From the Ashes
by Daisy Harris
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
BLURB:
When an accident burns down Jesse’s apartment, he’s left
broke and homeless, with a giant dog and a college schedule he can’t afford to
maintain. And no family who’s willing to take him in.
Lucky for him, a sexy fireman offers him a place to stay.
The drawback? The fireman’s big Latino family lives next door, and they don’t
know their son is gay.
Tomas’s parents made their way in America with hard work and
by accepting help when it was offered, so he won’t let Jesse drop out of school
just so he can afford a place to live. Besides, Jesse’s the perfect
roommate—funny, sweet and breathtakingly cute. He climbs into Tomas’s bed and
tugs at his heart. Until Jesse starts pushing for more.
Their passion enflames their bodies but threatens to crush
Tomas’s family. Tomas is willing to fight for Jesse, but after losing
everything, Jesse isn’t sure he can bear to risk his one remaining
possession—his heart.
Warning: Contains an angry older brother, judgmental best
friends, a slobbering bull mastiff, and enough red-hot gay loving to make a
porn star blush.

EXCERPT:
Whimpering, Char tugged on the
leash. She backed up and barked to shoo the other dogs away. But then Sushi
went around to sniff her ass, and Char took the opportunity to return the
favor. Suddenly, something was decided between them, and they were sniffing all
over each other, play fighting.
It wasn’t much different than the
couple clubs Jesse had been to, except that men tended to wait until they were
in private to lick one another’s butts.
Only Chester hung back, batting
with his paws. He seemed to want to get in a couple sniffs but was thwarted by
the more aggressive Sushi. With his gray muzzle, he had the air of an old dog,
one not up to wrestling with a hundred- pound mastiff.
“I think I can let her go.” Tomas struggled to get the collar
off Chardonnay’s neck and set her free.
Fur flew everywhere as the two
dogs wrestled and grabbed and yelped and growled, with Chester barking his
loudest in the background. Jesse stepped forward to stop them from hurting one
another, but Tomas pushed him out of the way.
“They’ll figure it out,” he said,
close to Jesse’s ear. The way he crowded him toward the door was exactly what
Jesse liked. Jesse didn’t have much experience—just that month and a half with
Bobby, and a few hookups since he’d moved to Seattle—but a guy advancing on
him, pushing him into a wall or onto a bed... Man, the rough-and-ready types
really turned his knob.
“Um, yeah.” He’d forgotten what
he and Tomas were discussing.
A loud yelp sounded from the
yard. “Aren’t you worried one of them’ll get hurt?”
Tomas gave Jesse a smile so hot
it could have melted paint off the walls. “Nah. Sushi and Chester were strays.
They’ve toughed it out before.”
AUTHOR Bio and
Links:
Birkenstock-wearing glamour girl and mother of two by immaculate
conception, Daisy Harris still isn't sure if she writes erotica. Her romances
start out innocently enough. However, her characters behave like complete
sluts. Much to Miss Harris's dismay the sex tends to get completely out of
hand.
She writes about fantastical creatures and about young men getting their
freak on, and she's never missed an episode of The Walking Dead.

Thanks for hosting!
ReplyDeleteSo did you base anything in the book off of real life experiences?

Thanks for having me on the blog today, Rachel!
ReplyDeleteYes, Andra, a ton from the book is based on real life experiences. For example, I once had a house fire! Came home and found my home burning, just like Jesse did. I didn't get taken in by a sexy firefighter. Rather, some friends let me crash at their house that night. But I remember quite clearly how I felt--so panicked I couldn't think straight.
And of course the whole book takes place in Seattle, where I live. So I borrowed heavily from real life. :)
Did you pick the image for the book cover?

I actually did choose the stock image for the cover, though the cover artist prettied it up and designed the font. :)
