Blurb(s): Blame it on jet lag. Jason Greene thought
he had everything: a dream job as a partner in a large Philadelphia law firm, a
beautiful fiancée, and more money than he could ever hope to spend. Then he
finds his future wife in bed with another man, and he’s forced to rethink his
life and his choices. On a moment’s notice, he runs away to Paris, hoping to
make peace with his life.
But Jason’s leave of absence becomes a true journey of the heart when he meets Jules, a struggling jazz violinist with his own cross to bear. In the City of Love, it doesn’t take them long to fall into bed, but as they’re both about to learn, they can’t run from the past. Sooner or later, they’ll have to face the music.

Excerpt:
“My
name’s Jules. Jules Bardon.”
“Jason Greene.”
“Enchanté.” Jules took Jason’s hand across the table. The
gesture was far too friendly. Flirtatious. Jason pulled his hand away and
raised an eyebrow. Jules appeared unfazed. “Here on business?”
“No.”
“Pleasure, then?”
“No.”
Jules laughed—a soft, almost girlish laugh. “Do I make you
uncomfortable?” He fixed his gaze on Jason.
“No,” lied Jason, finding Jules’s gaze a bit too intense.
“I could make this a pleasure visit for you.” Jules
absentmindedly traced a long finger across his own lips.
“I don’t bat for that team.” Jason borrowed the American
expression wholesale as his French failed him at last. It was not the first time
he’d spoken the words, although it was the first time he’d spoken them in
French. They were also not entirely true; it was simply that the right
opportunity had never presented itself.
Jules looked at him for a moment, clearly uncomprehending,
then laughed again.
“What’s so funny?” Jason demanded, noting a hint of licorice
on the air as his companion replaced his drink on the table.
“Oh,” Jules said, “I understand.” He laughed again. “Sorry.
I’ve just never heard it put that way before. At first I thought you were
asking me about baseball.” He took a swig of his drink and shrugged. “Too bad.
You looked like you could use a good—”
“Jules!”
“I have to go.” Jules sighed and appeared disappointed.
“Time for the next set. It was nice to meet you, Jason.” He tripped over the
name, and it came out sounding something like “Jah-sohn.” Jason chuckled in
spite of himself, reminded of the various ways in which his name had been
mangled by French speakers through the years. Jules sucked down the rest of his
drink in one swallow and stood up. “If you change your mind…,” he began, but
the drummer grabbed him by the arm and dragged him back toward the stage.
Not likely, kid. Jason chuckled again. He had enough shit to
deal with.

About the Author
In her last incarnation, Shira was a professional opera singer, performing roles in such operas as “Tosca,” “i Pagliacci,” and “La Traviata,” among others. She’s given up TV for evenings spent with her laptop, and she never goes anywhere without a pile of unread M/M romance on her Kindle.
Shira is married with two children and two insane dogs, and when she’s not writing she is usually in a courtroom trying to make the world safer for children. When she’s not working, she can be found aboard a 36’ catamaran at the Carolina coast with her favorite sexy captain at the wheel.
