Wine & Song: Books 1 - 3 / Wine & Song (ePub)

From botched mugging to unlikely love.

A boxset of the first three books of the Wine & Song series:

Songs You Know by Heart
When David was younger, he spent a lot of Saturday nights on his knees: in alleys, in men's rooms, occasionally behind a hedge in Central Park. He liked it rough and he still does, but he tries to be safer about his choice of partners and locations these days.

He didn't expect an attempted mugging to be the cause of his relapse. The guy shoves him up against a tree and puts a knife to his throat, and something in his voice makes David want to offer him anything - so he does.

It was a stupid idea - David's had a million of them - but he got it out of his system. When his mugger shows up at his door in the rain like a lost puppy, it's hard to say who is more surprised when David invites him to come inside.

Music in a Dry Country
David wanted a nice trip to the Argentine wine country with his new boyfriend, Jazz. He wanted some new contracts for his import business, maybe a good tan, and a lot of kinky sex.

Instead, he gets an uncomfortable reminder of the difference in their ages, a stiff dose of irrational jealousy, and the realization that his feelings for Jazz are much stronger than he thought they were.

He tries to keep it all to himself and let Jazz enjoy the trip, but his withdrawal, founded on old insecurities and the memory of loss, is the real threat to their new relationship.

Singing in the Wilderness
David's taste for rough sex has landed him in trouble before, but never like this. Until recently, capital-R Relationships were things that happened to other people, and he liked it that way. Now he's living with his new boyfriend--or at least he was, until Jazz left to tour with his band. Suddenly, David's finding it hard to sleep alone and wondering what he'll do if Jazz doesn't come back.

Added to that is his slow fall into real submission for the first time in his life. Jazz is more willing to push him over the phone but, despite David's promises, they still haven't had that little chat about limits and safewords. Jazz is afraid of going too far, and David's afraid he won't go far enough.
