Bio: J.K. Hogan has
been telling stories for as long as she can remember, beginning with writing
cast lists and storylines for her toys growing up. When she finally decided to
put pen to paper, magic happened. She is greatly inspired by all kinds of music
and often creates a “soundtrack” for her stories as she writes them. J.K. is
hoping to one day have a little something for everyone, so she’s branched out
from m/f paranormal romance and added m/m contemporary romance. Who knows
what’s next?
J.K. resides
in North Carolina, where she was born and raised. A true southern girl at
heart, she lives in the country with her husband and young son, a cat, and two
champion agility dogs. If she isn’t on the agility field, J.K. can often be
found chasing waterfalls in the mountains with her husband, or down in front at
a blues concert. In addition to writing, she enjoys training and competing in
dog sports, spending time with her large southern family, camping, boating and,
of course, reading! For more information, please visit www.jkhogan.com.

Blurb(s):
How much
heartache can one man take before he breaks? Rich Langston asks himself that
question every day.
A Seattle
advertising exec who uses his designer suit and showy car like a suit of armor,
Rich refuses to let the world get to him. His traumatic childhood has ruined
any faith he had in people, friendship, and love. After a meltdown that led to
him alienating everyone in his life, Rich agrees to help with the restoration
of an antique sailboat as a form of penance.
Roped into
heading up with the boat repair by his mother, marine restorer Patrick O’Dowd
finds himself having to babysit a moody, spoiled rich boy with absolutely no
carpentry experience. His easy-going nature is sorely tested, but he quickly
realizes that things are not always what they seem; sometimes a fancy suit is
nothing but an elaborate deflection from what’s real.
Through
unavoidable personality clashes and fierce attraction, both Rich and Patrick
explore their hidden pain and inner demons, and they end up finding with what
really matters—love.
Excerpt: Rich
forced himself to relax. Why shouldn’t he give his brain a little mini-vacay?
He was of a stressful nature—he had to constantly stress over work, over making
enough money to keep himself in suits and expensive toys to remind himself he
wasn’t homeless anymore, that he wasn’t going to end up like his mother. He
stressed over the wrong people finding out he was gay, while stressing that he
might just go mad from lack of companionship—and that was just the tip of the
crazy-berg.
Underneath
it all sat his pent-up grief, anger, and guilt from his stolen childhood,
cowering like a beast in the dark, a sleeping monster. That was Rich’s biggest,
most constant fear—that one day he would no longer be able to contain it. What
would happen then? Would he lose his mind?
So
all things considered, why shouldn’t he just let it go for one night? What was
wrong with letting a big, burly Irishman take him in hand—heh—and drive the boat for a while.
