take on what to do with your competitor in Book 2 –
Andre, a customer, comes in and pays Christopher a visit.
The two lock eyes and immediately connect on a personal level. The intensity of
this deep, instant connection convinces Christopher to pursue a potential
interest – to find out just what might happen between them – when Andre passes
him his card and phone numbers. He wonders what the young man does for a living
however, he’s so smitten by him, Chris doesn’t give it much further thought.
Little does the shop owner know, Andre actually
works for his biggest competitor as a secret shopper and has been told to use
any method necessary to find out the secrets of the shop. Andre is ordered to
convince Christopher to sell his shop and become part of the national chain.
When Christopher finds out, he has a surprise for Andre and
deals with him in a rather humorous way. Will he trust Andre once he finds out
this fact? Will he give up his shop under the pressure the well-known
franchise? Will this newly found romance beat the odds and move past this bump
in the road to happiness for both Andre and Christopher?

SMOOTH LIKE LATTE
by Rawiya.
Naughty Nights Press is proud to
announce that
Smooth Like
Latte,
an
interracial gay male romance,
SMOOTH LIKE LATTE by Rawiya.
Synopsis:
Brendan Walsh is an uptight business executive of works sun
up to sun down in the heart of the Loop in downtown Chicago. Due to his
relentless drive to succeed, he doesn’t really allow himself time for fun. His
idea of this is sitting at home alone, watching the company profits. Since he
stays busy, he doesn’t allow any time to get to know anyone. To make matters
worse, Brendan’s homophobic, overbearing father has threatened to write him out
the will if he doesn’t do everything he’s asked.
In the building, he meets a man by the name of Davori
Jenkins, a happy go lucky guy who serves him a cup of latte just the way he
likes it. The attraction between them is real from the start. In a surprise
move, Brendan leaves his number along with the tip to spark conversation. From
there, they build a friendship over drinks and lunch thus drawing them closer.
However, Brendan still hasn’t come out to his father and
fears if he does he’ll lose his financial security under the Walsh umbrella.
Will he take the risk so he can have a future with the hunky barista?
Warning: This is an m/m interracial romance. Real romance.
Some sappiness is ahead with two very good looking men who are searching for
that happy ever after ending.
Excerpt:
“Brendan, you must uphold the family name.
Nothing is more important than the Walsh name! Nothing!”
The words of
Brendan Walsh’s father, Alexander, rang true, like a menacing alarm in his head
every single day. Why did he have to
be the son Alexander depended upon most? Could it be because the other Walsh
brother was completely useless?
In his father’s
eyes, Brendan’s older sibling Brian was a disappointment, all because he didn’t
want any part of the Walsh family business. Instead of living off his trust
fund and becoming the successive CEO to the Walsh Financial Corporation, he’d
opted to follow his dream and become a rock musician. That made Alexander
extremely unhappy and because of this, the elder Walsh made changes to his will
which took away his portion of the family fortune. Brian didn’t care, though;
he said no amount of money could bring him true happiness.
Brendan, on the
other hand, did like money and security, but the constant meetings, the
traveling, and all the responsibilities of being the boss had started to wear
thin. He attended college and went straight to graduate school afterward. Then
he became top partner at Walsh. It was a lot of responsibility, but Brendan had
been well groomed by his dad, who was adamant about not wanting his younger son
to become a “useless fuckup.”
“Ugh…” Brendan
restlessly turned over. Opening one eye, he glanced at the clock. Six a.m. Time
to get up and head in to the office to make more money for the Walsh Empire.
Not wanting to move, he groaned, running his fingers through his short, wavy,
brown locks. He’d just gotten his hair cut, and it still felt funny. He’d
allowed it to grow past his shoulders, but that had only prompted Alexander’s
comment that he should “stop looking like a fag.”
“Damn.” If
Alexander only knew. Maybe that was just what the old man needed. To see his
son for exactly what he was – a man in the closet who desperately wanted to
come out.
Yeah, that’ll be the day.
Pulling up the
shades, he squinted his eyes into the daylight; the few stragglers out on the
street were probably either coming home from or on their way to work. Or were
they returning from Valentine’s Day parties in the city? A part of Brendan
wished he were doing just that, especially since he’d spent this particular V
Day in his Lake Shore Drive condo, reading and comparing sales figures from the
year before. That wasn’t his job: it was someone else’s, but he’d opted to do
it himself because that employee had someone to go home to and he didn’t. Truthfully,
numbers remained his first love, and he’d never known any other.
While he tried
to read over the latest figures the night prior, his father called to get him
out of his high-rise condo. “Brendan, I’m at the country club with a bunch of
friends. You should come by.”
The last thing
Brendan wanted was to be around his father on the most romantic day of the
year. “No thanks Dad, I’m real busy.”
“Oh c’mon, son,”
Alex slurred his words and cut him off. “There’s some pretty ladies here and
lots of Scotch. You could walk outta here with the next Misses Walsh. Besides,
you need to give me a grandchild.”
Completely
annoyed, Brendan rolled his eyes and sighed. “No thanks, Dad.” He promptly hung
up the phone.
Oh, he’ll get me for that later.
Too bad I can’t be that bold all the time.
“Pfft.”
Dejected, he shook his head and stretched his arms while he strolled slowly to
the bathroom. Flicking on the lights, he winced. The coffee-colored marble
floor was cold on his bare feet. He rubbed his eyes, thinking how nice it would
be to crawl back under the covers and blow off work, but he knew Alexander
would bitch if he didn’t show up.
A hot shower was
what he needed to warm him up and get him into his daily routine. Turning the
small silver knobs, he took off his boxers and stepped in, allowing the hot
water to cascade down his body. He ducked his head under the hot spray and
exhaled, feeling the warm drops hit his scalp. Several ran down his face, both
soothing him and waking him up, as he wanted. In minutes, the sound of whiny
saxophones and soft piano melodies filled the bathroom. Like an alarm, he’d set
smooth jazz music to play while he showered because he loved hearing it when he
woke up.
Brendan wished
there was someone to share these morning moments with him. “Maybe someday, I’ll
get up the nerve.” He rubbed his newly cut hair and leaned against the marble
wall. “When Brendan, fucking when?”
