King of Rain

By Michele Fogal

Being uber-tall and broad made it easy for Logan to hide his sexuality and vulnerability behind armor made of strength, ambition, and emotional detachment. His mask of macho success was shattered when he discovered the friend he's carried a secret torch for has a boyfriend, and everything he's always wanted now belongs to someone else. Logan can't pretend not to care anymore, as his rage erupts in a horrible act of revenge. It's impossible to hide his demons, now that they've broken loose.

Since losing his sweet boyfriend, Jeremy's loud and proud life of sex parties and clubbing feels empty. When he meets the dark and self-destructive Logan, Jeremy recognizes the demons he sees in Logan's eyes. After all, he has plenty of his own.

Logan isn't looking for love, he's looking for punishment and release, but with Jeremy all three seem momentarily possible until he learns his victim was Jeremy's lost love. Logan doesn't expect forgiveness and knows he doesn't deserve a real life, but after a taste of intimate closeness, finding salvation alone will mean he has to change, or die trying.
