Gay Erotic Contemporary Romance – Short Story
Rated: Red Hot!

Present Day

Here comes the judge…His Honor Jackson Benedict is on the fast track in judicial circles and if his father has his way, Jackson's final stop will be the Supreme Court.  Unfortunately, it also means that Jackson must hide in the closet lest his sexual orientation ruin an otherwise promising career.  But just because he can't touch, doesn't mean he can't look and Federal Agent Trey London is pure eye candy.  Too bad Jackson can't do anything about it.  That all changes, however, when Jackson begins to get disturbing packages in the mail.

Trey London has always trusted his gaydar and all bells are ringing where Judge Benedict is concerned.  If Trey had his way, he'd have this judge coming…over and over again.  When he hears about Jackson's suspicious mail, Trey jumps at the chance to finally get close to the man behind the bench.  The moment they're alone, the two cut to the chase and reveal their true feelings to each other.  It would all be perfect except for Jackson's megalomaniacal father, a creepy house-breaking stalker and…oh yeah…Jackson's closeted sexuality.  Thankfully, Trey's packing and raring to go.

Annmarie McKenna has created a pair of gorgeous, testosterone driven heroes who complement each other perfectly.  While the story is funny, engaging and undeniably sexy, one does have to suspend reality in the way Agent London does his job protecting Jackson.  (Honestly, one agent to protect a Federal judge after there's been an attempted abduction?!)  But who cares about reality anyway.  Two hot guys, a bottle of chocolate sauce and a banana.  Need I say more?  Didn't think so.
