Title: Anyone But You by Brien Michaels
Publisher: Riptide Publishing
Genre: Contemporary, Gay, Erotic, Romance, Mystery, Suspense
Length: 223 pages/Word Count: 59,000

Summary:

Murder is one hell of a drag.
Jack Kieza has a problem. He’s deeply attracted to men, but his homophobic family has left him too
afraid to act on it. With his thirtieth birthday around the corner, his curiosity gets the best of him, and he finds himself at a gay club. After spending a fiery night with drag queen Sheila Saltue, everything changes. Especially when he discovers her alter ego: his boss, Ryan Swift.

Ryan knew he should’ve said no the second Jack approached him. Now he can’t stop himself from
texting Jack every chance he gets. But Jack won’t let him take the wig off during sex, and being
Sheila off-stage is wearing thin.

The more time they spend together, the more intense their feelings get, but Jack isn’t ready to date a
man yet. When drag queens start turning up murdered, it forces Jack to reexamine his feelings,
because what if Ryan is next? While Jack wants their burgeoning relationship to work, it would mean
having to admit who he is to the world. And that’s an idea as frightening as death.

Summary (Includes Secret Message 1):

Author Bio

Brien Michaels was hatched shortly before the turn of the century. He grew up in the DMV area and has been creating characters for as long as he can remember, starting with an imaginary friend named Farquad Beaverhausen. Before turning his considerably wicked imagination to writing, he was an actor, aspiring film student, movie theater concessionist, and the first human to enter the seventy-second dimension. Though it is unclear whether he made it back or if Farquad’s evil twin, Brad, has taken control of his body. He’s currently on the run from the Secret Police, who want to bring him in for questioning regarding the whereabouts of erotica authors L.A. Witt and Lauren Gallagher. If you encounter him, please contact his publishers immediately, as he likely should be chained to a desk writing and not out walking children in nature.
