Defending the Drag Queen
Description
In what world would a professional athlete want to date a drag queen?
Certainly not Mark Roncalli's. Mild mannered CPA during the week and the drag queen known as "Lady Jazz" on the weekends, Mark keeps his two worlds separate. Mark's sexuality and his flamboyant and aberrant avocation don't mesh well with traditional Italian family values and masculine sensibilities--at least according to his brothers.
Elijah Turner's life revolves around diabetes and hockey, in that order. Which leaves very little time for relationships. Most of the men he's dated felt like a third wheel to the realities of Elijah's life. They were willing to put up with the hockey because Elijah's a rich professional athlete. Not so much the diabetes which requires 24/7 vigilance and not so many indulgences.
When Elijah asks Mark to date him, will Mark take a chance and believe Elijah over the longstanding denigration by and judgement of his family?

Person
Jen FitzGerald has loved romance since her Winnie the Pooh days--Christopher Robin and Winnie the Pooh have always been platonic soul mates. Long before she had the language for it, she recognized something special in stories about connection, loyalty, and love. A lifelong romance reader, she began writing fan fiction before moving on to original stories that explore tension, intimacy, and the complicated ways people find their way to each other.
Jen lives in Fort Worth, Texas, with her husband and the little dog she didn't know she needed. While their three children are now grown, two of their birdies have returned to the nest. When she's not working her day job, Jen can usually be found reading, writing, watching hockey, cross stitching, or chatting with fellow writers online.
