Santiago writes gay romance with tasteful erotic scenes, and a weekly series on WordPress titled "Something Like Fate." He meets a friendly new fan in the comment section of his latest blog post, a reviewer of hardcore gay erotica with kinky and taboo themes. At first Santiago is turned off by the vulgar reviews, questionable themes, and porn retweets that make the reviewer seem like an oversexed horndog. Santiago's a Christian with traditional morals, and he prefers sex scenes to be implied and not explicit. However, he realizes he shouldn't judge and decides to give the reviewer a chance.<br><br>They start chatting privately on Twitter and connect so well, Santiago is intrigued by this mysterious man named Gary. Their newfound connection quickly evolves into a long-distance friendship, which then becomes something that causes their feelings for each other to grow more intensely than they’re prepared for in a matter of days.<br><br>During a steamy video chat, Gary reveals he lives a kinky lifestyle as a Dominant, and only a submissive can satisfy his relationship needs. He won't have it any other way. Santiago wonders if he wants to ignore his morals and get involved in a Dominant/submissive relationship. Can they make it work? Is Santiago willing to change his life for someone he barely knows?

#SomethingLikeFate

My phone buzzed in silent mode, and since there weren’t any customers in the store, I felt safe to check it. Faith Hilton had sent me a text, asking if I was available after work to meet for coffee. She apparently wanted to talk to me about something important, and while we got along well, she was still a devout member of our church. Well, herchurch, since I no longer attended. She was a bit judgmental when it came to the reallybad sinners, but since she hadn’t mentioned anything to me about my gay romance series, I felt it was safe to meet up with her one more time. I replied with my acceptance and got back to work. I only hoped she wouldn’t try to get me to come back to church, assuming she already knew the story.


I completed another task and began straightening random shoes within the aisles to make the store extra presentable. I was usually alone in the mornings since the store wasn’t busy during those hours, but I had a few coworkers coming in soon to work until close.
