I’ve been coyly hinting at an upcoming release, and frankly been neck deep the past few weeks working with the production team on copyediting, proofing and conceptualizing the cover design.
The ARCs are out, and the title is up at the publisher’s website, so at long last, all can be revealed!
Ka-bam!
The book releases everywhere on August 14th, and I’m designating August as “Irresistible Month,” with a bunch of posts about the story-behind-the-story, book extras, and fun stuff like that. Here’s the back cover blurb:
Brendan Thackeray-Prentiss is an Ivy League-educated trust-funder who Gotham Magazine named the most eligible gay bachelor in New York City. He lives for finding his soulmate, but after walking in on his boyfriend of three transcendent months soaping up in the shower with an older female publicist, he’s on a steady diet of scotch, benzodiazepines, and compulsive yoga. Men are completely off the menu.
Callisthenes Panagopoulos has a problem most guys dream of. With the body and face of a European soccer heartthrob, the vigorous blond hair of a Mormon missionary, and a smile that makes traffic cops stuff their ticket books back in their utility belts, he’s irresistible to everyone. But being a constant guy-magnet comes with its discontents, like an ex-boyfriend who tried to drive his Smart car through Cal’s front door. It makes him wonder if he’s been cursed when it comes to love.
When Brendan and Cal meet, the attraction is meteoric, and they go from date to mates at the speed of time-lapse photography. But to stay together, they’ll have to overcome Cal’s jealous BFF, Romanian mobsters, hermit widowers, and a dictatorship on the brink of revolution during a dream wedding in the Greek isles that becomes a madcap odyssey.
A gay romantic comedy of errors based on Chariton’s Callirhoe, the world’s oldest extant romance novel.
You can get in on pre-ordering the e-book at NineStar Press.
Here’s the link at Goodreads to add it to your shelf.
Last but not least, I’m hustling to get reviews, so if you do that kind of thing, the title is available at NetGalley, and I’m also happy to share the e-ARC with folks who are interested in writing early reviews. Just hit me up!
