Atonement
(#Dos Part Three)
Release Date: April 4, 2017
Through passion and betrayal, forfeit and loss, Austin, Ember and
Cord are finally ready to face reality and atone for their sins in the
conclusion of this emotionally charged, erotic trilogy, Degrees of Separation…
Beaten but not defeated, Austin faces his demons, encouraged by
the return of his wife, December, and his best friend Cord’s constant presence.
While accepting December’s feelings for Cord, Austin discovers some
unprecedented emotions of his own… Pandora’s Box doesn’t close as easily as it
opens.
Cord has kept a lifelong secret. But as his non-traditional love
for Austin is exposed, he’s unprepared to trust his friends’ affection.
Released from a self-imposed, emotional prison, he’s rewarded with both the man
and woman of his dreams—yet he still harbors reservations.
December attempts to find a balance in her departure from
conventional life and discovers new degrees of happiness intimacy in the
non-traditional. With two men to love, her every need is met. But is she woman
enough to satisfy their demanding hearts?
WARNING: This book contains
subject matter suitable for mature reading audiences. Some content may be
offensive to sensitive readers. Degrees of Separation is a MMF ménage trilogy
with many emotionally graphic encounters and challenging situations that break
the rules of traditional romance.
Excerpt:
Cord shoved up from the bed and faced him.
“Is it out of your system?”
“Is what out of my system?”
“Whatever you felt last night—and this
morning.”
His mind halted at the fork in the road.
Go right and everything went away, no therapy needed, no repeat performance.
Turn left and… This time his mouth cooperated and the truth emerged. “No, it’s
not out of my system.”
Cord drew back, surprise and something
else written on his face. “Really?”
He dropped his gaze, unable to match
Cord’s steady stare.
Although he commanded his household and
ran several crews on the job, he couldn’t seem to out-master Cord when it came
to this. This new
dynamic between them he’d yet to name.
It wasn’t a simple step down from the top
either. Every time he deferred to Cord it scraped and bruised, though maybe not
as much as he might have thought. Sort of like a new pair of boots,
uncomfortable at first, but with the promise of more support later.
Though he was still processing, he could
at least confess he wasn’t giving up. “Really.”
His heart jogged into a gallop as Cord
stepped closer, the soft press of his rough fingers on Austin’s chin made him
flinch.
“Easy…”
Austin breathed through his nose as Cord
leaned closer. How was he so natural about this? He held his breath as warm
lips traced the stubble of his jaw. And damn his dick for firming up the second
he breathed Cord in.
The heat of his friend’s body warmed him,
his mind cataloguing every nuance. The wiry feel of another man’s chest hair.
The sheer breadth and height of him. His earthy scent, so unlike Ember’s. His
pure masculinity was suddenly alluring, when a day ago it was merely admirable.
Fuck.
His neck stiffened as Cord’s hand fit
around his nape.
“It’s okay,” Cord whispered, leaning
closer.
At the first brush of his lips, Austin
panicked and made to jerk away but Cord’s steady gaze and strong grip calmed
his instinct to flee. The heated press of his firm kiss slipped past his guard
and Austin’s eyes drifted shut.
A dark, throbbing need took hold as he
wrestled to deny how right it felt to taste another man. Not just any man.
Cord.
