He’s a cop tangling with the most dangerous man in town…

“As long as he knows the deal, it’s fine. He hates cops, so it should make for some pretty rough scratch-your-back sex.”

Chief of police Jamie Allen is smitten by the new arrival in his remote Alaskan town of Barrow until he realizes Ephram Welles comes with baggage—he’s an ex-con.

Any liaison between them is strictly forbidden. Jamie would be risking his job and reputation if he tangles with a convicted felon.

But Ephram isn’t easy to resist. He’s everywhere Jamie turns, and the mutual chemistry between them is sizzling hot, just waiting to explode. Jamie’s willing to risk everything for just one night of passion with Ephram, but can he stop there?

Opinions are like arseholes. Everybody's got one.

I polarise people and always have. I usually have gushing reviews or awful reviews. I'm a bit like marmite in that way. I must admit that I get a kick out of not conforming to the stereotype of m/m writers. 

What I don't write.

Cardboard characters

"Fluff"

Characters behaving as society expects them to

Bland

What I do write:

Fiction. 

Emphasis on the fiction. It's make-belief. Because of that, I can write what I want. I can create a character that I want, not one the reader thinks I should. If I want a character to sleep with another even though it would be completely unprofessional, I will. If I want a character to love another character who is a despicable person, I will. If I want to write about a despicable person, then I will. Because there are complicated, contrary and not nice people out there. And they are the reality of this world, not the sweetness and light commonly portrayed in m/m novels.

Blurbs for My Last 3 Books with Content Warnings

 CAPTURED

Blurb:

“I’m not going anywhere until I’ve slept in your nice warm bed. If you haven’t got an electric blanket, I’ll expect you to warm me up personally.”

Who is the man with the gun? Friend or foe? Enemy or lover?

Dark Themes Throughout My Books and Content Warnings

 It has come to my attention that Amazon are banning books based on words mentioned in the author's description of the book. As I sometimes (but not all the time) write dark themes, I believe in being up front with the content of my books and mentioning them in warnings after the blurb. 

Example themes in my books:

I Like to Write Bastards!

 I like to write bastards! Especially tall, dark handsome bastards in a suit. It’s more fun to explore and dissect the psyche of someone real and flawed with issues, than a cardboard nice guy. I also like to make them work hard for their redemption. Sometimes that takes more than one book.

Here’s the top 10 bastards I have written.

1. Dexter Summerfield (Uptight American adrift in the UK. Absolutely not gay. Highland Fling and Beautifully Haunted, Wildcat series)

2. Dante Jardine (Bastard in a suit running a den of iniquity. Inferno)

3. Lucifer (Fallen angel. I am Fallen)

4. Matt Harmon (Rich bastard in denial. Rescue Me)
