Blurb:
At fifteen, Troy and Liam were fostered by the same
family, and although they hated each other at first, they gradually became
solid friends. As adults, the two foster brothers live together. Both
experience tough times, each being a rock for the other, but their love had
never been anything other than brotherly.
Until they both fall for the same guy, and things get... complicated.
Dalton is fresh out of a ten year marriage. Feeling lost, he concentrates on the only thing he can control—his body. Developing from a chubby, unfit police officer into a lean, mean inked one, Dalton has never looked better, but inside, he's never felt worse. A relationship is far from his thoughts, and one with another man makes Dalton even more confused. He takes time to get to know Troy and Liam separately, but Manchester isn’t that big, and sparks fly when fate throws the three together.
Together, these three fight it out between them. Both Troy and Liam demand Dalton choose between them, but what if he didn't have to choose? What if it could work between three?
The things in life we fight for are never the easiest, but they’re the ones worth holding onto forever.

Excerpt:
Liam chatted with Milo, but Dalton was too busy trying to stop hyperventilating and not staring at Liam’s body, seeing it as he last saw it—wet and tense, excited and looking sinful in that shower cubicle. Those types of thoughts weren’t going to help him calm down. Why oh why did that have to happen?Blue leaned in, calming strokes running up and down Dalton’s back, sweetly spoken words whispered against his neck, and Dalton’s tension eased a little. “Is he an ex or something?”
“No,” Dalton choked out.
“Oh, I just thought there was some history there.” Blue’s glossy red lips curled into a smile.
“There’s no history of that kind.”
“But there is some to speak about?” Blue opened his green eyes wider and nodded. “It’s obvious. Maybe it’s time you resolved this tension between the two of you somehow.”
“What?” Dalton stiffened.
“Well, there's obviously something happening between you two.”
“Yeah, but not what you think.”
Blue bit his lip while he thought. “Hmm, there’s a few different things going on from where I'm sitting.” He nudged his thigh against Dalton’s dick, and for the first time, he realised he was excited. “Or is this for me?”
Dalton truly had no idea. He was confused by his own body, not understanding why he was reacting at all. But it had happened in the showers while he watched Liam. Maybe it was those moments replaying in his mind which caused his cock to stiffen in his jeans.
Maybe it was the fact he had someone sitting on him, caring about him, someone with long legs and big heels, who was wearing make-up and who was confusing Dalton’s body by being more feminine than he was used to in a man. But then, Dalton was close to Samuel. He was beautiful and more feminine than Blue and this had never happened, and hadn't Samuel been sitting on his knee earlier? Maybe he was losing his mind. Maybe he’d already lost it.
“I don’t… I really don’t know,” he whispered into Blue’s hair. “I just… I have to go.”
“Wait, sexy.” Blue pressed his body more into his, meeting his eyes, those black lashes coated thickly in mascara. “Don’t run off just yet. There’s no need.”
“I'm not gay,” Dalton rushed out as low as he could make his voice, darting his gaze to Liam, his tight V-necked vest showing off those big muscles, jeans encasing his firm arse, that bottle hanging in between his lips.
This time, when Blue rubbed his thigh over his cock, Dalton grabbed Blue’s slender calf running up his leg and just held it, not moving him away but not pulling him closer—just frozen, not knowing what to do.
“You don’t have to label yourself with anything, Dalton.” Blue took hold of his chin, fingertips gently caressing his skin and making Dalton shift his gaze from Liam back to him. “I think…” He eased closer still, his thigh now pressed against the rigid length encased in Dalton’s jeans. “If your body needs something, it lets you know. If your eyes find something pleasing, they look more. If your heart beats faster for someone, then you follow it. I'm not gay. I'm a person. A human being. That’s the label I want to be tagged with. Hashtag Human.” He clicked his fingers with a bright smile.
Dalton smiled through his fear and understood what Blue was saying. He just wasn’t ready to think the same way. “That’s nice.”
“It’s the truth. The truth is always a good thing. I always think our brains confuse us. They have all this bullshit ‘learned’ behaviour which they pick up over the years and it tells you to think one way, your body saying another. It takes time for those two to work together and come to some sort of an agreement, but we all get there eventually. Just don’t pressure yourself, hon.” Blue leaned in, kissing the corner of his mouth, Dalton’s cock now crushed against his thigh. “Of course, I would like to think this is for me, but I know better.” Blue pulled back with a heavy sigh. “If you change your mind though…” He winked with a chuckle.
“Blue.” Samuel was beside them, looking between them both. “Dalton’s a bit…” He drifted off, worrying his bottom lip with his teeth, obviously not wanting to spill too much personal info about Dalton’s bad day and emotional state.
“Confused, sweetie?” Blue offered brightly.
“Yeah.” Samuel looked to the sky, then took hold of Blue’s hand. “You go get some air, Dalton.”

