A Secret Love is a short, M/M erotic romance published by Evernight Publishing.
The story focuses on James and Mark, two men who have long been forced to hide their relationship from those around them. They are lovers, but they are forced to meet up only when their schedules permit, often in hotels where they can steal a few days together before returning to their normal lives. Thankfully for them, the end of their secrecy is now in sight. They have decided to leave behind everything they know and move abroad, where they can be together without having to hide. With six months left, they get together in a remote, highland hotel to sate their passion and discuss their future, but, in life, things rarely go according to plan.
Blurb
James
is nervous when he pulls into the car park of the secluded and conservative
Caledonian Hotel. He slips off his wedding ring, gives a false name at
reception and checks into his room.
When
Mark finally arrives James expects their time together to conform to the usual
pattern, but Mark surprises him. Mark wants candlelit dinners and walks on the
beach. James, well, James just wants to make up for lost time. More
importantly, he doesn’t want to get caught. They have six months left before
they can leave behind everything they know and start a new life together and
James is desperate to be discrete. Unfortunately, he never could control
himself around Mark. Throw in an interfering old couple and some very public
displays of affection and Mark and James’s short hotel stay might just be about
to destroy not only the secrecy that has always shrouded their relationship,
but also their plans for a future together.
Excerpt
Mark returned the kiss passionately. James trembled in his arms. Tension coursed through his body and he could feel it mirrored in Mark’s. He could almost taste the other man’s nerves in his kiss. James savoured Mark’s strong arms around him. He pushed his hands inside Mark’s suit jacket and clung to the warm, toned body underneath. The body was so familiar despite the amount of time that had passed since their last meeting.
“God I’ve missed you,” James said when
he finally pulled away. Mark was breathless and didn’t respond at first, but
the sexy, playful smile on his lips told James everything he needed to know.
James took his hands and led him further into the room.
It was a large suite with living
area and a huge bathroom. Mark swung a new sports bag, bright orange and
emblazoned with sponsorship logos, off his shoulder and dumped it onto one of
the two couches. He paused momentarily, reaching into his suit pocket.
James watched as Mark pulled out his phone and turned it off without checking for messages. He waited patiently until Mark had tucked it safely into his bag and smiled at him when he had finished. “Difficult getting away this time?” he asked.

Mark nodded. “I left as soon as I
could. I was so scared I was going to miss the flight. I’m sorry it had to be
mid-week this time. Will you get in trouble at work?”
“I have the flu.”
Mark smirked. “You look perfectly healthy to me.”

Mark smirked. “You look perfectly healthy to me.”
“It came on all of a sudden,” James said, closing the space between them. “Unexpected. Probably be gone in a few days. You know how these things are.” Mark nodded and James slipped into his arms once more. With his head on Mark’s shoulder, he turned to whisper against the other man’s neck. “I wouldn’t have been able to stand it if you had missed the flight, if you had cancelled. It’s been so long. It’s always so long.”
