London Underground worker Mal Thomas is staying in Porthkennack to recover from a traumatic experience. Riptide | Amazon | Kobo UK | Smashwords One Under With one man determined that they don’t have a future and the other fearing it, life after Porthkennack is starting to look bleak for both of them. When disaster strikes Dev’s adored little sister, Kyle steps up to the plate, and Dev sees a side of his lover he wasn’t prepared for: competent, professional-and way out of Dev’s league.

But Dev’s easygoing acceptance and adaptability, not to mention his good looks, have Kyle breaking all his self-imposed rules. Still raging against his diagnosis of narcolepsy-a condition that’s cost him his job as a barrister, his lover, and all chance of normality-the last thing he wants is another relationship that’s doomed to fail.

Kyle Anthony fled to Porthkennack to escape from the ruins of his life.

But Dev’s distracted from his quest by Kyle, a broodingly handsome local of only a few months, who’s already got a reputation as an alcoholic because of his strange behaviour-including a habit of collapsing in the street. South London mechanic Devan Thompson has gone to Porthkennack to track down someone he’s been waiting all his life to know. My upcoming contemporary novels in the Porthkennack series (titles and dates are provisional and may change): Wake Up Call Follow Porthkennack and its inhabitants through the centuries and through the full rainbow spectrum with historical and contemporary stand-alone titles. This collaborative story world is brought to you by five award-winning, best-selling British LGBTQ romance authors: Alex Beecroft, Joanna Chambers, Charlie Cochrane, Garrett Leigh, and JL Merrow. Nowadays it draws in the tourists with sunshine and surfing, but locals know that the ghosts of its Gothic past are never far below the surface. Legend says King Arthur’s Black Knight built the fort on the headland here, and it’s a certainty that the town was founded on the proceeds of smuggling, piracy on the high seas, and the deliberate wrecking of cargo ships on the rocky shore. Welcome to Porthkennack, a charming Cornish seaside town with a long and sometimes sinister history.
