    About this ebook

    Trevor is a hopeless romantic and he keeps calling Daniel up. He’s tall, funny, good-looking and a gentleman. He’s also painfully shy. Daniel is done waiting for him to make the first move. When Trevor phones, Daniel suggests a quiet evening over at Trevor's place. Perhaps a friendly game of cards will help break the ice. If Trevor really is that shy, Daniel will seduce him. A short story.

    Harold C. Jones

    Harold C. Jones does professional landscape design and is an avid sports fan. He started writing as a hobby. He began taking it seriously when he realized he had something to say. His work has helped him to come to terms with himself, or perhaps explore himself would be more accurate. Harold believes that homo-erotica is valid as literature, and that it can be written in such a way that real stories of real people takes precedence over mere prurience. It can still be a hot read.
