Blue Skye
(Woodlands Village 01)
by
Viki Lyn
After years apart, two childhood friends are reunited– but will Skye settle for less than love and will Drew face his greatest fear?
Skye Taylor lives the artist life in Manhattan, openly gay and proud. Drew Adams, socially conservative and from one of Woodland Village’s wealthiest families, lives within the limits of his father’s expectations. A successful architect, Drew is content with his work and his marriage. The secret he desperately hides remains safely hidden behind lies and deception, so he thought.
Best friends in high school, Skye and Drew were inseparable. Quiet and serious, Drew was drawn to the outgoing Skye and his hippy loving parents. Then graduation night changes everything. Uncontrollable urges are discovered in a night of passion, a love Drew refuses to acknowledge, a love Skye refuses to deny. Skye leaves town, leaves Drew and leaves all his feelings behind. But he never forgot Drew and that one night that changed their lives.
Years later, painful memories surface with Skye’s arrival and Drew’s carefully constructed world begins to unravel.

Ryan’s Harbor
(Woodlands Village 02)
One-night stands and pretty women don’t seem to give Ryan that buzz that it once did. When he meets his architect, Martin Pierson, there’s a deep connection that goes beyond friendship. Can they cross the barrier into love?
The boys of Woodland Village are back. This time it’s Drew’s brother, Ryan Adams, that’s going through a crisis of doubt. He’s always been the guy who breezed through relationships, never getting serious with the women he dates. He doesn’t know why, but one-night stands and pretty women don’t seem to give him that buzz like before.
Then one night, at his brother’s barbecue, he encounters Drew’s assistant, Martin Pierson. Martin agrees to design Ryan’s new building for his gaming company – Fantasy Arts. As they spend time together in and out of the office, their working relationship grows into friendship and something more. But Martin can’t forgive himself for causing his brother’s death to allow for love. Ryan wants to be Martin’s safe harbor, a steadfast place where Martin can heal his heart. But can Martin put his trust in the notorious playboy of Woodland Village?

John’s Match
(Woodlands Village 03)
Fantasy writer Scott Marwick just might be John’s financial savior if John can convince Scott to sign over the character rights for a new computer game. John befriends Scott for one purpose — to get him to sign — never planning on falling in love. When John shatters Scott’s trust, can Scott forgive and move on from his past mistakes?
John Kramer discovers two guys humping on the hood of his Ferrari in the parking lot of the local gay bar. When he finds one of the pair alone and in a drunken stupor, John drives him home. To his surprise, the young man’s father is his new next door neighbor, Scott Marwick. Tempers flare when Scott accuses John of getting his son inebriated and taking advantage of him. John plans to never see the man again.
Then John’s boss flips out when he finds out the jerk next door is the Scott Marwick, a temperamental, but famous fantasy writer. The elusive author could save their company from financial ruin if they can get him to sign over his characters for a computer game. Ryan insists John befriend Scott, show him around the Village and get him to agree to a meeting.
The last thing Scott needs is friends. He moved to Woodland Village to forget about the past and to write. Since his partner’s death three years ago, he hasn’t written one word, and his agent, publisher, and fans are clamoring for the final book of his award-winning series. His life is spiraling out of control and he doesn’t know if he can finish his series. He doesn’t need the complication of love and he certainly wouldn’t associate his name with a computer game.
But when John’s life begins to fall apart, Scott must decide where his loyalties lie — with John or his principles.

Character Interview
Writer, Scott Marwick, couldn’t wait to ask his lover, CFO John Kramer, some questions that he’s been dying to find out. So when he was invited to interview his lover, he jumped at the chance.
SM: You’re always so put-together; from your perfectly sculpted head to your leather clad toes. I’m curious what is the most you ever paid for a pair of shoes? (Scott’s smile is oh so wicked.)
JK: (Clears his throats as a slight blush tints his face) Well, not sure I can remember, but…(he shuffled his feet) I did splurge for a pair of Sutor Mantellassi shoes when I was in Rome. Hey, they’ve been in business since 1912, and use the best leather. Well worth the cost. I still have them. And that was years ago. So if you think of the price over the long span of time, they weren’t really that much of a splurge.
SM: Spoken like a numbers man. And the price…
JK: Around $3,000 (He mumbled.)
SM: Which one of your friends looks best in a speedo? And, don’t say me. (He looks down at his lanky frame and shakes his head.)
JK: Shit, I don’t notice my friends in that way. And, I happen to like men slender with sexy runner legs.
SM: (Scott’s brows lift) Right…just answer the question.
JK: Okay, okay. I’d have to say it’s a toss-up between Skye and Ryan. Ryan has that swimmer’s body going for him. He was on his college swim team and still keeps in shape by hitting the pool. Skye, well he looks good in anything he wears.
SM: That he does. (Scott sighs) And the shit doesn’t work out at all. Okay last question. What item of clothing do I wear that you can’t stand?
JK: Only one?
SM: Hey
JK: (Laughing) Just kidding. You’ve gotten better since you’ve moved in with me. Thank God I was able to go through your wardrobe. But that ratty bathrobe has to go.
SM: I keep it for sentimental reasons. I was wearing it the first time we met. Don’t your remember.
JK: Yeah, and if looks could kill I would have been a dead man! But hey, forgive and forget. I love you, babe.
Excerpt
Skye took out two glasses and cleaned them with his shirttail. He shoved the bottles back on the shelf and poured the brandy while shutting the cabinet door with his foot. He handed a brandy to Drew. Did he dare sit next to him? Or, should he play it cool?
Skye sank into the armchair across from Drew. Yeah. Better to play it cool.
Drew looked around the room. “This place has real possibilities. The location’s fantastic. Bay windows would open this room and bring in the ocean.”
“I don’t plan on living here.”
Drew swirled the brandy in his glass, the thick liquor coating the sides. “You’re not more than two hours away from New York by train.”
“It might as well be eight. It’s another world.”
“It’s your home.”
“Was my home. There’s no reason for me to visit, not anymore.”
Not when you don’t want me.
