Read a hot #teaser from #newrelease #MMromance #gay #fantasy Dragon Bridge @evernightpub @parr_books E. D. Parr It took me a year to write Dragon Bridge, weaving my legend through the love story to provide the background for characters.



Tired from his high stress work fighting cyber-crime, handsome, Key Alder takes a vacation on a beautiful Italian coast. He travels from one gorgeous town to another and after a perilous journey lost in the mountains, he settles into his hotel and relaxes.

In a beachside café, next to a warm pale-blue ocean, a performer hands out fliers for an arts festival in a mountain village. Lured by adventure, Key attends an evening performance of fire juggling acrobats in the legendary village piazza.

Beautiful, enigmatic Claudio Di Fiore, the star of the show, sees Key in the audience and is captured by a wonderful feeling he’s unaccustomed to.

Claudio wants Key.

Key is enchanted by Claudio.

A passionate love grows between the two men.

When Claudio’s mysterious ancient family threaten to tear them apart, will Key risk everything to stay with his loved one?







From E. D. Parr

I first started thinking about this story around two years ago when I saw a shadow across the full moon that looked like a dragon. It was a dark gray cloud, but it captured my imagination and for a year, I considered a plot that might work that sight into a story and so the legend of Ponte Drago, (Dragon Bridge) was born.

It still took me a year to write Dragon Bridge, weaving my legend through the story to provide the background for characters.

I researched Italy, where the bulk of the story takes place, a little, just enough to imagine places that might exist, but not enough to describe existing towns as I wrote that might take away from the mysterious element I wanted in the story. I’d love to visit Italy for the art that exists there … maybe one day.

My lovely hero Key Alder is an ordinary guy, worn down by life as many people are. Naturally, I’m in love with him, as I am with all my characters. His journey in this love story restores his confidence and displays his courage.

Claudio Di Fiore, my other hero is, as Key Alder puts it, gorgeous and enigmatic. I think, right now, he is one of my favorite characters from any of my MM romance stories. His love for Key is steadfast and fierce. He's fearless until he falls in love with Key when he only fears losing him.

The story is contemporary gay MM romance, fantasy, adventure, and paranormal romance.

I hope readers enjoy the legend and the love story as much as I loved writing it.

E. D. Parr

Key’s thighs weakened. He swept his hands down to Claudio’s ass and thrust against him. His lower body contacted Claudio’s and he moaned low into Claudio’s kiss. “I feel the same.”

The beautiful man in his arms sighed as he kissed him. “I want you so much. I have to tell you. This, the way I feel about you, it’s new to me. Feel my heart.” He grabbed one of Key’s hands and pressed the palm to his chest.

Key gasped at the touch of Claudio’s fingers and the muscles beneath his hand. Claudio’s heart thumped. Key whispered between kisses. “My heart is racing, too. Claudio, the moment I saw you something happened to me…”

Claudio kissed him—surged against him.

A groan escaped Key at the feel of Claudio’s rock hard cock through his pants. He shifted his hips a little so that his own aching dick pressed on the hard column. He held Claudio’s face and kissed him, pouring tenderness into the embrace as seeds of love mingled with lust.

“Key, we need to talk. You know, to find out things about each other. Have dinner with me tomorrow. Meet me. There’s a restaurant hotel in the valley. I don’t perform tomorrow night. It’s the fire eater’s spotlight.” He stopped whispering and kissed Key.

“I’d love to have dinner with you.” Key answered a breath away from Claudio’s lips.

Claudio moved half a step away. He shook his head slowly. “I have to go. The troupe will wonder where I am. I don’t want to. I want to be here in your arms. The restaurant tomorrow night in the valley, 8:00, okay, it’s called Luna Blu.” He smiled.

Key nodded. “I’ll find it.” He grabbed Claudio close and hugged him tight. Then he let him go.

Claudio slipped his hand around Key’s jaw and placed a gentle kiss on his lips. “I just had to have one more kiss.” He turned to leave.

Key grasped his wrist.

Claudio looked back, his eyes dark and full of tenderness.

Key kissed him. “So did I. I’ll see you tomorrow night.” Claudio’s wrist slipped from his loosened grasp. He watched the beautiful man stride away.

