Synopsis
Disowned by his family for being transgender, Kale
drained his bank account and set out to go as far as the money would take him.
He planned to make a new life for himself. But when the money stopped, he found
himself homeless, his plans pretty much screwed.
Perry set out to pay a male hooker to slake his
lust. Instead he found a handsome young man who insisted he wasn't a
prostitute. A little bit of convincing, a flash of money, and one random
Tuesday turned into once a week, and Perry found himself in dangerous
territory. After all, the plan wasn't to fall in love. Previously published by Breathless Press.
Excerpt
Kale
peered into the car without getting any closer. He didn't recognize the older
man behind the steering wheel, didn't really know anyone in this town yet.
"Can I help you with something?"
"Probably."
The guy grinned. "How much for a blowjob?"
A
fiery blush steamed up Kale's neck. "Oh. I'm not um..." He glanced
down at his clothing—red button-up shirt, jeans, boots. He wasn't dressed like
a hooker, was he? Then again, what did male hookers dress like?
"Fifty
bucks?" the guy asked.
"No,
you don't understand." Kale shook his head. "I'm not um...working.
I'm just..." Just what? Just a runaway disappointment.
"Fine.
Make it a hundred. C'mon. Get in."
His
eyes went wide. A hundred dollars? For a blowjob? A hundred dollars would get
him a room at a motel and a meal for the night. And a blowjob wouldn't take all
that long. But he'd never done anything like that before with a stranger. The
guy looked pretty clean. How bad could it be? Just a few minutes' work, turn
his head, spit, and take the money. "I don't swallow," he blurted.
The
guy shrugged. "I don't care."
The
words hit Kale with full force. The guy didn't care. Not about him, his story,
why he was out here on the streets in the first place. Not about his past,
present, or future. Not about anything beyond his mouth. Kale frowned.
"You
coming or not?" the guy prompted.
"Show
me the money."
He
held up a hundred dollar bill.
If the
guy would pay a hundred dollars for a blowjob, how much would he pay for
something else? But Kale had seen way too many Lifetime movies about
runaways-turned-prostitutes who got into cars and were never seen again. He
puffed out his chest and straightened his shoulders, tried to look like he had
some kind of guts. "Okay, but we're not going to a skeevy hotel or your
house or anything. Got it?"
The
guy shrugged. "Whatever."
Kale
looked up and down the street and reached for the door handle. The car, like
the guy, looked clean and tidy, smelled nice. He smiled at the green,
tree-shaped air freshener hanging from the rearview mirror, and tried not to
think of that scene in the movie Seven where the cops found hundreds of the
things hanging in the sloth victim's apartment.

Congrats on the latest release. It will be interesting to see if "Caitlyn" and the interest in her reflects a rise in transgender fiction books.
