake had a powerful effect on his life, but Jason was probably a footnote to him. That nerdy, red-haired geek who helped him pass math. What was his name again?

He should turn around and forget this whole idea. But all too soon, the man directing the flow of traffic asked him which player he wanted to meet.

His throat went dry. “Blake Huntington.”

The man gestured for Jason to enter the center line. His heart skipped when he caught a glimpse of Blake at the table of famous ballers.

My God, the man was sexier than the screensaver of him Jason had on his computer.

In between all that fun, Deanna cherishes the quiet times when she can let her wildly active imagination have the full run of her mind.

Her fascination with people and the interworkings of their relationships have always inspired her to write romance with spice and love without boundaries.

Out Collection Cover

Blurb

I had two things on my list when I arrived in Los Angeles. One, track down Henry Bennington, the uncle and guardian of my little brother’s best friend Tyler, and tell him to get his ass back to Washington—because his nephew was getting out of control. And two, figure out just how non-straight I was.

Nowhere on this list did it say, “Get Tyler’s uncle into bed and fall for him.”

Nowhere.

***

In this 150,000-word complete collection, Zach and Henry bare it all. You’ll get wild Los Angeles nights, the overwhelming emotional roller coaster of discovering yourself, plans gone awry, adventures, laugh-out-loud moments, and sizzling romance.

This is the complete collection of every story revolving around Zach and Henry. All 150,000 words of them, starting with the first novel, Out, continuing with the holiday sequel, Out for the Holidays, and followed by a novella previously only available to Cara’s newsletter subscribers, Out Cruising, as well as brand new content titled Out and About.

About The Author

cara dee image

I’m often awkwardly silent or, if the topic interests me, a chronic rambler. In other words, I can discuss writing forever and ever. Fiction, in particular. The love story—while a huge draw and constantly present—is secondary for me, because there’s so much more to writing romance fiction than just making two (or more) people fall in love and have hot sex.

There’s a world to build, characters to develop, interests to create, and a topic or two to research thoroughly.

Every book is a challenge for me, an opportunity to learn something new, and a puzzle to piece together. I want my characters to come to life, and the only way I know to do that is to give them substance—passions, history, goals, quirks, and strong opinions—and to let them evolve.

I want my men and women to be relatable. That means allowing room for everyday problems and, for lack of a better word, flaws. My characters will never be perfect.

Wait…this was supposed to be about me, not my writing.

I’m a writey person who loves to write. Always wanderlusting, twitterpating, kinking, cooking, baking, and geeking. There’s time for hockey and family, too. But mostly, I just love to write.

Can one drunken night in Vegas and a pair of wedding rings lead to a happily ever after?

Love has never been a good bet for Chris, so going on a Vegas wedding trip for his friends is bittersweet. Especially when Ant, the last man to break his trust, is suddenly along for the ride. Which explains why Chris wakes up in his hotel room with the mother of all hangovers. Not so much why Ant is in his bed … or worse, wearing a matching wedding band.

Ant invited himself on a Vegas trip, gambling on a second chance with the man who got away. He never dreamt he’d be the one with a wedding ring on his finger, but if their predicament gets Chris talking to him again, he’ll make the most of it.

Between keeping their secret from friends and trying to figure out what really happened that first crazy night in Vegas, passions ignite.

If they can hold on to their fresh start, maybe the Vegas motto doesn’t have to hold true: What happens in Vegas doesn’t have to stay there.

Author Bio

DJ Jamison is the author of more than a dozen m/m romances, including the Ashe Sentinel series and the Hearts and Health series. She writes a variety of queer characters, from gay to bisexual to asexual, with a focus on telling love stories that are more about common ground than lust at first sight.

DJ grew up in the Midwest in a working-class family, and those influences can be found in her writing through characters coping with real-life problems: money troubles, workplace drama, family conflicts and, of course, falling in love.

She spent more than a decade in the newspaper industry before chasing her first dream to write fiction. She spent a lifetime reading before that, and continues to avidly devour her fellow authors’ books each night. She lives in Kansas with her husband, two sons, two fish and, regrettably, one snake.
