Preface:
I love short stories. Sometimes a brief “snapshot” taken from a couple’s larger story is all that’s wanted. The narrative of “how they met” is the focus of six of the shorts in this set—quirky tales ranging from meeting at a charity fundraiser, to college kids pranking each other, to a mishap at a XXX adult video arcade.
Also included is a story featuring a well-established couple’s wedding dilemma, a friends-to-lovers tale, a coming-out-of-the-closet drama, and a continuation short that follows one of those how-we-mets. Rounding out this collection is an account revisiting the main characters from my full-length novel, ’Til Death Do Us Part.
All of these stories are contemporary, although one has a bit of paranormal flavor to it. Heat ratings range from “fairly sweet” to “rather steamy.” Excepting the final story, all were originally written in 2008 and early 2009. One (“Photo Shoot”) started out as a prompt word ficlet that I later fleshed out to a more complete story. Each has received a thorough overhaul, some more extensive than others. I hope you’ll enjoy reading them as much as I did writing them.

EXCERPT
(from Moving Along)
Mark couldn’t keep from laughing as he spun Brandt around the dance floor at the Christmas Eve party.
Grinning, Brandt peered up at him. “What’s so funny?”
“Nothing, darlin’, I’m just happy. I was thinking about when we met, how you just blew me away that night.”
Brandt smirked. “As I recall, I was the one who got blown that night.”
“That you did, darlin’, and I’ve been falling for you ever since.”
Brandt had a wistful expression in his eyes. “Falling for” was putting it lightly. Mark was in love, and there wasn’t even a shadow of a doubt in his mind. He hadn’t said it aloud to Brandt, though.
His muscles relaxed as he glided Brandt across the dance floor. All things considered, a snail’s pace might make the most sense for declarations of love, although it didn’t remotely describe how much time they spent together.
A vision of his ex-lover flashed through Mark’s mind. He tensed as he recalled his final confrontation with the cheating bastard. Trust, fidelity, and commitment. Those characteristics were important to Mark.

Grats, Addison! Nice little snippet. And I can’t stop staring at the chest hair on the cover. With my family having Japanese roots and my husband having Korean + Native American roots, there’s not many bare manly chests I see that have hair on them. 🙂
