Five things I'd want on a desert island...

So I'm stranded on a desert island. Let's say the island is large enough to provide a little shelter under the trees and enough food that's not poisonous (and I know the difference) to at least sustain me. Hey, this is my blog and I'm making up the rules around here...

With the essentials taken care of, I can concentrate on things that will make my life easier until I'm rescued.

1. Hot man who also happens to be strong and agile - he can be a huge help for finding food and fighting off beastly creatures. When he's done with that he can provide...other services.
2. Generator and a source of gas on the island- I've got to have somewhere to recharge my Kindle, right?
3. Kindle loaded with five thousand books- I figure those will take me a while to get through.
4. Unlimited supply of sunscreen- I am a pale little thing, unfortunately, and burn within about ten minutes of being out in the sun.
5. Spring/lake with fresh water- it can serve so many purposes...bathing, cooking, drinking, frolicking...

Yep, those are my five. What do you think?

My first male/male romance just released from Loose Id last week. It's called See the Light. Here's the blurb and an excerpt:


Hockey player Jason Monroe lives a double life—star defenseman and soon-to-be Olympian on the ice and closeted gay man outside the rink. A serious relationship is out of the question, and Jason makes do with anonymous sex in barroom bathrooms, not willing to take the chance on coming out as gay in a decidedly macho sport.

Advisor to the US Olympic hockey team Patrick Parker knows a thing or two about being a professional hockey player who’s not out.  He’s fifteen years older than Jason, and when he senses the sexy younger man is interested, he knows he shouldn’t give in to the attraction. The two men can’t keep their hands off each other, though, and with each heated encounter it gets harder to hide their relationship. Then their world blows up around them, forcing them into the limelight. Will their love survive or be put on ice?


EXCERPT


Jason stared at the other man, the lust burning him where he stood. He moved even closer, like a moth to a flame.
What the fuck am I doing?
Apparently Patrick didn’t know either, because his expression became alarmed. “What?”
I can’t stop.
“I need to do this.”
Not giving Patrick a chance to react to his words, Jason grabbed him, one hand palming the back of Patrick’s head as Jason’s other arm snaked around the man’s waist, pulling him into Patrick’s rock-hard body. It was obvious the man kept in shape, despite his playing days being over, and a tortured moan escaped before he could stop it. Jason dived into Patrick’s mouth as the passion flared, melting him from the inside out. He hadn’t kissed a man in years, and he realized how much he’d missed it as the kiss went on and on, neither man willing to let the other go.
He could feel Patrick’s cock as it lined up with his, and even through layers of clothing Jason felt the heat pouring off the other man. It made him want to submit to anything Patrick desired, which confused him. Honestly Jason couldn’t remember the last time he’d had a man’s dick in his mouth, but right now he’d give just about anything to suck Patrick off.
Patrick pushed them backward until they crashed into the wall, never letting their lips separate as he took control of the kiss. With a growl,  the older man reached down and cupped Jason’s ass, pulling their cocks even closer and rubbing them together. Jason turned his head to the side with a gasp to break the kiss before he passed out, but Patrick kept at him, scoring his teeth down Jason’s neck to his pulse point.
“So fucking hot.”
