Hi Tamsin! Thank you so much for visiting Written Butterfly with me
today! I must admit, I have stared at your cover for a long time! LOL!
Thanks so much
for hosting me on your blog today!
I’m super
excited about my first real Evernight release of the year.
Q) How did you dream up the dynamics of your characters?
Well, this story was originally written for an anthology, so
the dynamic was already written in a sense. The executive assistant being in
love with their boss. Nick and Tayte were born out of what I considered good
fits for that. The gorgeous, hard working, dominant boss and the adoring,
smart and utterly lovely assistant. The fact that they are two hot men just make it so much
better.
Q) Do you have any habits that get you in the writing frame
of mind?
Hmmm, probably just the habit of writing when I want to, not
because I have to. I get a scene in mind and go nuts, or I don’t. I love the
passion that comes out of that.
Q) What are your upcoming projects?
I’m currently working on two ménages. An MMF Planet Alpha
book for Evernight and the sequel to Prowling the Vet, called Stalking Their Mate, which is a MFM shifter erotic romance. I’ve never written MFM before, and
I’m finding the challenge super fun!

Blurb:
Nick is the most beautiful,
successful, amazing man—just ask his executive assistant Tayte.
Tayte’s been in love with his boss
from the moment he set eyes on him. But two years working with him and Tayte
isn’t even sure Nick is gay.
But it’s time for his contract evaluation and Nick
wants to give Tayte more than just a raise.
Excerpt:
“Hey, Tayte.”
The insipid voice of Connor Turner
bounced into Tayte’s brain and he suppressed the shudder that rose. He lifted
his gaze and took in the spectrum of color before him.
“Hey, Connor.”
Connor, who was the assistant of Greg
Scholl, the man just beneath Nick on the totem pole, flounced up and rested his
hip on Tayte’s desk.
“So… found out if Nick is gay yet?”
Tayte forced a smile to his lips and sat
up straighter in his chair. He didn’t know, much to his chagrin. Even if he
did, he certainly wouldn’t be announcing it to the biggest gossip in the
building.
“Not my business, Connor.”
Connor laughed and winked. “I’ll take
that as a no. You know, they say Nick only wants male assistants because he has
a super jealous wife at home who can’t handle the idea of him having a hot
secretary.”
Tayte inhaled sharply through his nose
and turned his smile up a notch.
“I haven’t encountered a wife, but that
doesn’t mean there isn’t one.”
And it was true. Tayte hadn’t encountered
any wives, girlfriends, no significant other at all. However, that didn’t mean
anything, since Nick received a lot of calls on his cell, but after two years,
Tayte was starting to think Nick was single.
But Hetero or Homo? That was the million
dollar question.
“I have heaps of work to do, Connor, and
I’m sure you do too.”
Connor giggled and stepped back, his hips
swinging as he moved back toward the lift.
“Oh, I’ve been working since sunrise. You
know how it is.” He winked and laughed, turning away without waiting for Tayte
to respond.
“No, but you certainly do.” Tayte
answered anyway, grinding his teeth in frustration for a minute. He hated those
sorts of guys. He didn’t mind effeminate gay men. Hell, he’d fucked more than
his fair share of them over the years. But guys that deliberately acted ‘gay’
when it wasn’t their natural disposition just pissed him off. Not to mention
how much men, and women for that matter, who slept their way to the top, and
Connor was a prime example of that, really grated on his nerves.
“Well, you can get in line behind me if
you want Nick, Connor, because I’m not moving.” Tayte muttered to himself and
scanned over his list of daily jobs. Wow. Lucky Nick was out of the office
today, or he’d never get all that done.
He worked all afternoon, not stopping
when everyone else left at five. He really should go home, but what was waiting
for him there? Two idiotic housemates and a pile of dirty washing.
“You could actually go out. Get laid.” He
muttered to himself once again, furious he wasn’t excited about another
one-night stand.
But how could he be? Ten minutes with
some random guy? Yuck, he’d had enough of that sort of life.
“You could, I’m sure.” Nick’s voice
boomed through the foyer and Tayte cried out as shock had him jumping back from
his desk, his heart leaping into his throat before settling to pound against
his rib cage as he looked up at his boss.
“Fuck, you scared me.”
Nick walked closer, pulling at his tie
and letting it hang on his shirt in a casual way.
“Why are you still here, Tayte? You’re
young and beautiful. You should be out getting your cock sucked by some lovely
little thing.”
Heat flowed up into Tayte’s cheeks and he
glanced down at his computer, quickly shutting down all the open programs. He’d
never heard Nick speak like that, and the crude words were turning him on in a
shameful way. Nothing better than a man who could talk dirty.
“Ah, well, I had to finish a few things
and I, ah, l…lost track of time. I’ll g…get out of your way and h…head home now
though.”
Tayte was stuttering, but he couldn’t
help it. He was as embarrassed as the day his mother had found him jerking off
in the bathroom when he was fifteen.
“Don’t rush, if you don’t have to go.
Stay.”
