Not As Easy As It Looks

Jaime Samms is a plaid-hearted Canadian who spends the too-long winters writing stories about love between men and the too-short summers digging in the garden. There are dust bunnies in the corners of her house-which she blames on a husky named Kai. There are dishes on the counter?which is clearly because teenagers! There is hot coffee in the pot and the occasional meal to keep her from starving?because her husband is remarkable and patient.A multi-published author whose work has been translated into French, Italian, and German, Jaime delights in the intricate dance of words that leads her through tales of the lost and broken hearted men she writes about to the love stories that find and mend them.And when the muse is being stubborn, she also makes pretty things with yarn and fabric scraps because in her world, no heart is too broken to love, and nothing is too worn or tired it can't be upcycled into something beautiful. All it takes is determination and the ability to see life a little bit left of center.

Don Jenkins will do anything for a happy, thriving family and home, but keeping his farm going is a constant challenge. He's always depended on Griff McAllister, his partner and first love, to support him in his work and in his need to submit in the bedroom. When he discovers Griff might be losing faith in him, he's at a loss for how to mend the relationship. Then Howard Campbell-a man Don and Griff both love beyond words-is added to the mix. With jealousy threatening their bond and the viability of the farm in question, Don's dreams begin to crumble.Nearly losing Howard in an accident serves as a wakeup call. They begin to pull their relationship out of the muck and work to remember why they came together in the first place. If they can figure out how to help one another and balance the dynamics of dominance and submission between them so each man gets what he needs, the trio might build the loving future they've dared to hope for. They must be brave enough to commit every resource they can muster-especially trust, understanding, and acceptance-and realize true love is never as easy as it looks.