Excerpt:

Daniel Blake, sitting on a shaded terrace in a pair of sun-bleached shorts, strummed a melody on his guitar. The afternoon sun blazed in a cloudless sky and, despite the protective canopy above him, the heat was intense. Beads of sweat ran down his neck, tracking over bronzed skin to the dark mass of chest hair. It glistened on his top lip as he gently chewed the bottom. With his eyes closed, he progressed through the strings. A moment later, he smiled, finally satisfied, and put down the guitar. He reached for the weathered notebook that had been his constant companion all summer and wrote in an eager, untidy hand.
Daniel had been working on the song for two days, both music and lyrics, and, at last, it was done. He had nothing left to add.
He lifted his gaze to the sky and inhaled full into his lungs. Across the terrace, the blue water of the Ionian Sea reflected the white light of the sun, its expanse an ever-changing collage of sapphire and diamond colors. Down the coast, the outline of Corfu Island was a hazy mirage in the heat. This perfect view had been his for six amazing weeks. The idyll would soon be over, but not yet.
Daniel lay back on the lounger and lengthened his arms above his head, stretching the stiffness in his neck. He’d been so absorbed in the song, ensuring every chord and every word were right, he’d ignored his own comfort and now his body ached. A few weeks earlier, he’d made the mistake of writing beside the pool, in the direct glare of the sun, and paid the price. Two painful days in bed with sunburn. Since then, he’d stuck to the shade while working on his music. He lost himself so much in the process it was easy to burn.
Daniel studied his body as he lay there. He’d never looked so good or been this tan before. There’d been no time to sunbathe in the past, he’d always thought it a waste of time. He had had too much to do, too much to achieve, to spend his days lying around a pool. But he’d realized this summer that a tan didn’t just suit him, it helped him feel better.
It wasn’t just the sun. Daily sessions in the pool and long walks on the beach kept him in shape. Coming off Lady Lynda, he’d had every intention of letting his fitness routine go a little, if only for the summer, but it hadn’t worked out that way. He was in better condition now than when he arrived, in mind as well as body.
His legs were strong, muscular and tan. He hardly recognized his own body. He inched down the top of his shorts to admire the contrast in color between the creamy skin below his waist and the coppery tones above. The villa was private and he could have bathed naked if he’d wanted to, except he wasn’t that kind of guy. Besides, tan lines were sexy. He’d always thought so. Who needed to risk a burnt butt and balls?
The one thing that marred the bronze color of his torso was the scars between his hip bones and rib cage, sustained the night Oliver Gill had stabbed him, and from the lifesaving surgery he’d gone through afterward. Before coming to Corfu, the pale scars had been almost unnoticeable on his white skin. His dark body hair just about concealed them. But as his tan deepened, the scars stayed white, becoming more pronounced, forcing him to look at them, to acknowledge them.
Daniel traced his fingers along the lines and indentations. Had he made peace with the disfigurement? No. But as the summer came to an end, he’d learned to accept them.
Daniel sighed and basked in the heat. Life was not so bad, considering what the last two years had thrown at him. Better than that, things were good. Not perfect, too many questions remained unanswered for that, but his optimism grew every day.
The glass doors of the terrace opened behind him and Elijah Mann stepped out, offering him a cold bottle of water.
“It’s hotter than hell out here,” Elijah remarked, shielding his eyes against the sun to gaze across the sea.
Daniel swung his legs over the side of the sunbed and sat up. He drank the chilled, sparkling water and looked with admiration at Elijah’s chunky thighs. While the sun had turned Daniel’s white-boy skin an appealing shade of bronze, Elijah, with his Greek heritage, had gone nut-brown. The beige shorts and blue open-neck shirt he wore today complemented his tan. God, he’s gorgeous. Daniel never had to remind himself what a lucky guy he was.
Elijah dropped onto the other sunbed, knees spread wide, and looked straight at him with soulful brown eyes. His thick blue-black hair fell in an untidy wave across his brow and a three-day beard darkened his jaw. With his natural Greek coloring, Daniel wondered if Elijah had ever looked more handsome. Even more important, he looked happier and healthier than he had in a long time. Less than a year ago he’d been in hospital, fighting for his life. Daniel wouldn’t ever forget how close he’d come to losing him. Those long, terrible hours beside his bed, praying he would recover. Hoping for the best, afraid of the worst.
“How’s it going?” Elijah asked, nodding at his guitar.
“I’m finished,” he answered, smiling.
Elijah’s eyebrows raised. “Really?”
“Absolutely.”
“Don’t keep me in suspense. Let me hear it.”
“What’s for lunch?” Daniel asked, feigning indifference.
Elijah leapt forward, grabbing Daniel’s bare waist, tickling the sensitive flesh around his middle. Daniel yelped and fell backward, giggling. Elijah followed through, lying on top of him, fingers still working his waist. Daniel laughed, squirming against his hard body.
“No lunch today,” Elijah said, his face on top of Daniel’s. “Not until you play me your song.”

Hell, Chris, I’ve thought about being with you like this so many times, wished for it, and now I have my wish, I’m desperate. #midweektease #MMromance

For #MWTease #midweekteaser a sexy shower scene from MM romance 
Hawk v Falcon

Chris Falconer receives an email from his lost high school friend, Justin, ten years after he last saw him, Chris is overjoyed. The two boys had shared kisses and sworn love for each other, but before their love could be tested, Justin’s mother abruptly took Justin out of school, and they disappeared.
Multi-talented and handsome Chris has never forgotten Justin—turns out Justin has never forgotten Chris either.
On a modeling assignment in New York, Justin sees Chris in a cafĂ© and can’t help contacting him, but his ex, Todd, who doesn’t want Justin but doesn’t want Chris to have him either, has plans to throw their reunion into disarray.

