ARMED AND READY FOR LOVE

Book One: Aphrodite in Disguise Dark Gay Romance Series

Jonathan Wren survives growing up in the South amid extreme homophobia and the ravages of a deadly pandemic.

When Jonathan enters college, a new world opens up. He meets Neil, an out but not-so-proud gay man who has, himself, received quite the education from the oversexed Dr. Driggers. He takes Jon to a bathhouse, where Jon falls head over heels for a bathhouse queen.

Well, he was warned: Bathhouse romances tend to end badly.

Along the way, Jon realizes that full disclosure may be a very bad idea. The first major error that Jon makes is sharing his truth with his best friend, Andre. That goes sideways in a hurry, and Andre becomes an enemy who will haunt Jon for many years.

After college, Jon meets Ryan, the man who may well be Jon’s perfect match. But Ryan lives a state away, and he owns a business there. As circumstances begin to work themselves out, Jon makes a startling discovery about Ryan. Things left unsaid return to haunt Jon as he grapples with the crisis of his discovery.

A final showdown begins.

A showdown that includes Andre, the soul-crushing hater that he is. Ryan, fragile in his compromised condition. Neil, on the cusp of death.

And Jon, whose life remains in the intersection of the people he cares for most.

Can he put his life back together again?
