Dancing
With A Star
A
Shore Thing Series Book 2
You
had my heart as a boy, and whether you realized it or not, you’ve
kept it all these years.
Androgynous
fashion model Quinn Bouchard knew this day was coming. Hours before
one of the most important photo shoots of his career, his wife asks
for a divorce—a divorce they had agreed upon before exchanging
vows—causing upheaval in his otherwise happy queerplatonic
relationship. As if the day wasn’t hard enough, Quinn learns Xander
Engstrom, his childhood best friend now a movie star, is part of the
photo shoot, and their reunion awakens something Quinn hasn’t felt
in years, leaving him sure of only one thing: he needs Xander back in
his life.
Movie
star Xander Engstrom has regrets, and the epic fight spread across
the tabloids between him and his ex-boyfriend—an addict that won’t
leave him alone—is the biggest. To control the damage, Xander
agrees to an interview and photo shoot with a well-respected
publication where he meets Quinn, the first boy he had a crush on.
Xander’s pathetic, romantic heart falls all over again for his
long-lost friend. The only problem is the type of relationship he’s
thinking of isn’t possible with the stunning model.
Living
on opposite coasts and worlds apart, they navigate through months of
coordinating schedules, the whims of a finicky film company, and
nights in hotel rooms to spend time with each other until secrets
force them to choose between a future together or letting their pasts
tear them apart.
This
friends-to-lovers, slow-burn romance contains implied sexual abuse,
one photogenic gargoyle, and discussions about cannibalism.
Can
be read as a stand-alone book as Quinn’s story starts before
Julien’s in Living on a Dare (Book One) and ends a year
later.

Living
On a Dare
A
Shore Thing Series Book 1
Stuntman
Draven O’Connor never turns down a dare—even if it means getting
down on one knee to propose to his former college roommate and
friend. The same man he’s been crushing on since the first day they
met. The same man that has grown distant over the past year. And the
same man who just agreed to be his fiancé.
Julien
Bouchard is tired of living a lie. He spent the past year exploring
his sexuality in secret, enduring countless dates with women to
appease his mother, and dodging his best friend, Draven, who knows
everything there is to know about him, except the one thing that
could change their friendship. Ready to face his friend, he meets him
at a bar and is greeted by an unexpected marriage proposal. The dare
isn’t surprising; it’s the scorching hot kiss that sends Julien’s
head and heart in a tailspin—and gives him an idea for the perfect
plan.
But
his plan hits a bump when news of their fake engagement spreads to
their families as fast as a wildfire, forcing them to confront their
true feelings about each other and hope they don’t get burned.

GUEST POST
Set Yourself on Fire_Blog Post 2_GK Delaney
Hi, I’m Grace Kilian Delaney. Thank you for having me here today to promote my Shore Thing series, books about men in the film industry who start out living on opposite coasts of the US, and of course fall in love and move across the country to be with their beau.
I’ve lived in Southern California half of my life, the other half I lived minutes away from the Atlantic Ocean. Writing the Shore Thing Series has been a way to synthesize my East Coast roots with my West Coast lifestyle, and it’s been a fun undertaking.
My life is far from glamourous, unlike Xander’s or Quinn’s in Dancing with a Star, though I have been to the Emmys twice and have met some famous people in the entertainment industry. One, in particular, helped with the technicalities of the fire stunt in Flirting with Fire. The son of a well-known stunt performer, he described what was needed to do a full-body burn while in a harness—lots of Nomex, steel wire, and a devout crew to put out the flames. In Flirting with Fire, Tate is the lucky guy who lives to burn (I know, bad joke). Check out Flirting with Fire to read about it!
