Description
Frank Sinclair believes only in the visceral, the real, what he can touch and taste. After all, his mother left him when he was five years old, so how can love exist? His next sexual conquest is what makes his world go around, not romance and happily ever after. The hot guy he sees working along the highway in an orange jumpsuit fuels his bad-boy fantasies. Coincidentally, the guy shows up at the gas station across the street from his apartment building, and you can bet he's going to take his shot.
Roy Ingalls is his bad-boy parolee in orange, and he's ready and oh-so-willing to be Frank's next conquest. But Roy isn't quite the bad boy he seems-deep down he's sweet, naïve... and the most intoxicating man Frank has ever met.
The sex is the best of their lives, but can a man who mistrusts love and another who isn't ready to admit he's actually gay ever move beyond friends with benefits?
More details
Person
B.G. "Ben" Thomas lives in Kansas City with his husband of more than a decade and their delightful dogs Sarah Jane and Oliver. He is blessed to have a daughter as well as many extraordinary friends.
Ben loves romance, comedies, fantasy, science fiction, and even horror-as far as he is concerned, as long as the stories are entertaining and about people, it doesn't matter the genre. He has gone to literature conventions his entire adult life where he's been lucky enough to meet many of his favorite writers. They have inspired him to create his own stories; it is where he finds his joy.
In the nineties, he wrote for gay adult magazines but stopped because the editors wanted all sex without plot. "The sex is never as important as the characters," he says. "Who cares what they are doing if we don't care about them?" But then he discovered the growing male/male romance market and began writing again. He submitted a novella and was thrilled when it was accepted in four days. Since then the romantic tales have poured out of him.
"Leap, and the net will appear" is his personal philosophy and his message. "It is never too late," he testifies. "Pursue your dreams. They will come true!"
