And to thank you for following the Divas of Desire blog, I have an exclusive excerpt from the book just for you.
Blurb:
During the
day, Roy Girard works with truckers. It's a macho environment where a man is
judged by how tough he is. And everyone knows Roy as one of the toughest.
On his own
time Roy helps mentor young people who are LGBT, and cares about them as if
they were his own. He's in love with Venetia, a trans woman.
He's careful
to keep his nine-to-five completely separate from his private life. He knows
his work buddies wouldn't understand. And he doesn't want Venetia exposed to
their crude, narrow-minded views. It's his job to protect her.
But when his
two worlds collide, he has to make a choice. In trying to protect the woman he
loves, he asks for more than she can give.
In his need to keep her safe, he risks pushing her out of his life
forever.
Excerpt:
“You know, I’ve been thinking…”
“Always a dangerous activity,” Venetia quipped.
“Ha-ha. Come here.” Roy grabbed her and pulled her down onto
his lap. What a relief to have the workday over, to just chill with his lady at
her place. “Seriously. I’ve been thinking about getting back into driving.”
Venetia flicked a strand of hair behind her ear, surprise
washing over her beautiful face. Shit, every time he looked at her, it struck
him how lucky he was. “Really? What brought this about?” she asked.
Discomfort made him squirm, but he covered by settling her
more firmly on his thighs. What brought it about? The article from this morning’s
newspaper, for one. Bill’s stupid comments. And his own worry and fear, growing
stronger each day he remained in that community of macho assholes. The
community he used to be part of, feel at home in. But he’d grown beyond it now,
because of Travis and Venetia and SPECTRUM.
He wouldn’t share his fears with her. It was his job to
protect her. Let him do the worrying. “Well, it’d be more money, for one
thing.”
“Yes, but a lot more travel. I thought you left over the
road driving so you could settle down.”
“Yeah, sure, I’ve given it a try.” He shrugged. “But I’m
getting kind of itchy, a little bored. Maybe it’s time for a change.”
“Itchy?” Her beautiful brown eyes widened and seemed to
darken with concern. “Is your job the only thing you’re bored with?”
He blinked. “What do you mean?”
She loosened his arms from her waist and stood, then sat in
another chair, putting space between them. “I know it’s not easy, Roy. Being
with me.”
“What’re you talking about?” He closed the gap between them,
perching on the arm of her chair. Never mind he was such a lug he’d probably
tip them both onto the floor. “Being with you is the best thing that’s ever
happened to me.”
She lifted her head to gaze at him, her expression only
growing sadder. “Is it the guys at work? Do they give you a hard time because
of me?”
He went still. He kept his work life and his private life
totally separate. Bill and a couple of other coworkers had met Venetia, though
Roy had never meant for their paths to cross. He and Vee had been bowling at
the Lucky Lanes when they ran into the guys. None of them knew she was trans,
and none of them knew about his involvement with SPECTRUM. And that was how he
meant to keep it.
She didn’t need to
hear that, though. “Hell, baby. You think I care what any of those shitheads
think?” He stood and tugged her to her feet, then swung her close to snatch a
kiss. He liked that she was tall and he didn’t have to stoop to kiss her. He
liked how her full breasts felt against his chest and how the curves of her
ass filled his hands. He liked—no, loved—every damn thing about her. “Don’t
ever think I’m tired of you, babe. I’m just scared you’ll get sick of my dumb
ass.”
