Santa Fe attorney Danny Hanrahan loves life in his adopted hometown. He’s got good friends, a great job, and a gorgeous home. The only thing he’s missing is someone with whom to share it all, but when his trusty assistant Monica sets him up with her sexy son Ashok, Danny quickly considers the “boyfriend” box checked, too.<br><br>Ashok is fit, charming, and dynamite in the sack; falling in love with him is a piece of cake. Embracing Ashok’s alter ego, celebrated drag diva Raima Reason, proves to be more of a challenge. Danny divorced his wife for a reason, and it wasn't so he could go out and find someone who takes even longer than she did to put on makeup. When Raima's career looks set to take off, Danny has to decide if he's along for the ride, or if a boyfriend who's sometimes a girl is more than he can handle.

Love Has Reasons

“Thanks for not asking me if I play basketball,” he said eventually after they’d pulled their mouths apart and pressed their bodies together.


Ashok turned his head to make sideways eye contact. “You’re welcome?” he said. “I mean, I kind of assumed…”


Danny chuckled low, loving the feel of Ashok against him as he did. “Lacrosse, actually,” he said. “But everybody asks me if I play basketball. It’s kind of the main reason I never did. I hear it literally every day. It’s super refreshing to go through a whole date without hearing it.”

Danny felt a languid smile spread across his own face. “I mean, it doesn’t have to be. It’s not so late. What do you have going on tomorrow?”


“Early,” he said, setting his luxuriant eyelashes to fluttering. “Why? Are you asking me if I’ll sleep with you on the first date?”
