The fraternization policy their company holds dear means they\u2019ve got to keep their new relationship deep under wraps. Grant knows this could end very badly. He could be charged with sexual harassment, accused of favoritism, or worse\u2014they could both be unemployed. Grant is willing to risk it all to dip his pen in the company ink<\/em>.

This week it was Cameron Dane&#8217;s ReneCade. A contemporary western-ish m\/m. There is a whole lot of emotion in this one, and one of the big plot points is a &#8220;mistake&#8221; that Ren makes that really sends both men reeling. I won&#8217;t give it away, but Cameron does a great job by not glossing it over, or making Cade so quick to forgive.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000080;\"><strong>Hero Quote ~<\/strong><\/span> From the free read I&#8217;m working on.