So begins a love story full of emotion. Will Todd succeed? Or this time, will Justin and Chris have the happy ending and delicious love they deserve?

Read the teaser 18+

Justin gazed after Chris as the bathroom door closed. He sat on the end of the bed and stared at the ensuite entrance. Knowing Chris was in there naked did something to Justin’s insides. He pressed a finger to his lips, the memory of their kiss teasing him as desire to hold Chris close raced through him. He stood and paced to the window. Pale streaks of dawn filtered through the leaves of a huge tree. Will he think it’s too soon if I go in there? I need him. I’m going in there.
Justin dragged off his clothes and turned the ensuite door handle slowly. Steam obscured his vision of Chris except for a tantalizing view of his muscular ass as Chris turned in the shower sprinkles. Justin opened the shower stall door. The thought of being naked with Chris had thickened his cock. His stomach clenched as Chris saw him and opened his arms.
Justin stepped close. There were no words. He rammed his body on Chris’s as water streamed over his head and back. He swept his hands along Chris’s back and up to grab his shoulders as he kissed Chris.
Water ran in soft rivers over their noses and by the sides of their mouths.
Justin shifted and pushed a hand between their bodies to touch Chris. The half-erection that met his fingertips, jerked into a huge, hard column. Justin gripped the delicious cock and a soft moan escaped him as he broke contact with Chris’s lips to whisper.
“I want you bad. I need you. I want to taste your cum. Hell, Chris, I’ve thought about being like this with you so many times, wished for it, and now I have my wish, I’m desperate.”
Chris grabbed his head and kissed him hard.
Justin opened his mouth and slid his tongue into Chris’s mouth. His cock ached and throbbed. The underside of his balls felt melted, and then as Chris grabbed his dick and pumped slowly, his balls tightened and he sighed against Chris’s lips.
Chris let him go and a frown of loss leapt between his eyes, but Chris’s hands were only gone for moments, and then were all over him slipping and sliding with soap.
The sensation made him groan.
Chris took his cock in one strong hand.
Justin leaned into Chris, his head on Chris’s shoulder as the pumping, and sliding took him into a spiral of desire. Justin’s cock pulsed and his balls hardened. Chris slid an arm around Justin holding him in an iron embrace as he worked Justin’s cock, his own rock hard column pressed against Justin’s hip adding to the deep pleasure that burned over Justin. He gasped and thrust his hips with every pull from Chris’s lathered fingers.
Justin groaned and pressed his mouth against Chris’s neck. In a huge wave of completely delicious sensation, Justin’s cum spurted high. His body rocked. His stomach clenched and he moaned onto Chris’s skin. The throbs of orgasm went on for a long time. His thighs weakened and he nuzzled Chris on the jaw, water filling his mouth and leaking down his chest. “Chris, let me make you come, too. I want that so much.”
Chris rammed his erection against the side of Justin’s body. He still held Justin’s cock and slowly let go to stroke Justin’s balls and stomach.
A huge pulse went through Justin’s shrinking erection. The pleasure made him gasp.
He pulled the soap from the dish inserted in the shower stall wall and lathered his hands. He grabbed Chris’s muscled thighs and slid his fingertips around to tease at the crack of Chris’s ass. He whispered against Chris’s lips. “Later when you don’t taste of soap I’m going to suck the cum out of you, but right now I want your cock in my hands.” He felt Chris’s intake of breath at his words and pressed his mouth to Chris’s wet lips in a kiss, and then he jerked Chris off.
He gripped and pumped, the lather from the soap making his hand slide to the end and then to the hilt of Chris’s huge cock. He pressed his forehead to Chris’s muscled chest. He bent to watch as he pumped, until Chris moaned and gripped Justin’s back, his hips jerking to the pull and slide of Justin’s hand.
Justin smiled as Chris orgasmed with such force, he slammed his cock up, making Justin lose his grip. Chris’s pulsing cock rammed on Justin’s stomach and slipped along, trailing cum and soft soap lather. Justin lifted his head and kissed along Chris’s neck, waiting for Chris to catch his breath.
“Fucking hell. That felt ... so good. I’m shaking. Come here.” Chris grabbed Justin’s head and kissed him, his lips in a hungry onslaught on Justin’s. His fingers tunneling in Justin’s wet hair, he thrust his body slowly on Justin’s.
Justin’s eyes closed with pure lust. He grasped Chris’s ass and dragged him further against his own body until they crushed together, kissing and thrusting their tongues on each other’s with low murmurs.
