About J.K. Hogan: 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

Love and the Real Boy

We've
got blurbage: 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.
