Book description
Book six in the Love in Xxchange Series Chase Murphy lost
everything-money, his best friend, and his confidence-but one man wants
to help him regain what was taken from him along with a love that Chase
never expected to have and doesn't believe he deserves. Xavier Talbot
has everything a successful man should, or at least he thought he did.
Suddenly he discovers that his brother is a sick sadistic jerk, the boy
he found on the streets and raised for the past several years is going
to give Xavier a clear understanding of 'empty nest syndrome', and the
club he'd built up from nothing, The Xxchange, now seems like a sleazy
place instead of the GLBT paradise Xavier had imagined. Then a chance
encounter with one man gives Xavier a bit of hope in his rapidly
depressing world. Chase Murphy only wanted one thing-to find his best
friend, James Stratton, who'd been kidnapped by a vengeful sociopath.
Hurt and stranded in a town he has no intentions of staying in, Chase
meets a man he wants to hate, but he can't stop thinking about Xavier
Talbot no matter what he does. Slowly, seductively, the town and its
inhabitants draw Chase in and make him rethink his opinion on forming
friendships and the possibility of a long term relationship. He isn't
sure he wants to hang around to see if things would work out, but it
isn't until James is found that Chase discovers the truth about what it
means to love people, as friends and, for Xavier, as a lover. Reader
Advisory: This book is best read in sequence as part of a series _x000D_
A native Texan, Bailey spends her days spinning stories around in her
head, which has contributed to more than one incident of tripping over
her own feet. Evenings are reserved for pounding away at the keyboard,
as are early morning hours. Sleep? Doesn't happen much. Writing is too
much fun, and there are too many characters bouncing about, tapping on
Bailey's brain demanding to be let out. Caffeine and chocolate are
permanent fixtures in Bailey's office and are never far from hand at any
given time. Removing either of those necessities from Bailey's presence
can result in what is know as A Very, Very Scary Bailey and is not
advised under any circumstances.
