Birkenstock-wearing
glamour girl and mother of two by immaculate conception, Daisy Harris still
isn't sure if she writes erotica. Her romances start out innocently enough.
However, her characters behave like complete sluts. Much to Miss Harris's
dismay the sex tends to get completely out of hand.
She writes
about fantastical creatures and about young men getting their freak on, and
she's never missed an episode of The Walking Dead.

BLURB:
When
an accident burns down Jesse’s apartment, he’s left broke and homeless, with a
giant dog and a college schedule he can’t afford to maintain. And no family
who’s willing to take him in.
Lucky
for him, a sexy fireman offers him a place to stay. The drawback? The fireman’s
big Latino family lives next door, and they don’t know their son is gay.
Tomas’s
parents made their way in America with hard work and by accepting help when it
was offered, so he won’t let Jesse drop out of school just so he can afford a
place to live. Besides, Jesse’s the perfect roommate—funny, sweet and
breathtakingly cute. He climbs into Tomas’s bed and tugs at his heart. Until
Jesse starts pushing for more.
Their
passion enflames their bodies but threatens to crush Tomas’s family. Tomas is
willing to fight for Jesse, but after losing everything, Jesse isn’t sure he
can bear to risk his one remaining possession—his heart.
Warning:
Contains an angry older brother, judgmental best friends, a slobbering bull
mastiff, and enough red-hot gay loving to make a porn star blush.
Excerpt:
“You take the
bed.” Tomas stroked the top of Jesse’s foot. The connection of skin made him
shiver. “I got it last night.” He wanted to kiss Jesse’s cheek. So he did. Then
he got up and did the dishes.
Jesse gave
him a small but cheeky wink. “You’re only giving me the bed because the sheets
are gross.”
Tomas
laughed. He’d forgotten about that. “I’ll put some new ones on for you, fancy
boy.”
“I can do
it.” Jesse went to the closet for fresh sheets, but folded out the loveseat to
make that bed first. The scene felt warm and homey, the way Tomas felt with
Jesse every night.
“Jess—” Tomas
started.
Jesse cut him
off. “Y’know...” He looked up, holding a pillow half-stuffed into a pillowcase.
His hazel eyes were honest and open. “You don’t have to be perfect.”
Tomas’s chest
hurt, as if Jesse had shot him straight through. His heart was bleeding, but
that was okay, because it bled for the skinny, pretty boy standing in the
middle of his living room. “Jess—”
“You don’t
have to be perfect.” Jesse shook his head. He swallowed hard, but then smiled.
“I still like you.”
“Fuck, Jess.”
Tomas blinked back tears. He couldn’t tell if he was happy or sad, only that
Jesse had every part of him. “I like you so much.”
Jesse nodded.
He smiled down at what he was doing and finished stuffing the pillowcase. “I
know.”
Thanks for hosting!

Hey Kristabel, thanks for having me on the blog! And Andra—I use a lot of my wacky dating history in my writing. No really for this book so much, but the next book in the series was taken largely from the playbook of "how I met me husband"
