Today I got a new book contract!

Lincoln's Park

Lincoln Merriweather, born an ass with a silver spoon in his mouth. Entitled brat would be the kindest words used to describe him. He expected—demanded—to be bowed down to. Whether at the BDSM club or in business, Lincoln was a storm, blowing in and disrupting the lives of everyone he touched. Until the day he met a man who peeled away those layers, and let Lincoln find the decent person underneath. For the first time, Lincoln found love. Then lost it. Since then, he’s done what he could to atone for his past, including hiring the people he would have spit on before his epiphany. Lincoln has found a measure of peace, which he’s about to lose to the hazel-eyed man who walks into his diner.

Noel Simmons, kicked out by his loving parents when they found out he was gay. Thrown out onto the streets, he was lost. Fortunately, a good man took him in and gave Noel shelter while he found his way in the world. His path leads him to Lincoln’s doorstep, where he asks for a job. He’s thrilled when Lincoln agrees to hire him, but finds Lincoln perplexing, to say the least. No one could be this good and decent. Could they?

What starts out as business becomes something more. Noel discovers he needs Lincoln to feel safe. Lincoln realizes he needs Noel to complete him. But when Lincoln’s past gets in the way of his present, will the two have a future?

It's supposed to be the first book in a two part series. We'll see how the sales go for it before anything is decided. But I'm happy I got the contract!
