Foggy Basin Series – M/M Small Town Romance

Ex-con turned barber Tyler Rockwell works in his mother’s beauty salon in small-town California. Every resident of Foggy Basin will happily remind Tyler they know the one thing he wants to put behind him.

Mosby Leslie left his old life behind after a tragedy, hiding in the mountains near Foggy Basin, where the fog rolled into the valley like clockwork. Committed to living alone in misery, Mosby fills his days with painting landscapes of the sleepy little village he can see from his front porch and having intense discussions with Barbara Bushy, his only friend.

One day while on a supply run, Mosby trips over a crumbling step in front of Shear Bliss Salon, hitting his head. Next thing he knows, a handsome young man is tending to his every need. The shorter, lean man’s smiles light up Mosby’s sullen world.

To stay in the sunshine of Tyler’s attention for just a little longer, Mosby pretends to have forgotten who he is and where he lives. What will the barber do when he finds out that under Mosby’s long hair and beard is a famous painter who people have been trying to find for over a year? When the fog clears, is there any way the two of them can find Shear Bliss together?

Welcome to Foggy Basin. Just passing through? No problem. Here to stay? Well, better find your place. Sit back, relax, and get to know the townsfolk. They love hard and play even harder. Each book is a stand-alone but why not stay and get to know us by reading them all.

Exclusive Excerpt:

Mosby—

“Let me print the recipe so we can get started and don’t have to rely on my phone. Is it too chilly in here? Should I build a fire in the living room?”

Tyler removed his jacket and shoved his sweater sleeves up to his elbows. “Feels good to me. When we turn on the oven, it’ll get warmer.” I stepped closer to him, his body inches from mine. I reached around him and took two aprons from the hook. One had been Nana’s and the other Granddad’s.

“Good point.” I put the navy apron over my shoulder and the loop for the white and green apron over Tyler’s head. It was shorter.

“Spin around.” He did as I instructed, and I quickly tied a bow in the back, taking a moment to look at his sexy bubble butt in a pair of black skinny jeans. It was completely bitable, and the urge was nearly overwhelming.

I stepped back and pulled on my own apron before I took off my loafers and put them on the rug by the back door. Tyler did the same without me saying a word. He followed my lead quite well, sending a flutter through my belly.

“When did you stop wearing makeup?” Tyler definitely didn’t need it, but he’d said he enjoyed wearing makeup and nail polish when he was younger. I’d noticed I hadn’t seen him wearing either the few times we’d been together.

His cheeks flushed, which was erection-inducing. “I stopped when I went to prison. I was trying to make myself as inconspicuous as possible. There were femme guys there, and they were nice, but they, uh, got passed around. I didn’t want that to happen to me.”

I touched his shoulder. “Tell me it didn’t.” I moved my hand to his chin, lifting his face to search his eyes. Please don’t lie to me.

“I wasn’t passed around like the others, but I did have a cell mate who’d offered to look out for me if I took care of him. Do his laundry. Get his food. Carry messages to other inmates when KC was doing a deal. He kept me safe because nobody would cross him.”

I glanced down to see Tyler playing with his fingers as if he was nervous. “What else did you have to do for him?”

Tyler swallowed, his Adam’s apple bobbing. “He was straight, you see, but he would ask me to blow him sometimes. He said he wasn’t gay, so he never wanted to have intercourse with me.”

I nodded. “Did you have a choice whether you wanted to or not?”

He shook his head, his eyes falling to the floor in shame. I leaned forward and kissed his forehead before I pulled him into my arms where he began to sniffle. I held him tight. “Never again. I’m so sorry that happened to you. I won’t let anything like that happen to you again.
