Author Bio:
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.

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.
