Heads
or Tails
Jeff
Roberts life is all planned out for him. He's engaged to the
boss's daughter, and eventually he'll run the construction/real
estate company he works for. It'll be the perfect life.
When Kurt Lacey joins the construction crew, Jeff is suddenly
fighting urges he'd forced himself to repress. There were male
lovers in his past, but deciding that wasn't what he wanted,
Jeff proceeded to 'go straight'. Kurt has other ideas, and one
night together has Jeff rethinking his life. Does he want to be
secure, responsible and boring? Wild, exciting and
nontraditional seems like lots more fun. It all comes down to
the flip of a coin...and whether Jeff chooses Heads or Tails.

Excerpt:
Chapter
One
It
wasn't the best sex he'd ever had, but it was decent. Any sex
is good sex, his friends would say, and Jeff Roberts tended
to agree. But lately, something was different. He rolled away
from his fiancee, pretending to be asleep.
When
he heard her steady, rhythmic breathing, he rolled back over.
Lana Birdwell looked peaceful in slumber, and much quieter than
she ever was when she was awake. Long, blond curls framed her
face, giving her a deceivingly angelic appearance. He bit back a
chuckle at the thought--no one who knew Lana would ever confuse
her with an angel.
A
'bubbly personality' was how her father described her, and that
was putting it mildly in Jeff's estimation. She was an outgoing,
opinionated girl who liked to hear her own voice. Her slight
stature might indicate frailty or shyness, but he knew she was
tough as nails--a real saleswoman without a shy bone in her
body.
But
what a body, he thought, glancing at her round, perfectly
formed breasts. They sat high atop her slender torso, which also
sported bikini-worthy abs. Her legs were long and shapely,
converging at a neatly trimmed apex of soft blond hair. Jeff
looked at the V-shaped patch of fuzz and wondered why the sight
didn't arouse him as much as it used to.
With
a flick of his wrist, he tossed the sheet and covered her body.
Lana sighed and snuggled into her pillow without waking. Jeff
rolled over and tugged the sheet up to his neck, willing sleep
to overtake him.

"Rise
and shine," Lana murmured in his ear, planting a kiss on
his temple.
Jeff
opened his eyes, unsure of when he actually fell asleep. The
last time he noticed the clock it was three a.m. He'd tossed and
turned half the night, and now felt like hell. "Ugh,"
he grunted.
"Didn't
sleep well?" She stood, fastening a large earring on her
left lobe. "Seemed like you were up a lot."
"Yeah."
He threw one arm across his forehead.
She
went to the dresser and picked up her other earring. Looking in
the bureau mirror, she put the hoop on and glanced at him.
"You always stress out about month's end. Running all the
paperwork, making sure everything balances--which it always
does, by the way. I don't know why you worry so much."
He
started to say it wasn't month's end bothering him, but then
she'd want to know what was. Jeff wasn't sure he could answer
that question, so it was better to let her believe it was work.
"Yeah," he answered noncommittally.
Lana
double-checked her appearance in the mirror one last time before
turning to face him. "I've got to go. I have a seven-thirty
appointment to go over some real estate listings, and I want to
pick up coffee and rolls first."
"See
you later." He waved one hand in the air, and she grabbed
it and squeezed.
"You bet you will."

Heads or Tails
is a fun read. The ending was similar to the riding-off-into-the-sunset
sort of endings. Very satisfying.
