The life most real to me. As evidenced by the preponderance of posts.
From Knight Errant, a poker game about to go seriously wrong. I love this scene. 😀 (Knight Errant is in Taro’s POV. His Faithful Squire is in Rafe’s, in case you’re confused by recent Six Sentence posts.) Captain Wallis looked at her cards, looked at me. Looked at her cards. Looked at my pile. Looked […]

So if you’re in the M/M Romance group on Goodreads, you may have read this, but I wanted to snip from it anyway because I don’t know how much overlap there is.
