By Quarry Lake (6 page)

This part of
Somerset is known for its limestone quarries. Some of the big ones
are still in operation (I sometimes get woken up by the 5 am quarry
train at the end of my garden!), but there are also many smaller
abandoned quarries dotted through the landscape. My favourites are
the ones in the woods where I go running. I often wonder what they
would be like flooded. Lovely to swim in, but probably very
cold.

I just needed
to invent a couple of characters to heat the water up…

Rob and Tommy
might go skinny dipping, but I think I’ll stick to my wetsuit when
swimming in the wilds around here!

Cheers for
reading!

English through
and through, Josephine Myles is addicted to tea and busy
cultivating a reputation for eccentricity. She writes gay erotica
and romance, but finds the erotica keeps cuddling up to the
romance, and the romance keeps corrupting the erotica. Jo blames
her rebellious muse but he never listens to her anyway, no matter
how much she threatens him with a big stick. She’s beginning to
suspect he enjoys it.

Jo now has over
a dozen novels and novellas under her belt. Her novel
Stuff
won the 2014 Rainbow Award for Best Bisexual Romance, and her
novella
Merry Gentlemen
won the 2014 Rainbow Award for Best
Gay Romantic Comedy. She has also been known to edit anthologies
and self-publish on occasion, although she prefers to leave the
“boring bits” of the ebook creation process to someone else. She
loves to be busy, and is currently having fun trying to work out
how she is going to fit in her love of writing, dressmaking and
attending cabaret shows in fabulous clothing around the demands of
a preteen with special needs and an insatiably curious toddler.

model in
Einstein’s Peep Show

heat when a bad boy art student hooks up with a straight-laced
fashion student in

Custom Fit

Nerdy by day,
naughty by night!

Nathan Wright
has a secret life. During the day he’s a dedicated student, working
hard for his maths degree. But times are tough, and in order to
make ends meet by night he becomes “Einstein”, wooing punters with
his online solo sex show. Still wounded by his last dysfunctional
relationship, Nathan’s happy being single. But when his highest
tipping client demands it, Einstein has to overcome his social
awkwardness to rope in some extra help.

Party boy Rory
Jones has never given his geeky neighbour a second glance, but he’s
not one to turn down the offer of a free blow job, even when Nathan
tells him it’s going online. Once on camera, Rory discovers his
exhibitionist streak and the two of them are so hot together, the
one-off becomes a regular gig.

But being
neighbours with benefits isn’t without its challenges. Nathan’s
client keeps wanting more, and he finds himself pushed into a role
he’s not prepared for. Meanwhile Rory’s growing affection leaves
him worried his ultra-rational lover won’t ever be able to share
his emotions. If he and Nathan can’t find something more than great
sex in common, they’ll be left with the square root of absolute
zero.

When Mr. Wrong
measures up just right!

College tart
Felix McAvoy is used to causing a stir with his conceptual art
pranks, but for his final show he’s planning something even more
outrageous. In a last ditch attempt to seduce his jaded tutor,
Felix plans to wear the canvas in a subversive display. However, if
he’s going to do this right he’ll need a tailor-made canvas suit.
Fortunately, he knows just the tailor to turn to for the favour—and
Felix isn’t shy about offering favours of a very different kind in
return.

First year
fashion student Andrew Wheeler knows Felix by reputation only–and
plans to keep things that way. Andrew’s determined to save himself
for the man of his dreams, and Felix couldn’t be more different
from his ideal Mr Right. There’s only one use Andrew will
contemplate for Felix’s body: a model for his end of year project.
Trouble is, it’s going to involve a lot of close contact with a
nearly naked Felix, and Andrew’s never had temptation quite so
close at hand!

Being “wrong”
has never felt so right!

Felix McAvoy is
having an identity crisis. No longer the bad boy of art college,
he’s now employed as a human billboard, roaming the centre of Bath
dressed as a Roman soldier while attempting to fight off his
nicotine cravings. It’s a come down for the former conceptual
artist, although there are compensations to the costume. The skirt,
for one…

While Felix
hasn’t made a secret of his desire to wear women’s clothing, he’s
never dared try it until now. He’s always been worried once he goes
down that road, he won’t want to come back, and the prospect of
cross-dressing 24/7 terrifies him. Of course, he can’t tell that to
Andrew, who’s now busy making Felix a slutty red dress.

Andrew Wheeler
loves coming home to Felix and their cosy city centre flat. He just
wishes Felix would let him know what’s bothering him; maybe then
Andrew could confide what he really wants. Felix might not see him
as anything other than a top, but Andrew’s yearning to switch
things up.

Living together
is one thing. Actually plucking up the courage to talk about their
secret desires is going to be a whole other—and excruciatingly
embarrassing—kettle of fish.

To be released in
August 2016
