Pieces of Me

Scott Ashworth is a beautiful man and the hottest club host on the Phoenix gay scene. He takes what he wants, does what he wants, and does whom he wants. It's a good life, but the journey to local popularity and fame wasn't an easy one. For all that Scott's looks are a blessing, at the same time they're a curse—the source of his alcoholic mother's inexplicable hatred. Rylan Mahoney dreams of photojournalistic glory. He's in Phoenix looking for the story of a lifetime, but the project isn't coming to fruition. Needing rent money, he accepts a gig at Phoenix Pride hawking lewd lollipops and edible condoms…all while wearing gold lamé hot pants and a matching bow tie. When Rylan's house keys and street clothes go missing after his shift, he's desperate, until a stranger in a convertible stops to help. The man is absolute sex on legs, and Rylan is jolted when he recognizes him—his stepbrother Scott Ashworth, long missing but suddenly larger than life. Scott is affluent and successful now, light years away from his hardscrabble days living with Rylan in a double-wide trailer deep in the heart of the Florida Panhandle. Reunited after six years apart, Scott and Rylan are determined to put their past behind them, but fate may have other ideas and leave their future in jeopardy yet again.
