      The ancient desert O’odham people’s creation stories parallel the path a young Guy Thornton takes to emerge from the “maze” he has made of his life. The novel opens in the center of the narrative as Guy, a down-on-his-luck Arabian horse trainer fresh out of prison, is getting drunk at the Wander On Inn. He spends the next several months living in the central Arizona desert with an elderly O’odham woman who seeks to teach him “tribe spirit,” while alternating chapters recount the past and his big break when the wealthy Frank Fielding hires him to tend to his champion Arabian mare. Unfortunately, Guy becomes entangled with Fielding’s wife, Lily, and her teenaged, mentally unstable sister, Rose, derailing his dreams of success and belonging through deceit and callous betrayal.

      In Book Two of The Arizona Series, Navajo Monster Slayer myths are threaded through the story of the runaway Rose, now sixteen, and Jack Rawlings’ cattle ranching family who live near Winslow in northern Arizona. Jack’s cancer diagnosis sends him reeling, and feeling ranching life in the west is ending with his own, he undertakes a vigilante mission only to disappear on the Navajo reservation after falling into an abandoned kiva. His shy, bookish daughter, Kate, authors her own version of events, focusing on her courtship and marriage to the school teacher, Richard, and culminating in the birth of their child, Grace Elizabeth, named after the previous two generations of Arizona pioneer women. Jack is raised from the kiva just as Grace enters the world, and although Rose believes the Arabian stallion she ran away on was drowned in the flash flood that ended Elder Brother’s Maze, she finds redemption in her adoption by Jack’s family.

      Hopi migration myths illuminate the third book in The Arizona Series. After six years of searching, Guy finally discovers Rose working on the Rawlings’ nearly dismantled ranch. The girl is now a woman still using her adopted name, Jane. Although medication helps her manage her bi-polar symptoms, her first impulse upon seeing Guy is to run. Alternating chapters describe her deteriorating mental state as she camps among the Homolovi ruins on the Little Colorado River; her pursuit by Guy, Kate, and Richard; and Guy’s adventures in the central Arizona desert six years prior as he struggles to recover the Arabian stallion that Rose had run away on. Despite the hardships each narrative describes, including the death of the little spotted dog, Pearl, all paths lead home by the end.

    Thanks so much for checking out my page. I go by Romeo because I'm holding down a not-so-steamy day job while writing steamy gay stories. So I have to be a bit cagey in my bio, but I do love interacting with readers.I’ve been fascinated by the psychology and emotionality of gay relationships ever since I had my first crush as a teenager, and I think the truth is love and attraction can be a hot mess. When two men get together, it’s triumphant, transcendent, and life-affirming while also scalding, stupefying and even enraging at times. That’s the kind of relationships I write about because the journey to happily-ever-after isn’t all pretty, and when it comes to love stories, the more drama the better, right?I write three series that each have their own flavor and texture in addition to standalone high heat level romances. Guilty Pleasures Editions is a branded series of high octane romantic thrillers. The Arizona series is a Southern gothic set in the 1980s and 1990s. Last, Storytime Editions are retold fairytales with lots of humor and graphic sex.Otherwise, what I can say about myself is that I’m married to a great guy, and I believe in happily-ever-after. Scratch me a little, and I might tell you more!