Q and A with Nicole Colville
1. Let’s start out by getting to know you. Tell us 4 things about
yourself that are not in your bio.
I’m blonde, very, very blonde lol And I don’t just mean my hair colour.
I spend my life in a daily haze of slight confusion, so bear with me.
I’m a cat person and I have two at home called Marius and Loki – Loki is
a true nightmare. Never name your cat after the god of mischief, it’s just asking
for trouble.
I’m a huge Star Trek fan. I adore it and probably have all the episodes
of The Next Gen stuck in my memory forever.
I’m a shoeaholic. I’m seeking help through the ten step programme and
I’m taking each day at a time. Hopefully, one day, I’ll be able to walk past
shop window without buying a pair.
2. If you could go anywhere, all expenses paid, where would you go?
Disney Land with my family. My two little girls are dying to go, when they get a bit older and taller, they can go, and I can find some nice spar to send a few hours in a relax.
3. List three books you have recently read and would recommend.
Fighting his Fire – Ann Lister’s Rock God's series. One of the best in
the series for me, I loved it.
Rhythm of Us – Aimee Nicole Walker. It’s book two in her Fated Hearts
Series. She’s an amazing writer and a beautiful person to know.
Fret – Sandrine Gaso-Dion. It’s a new series and I jumped in from the
beginning with it this time so I didn’t fall behind.
4. What do you always order in a favorite restaurant?
My absolute favourite restaurant makes the
most amazing steaks. I’m picky about my meat and when I
order a steak it’s blue, super rare, and because I don’t have it often I would
order that with some buttery baby potatoes and veg.
5. What do you hope to accomplish in the next 12 months?
I have a huge list of books to be written. Now Dalton is finished,
I can go back to my short story series Knights to Remember. It’s a ten book
series which only has two books left and I need to finish it so I can move on
with the three other books I have planned for release in the series following
different men. I have one full length novel finished called Dominque and I love
it. It’s my favourite book and I can’t wait to see what people think. All those
books will be out by the end of this year.
Of course, I have two full length books to write, one from my Hidden
series and the next book following on from Dalton, Believing Blue.
I’m working on an anthology with five other great ladies and I’m
mentoring them through the writing and editing stages. The finished book will
be released early 2016 and all profits are going to a yet to be decided LGBT
charity. I’m hoping it will be a great start to the authors involved and give
them a stepping stone up the ladder into going on alone.
6. What do you like to read?
Obviously mm romance lol but I also love
biographys and historical novels. I’m a big history buff and I’m moving more
into those books in mm now. I’ve found some amazing new authors. I love to
laugh and I just picked up Shopaholic Abroad by Sophie Kinsella which has had
me rolling around laughing.
7. What do you look when choosing a book to read?
It depend what mood I’m in. I have a huge varity of taste in my
books and how I feel affects what I choose. I love everything from very dark
BDSM to light and funny romantic books. I am always a sucker for a great cover
though and if one catches my eye I always look closer at the book. I like
finding new authors and I take recs from my friends.
8. What do you need someone to invent right away?
Some sort of cloning device would be nice so I had three of me to do the
amount of work I have. I’d like one for the family, one for writing and one who
could clean up the house lol If not that, then a machine which could sit on my
head and suck out all my ideas onto the page would also be awesome!!
9. What does the word "romantic" mean to you?
It can mean so much. To me it’s how a person acts with you and not others. I like to feel special and love the small things which grow more and more important the longer you’ve been in a relationship. I’ve been married for over ten years now and if you’d asked me this right at the beginning romance would be grand gestures, flowers, weekends away – now it’s how he understands me without even saying anything, how he supports me when he magically sees through my walls. It’s a random text simply saying I miss you. I don’t need gifts or huge declarations, I get those same feelings from one look from my hubby’s eyes when he smiles at me. It’s the small things in life which mean a lot to me.

10. Can you share something about your works in progress?
The next novel coming out is a standalone book in my Knights to Remember series. It’s all done and dusted and waiting to go out. I haven’t shared much about it yet, but I do have the blurb ready. I love BDSM books and sweet subs who have been injured and caring Doms are a soft spot for me. I’ve written BDSM before, but this one involves two such perfect men that it was hard not to fall in love with them both on sight.

~ Dominique ~
Before Sebastian, Secret
Pleasures had another star escort. One who was very much in demand.
Move over Sebastian, because
Dominique is back in town.
At eighteen, with no job, no
money, and a young sister to care for, becoming a male escort seemed the
perfect solution, but at the age of twenty four, Dominque is left wondering how
he can break free of his ‘short term’ solution.
When not working or caring for
his sister, Dominque found comfort in the caring BDSM community, and trust with
the Doms who opened his mind to a world he never knew existed. That trust is
stolen from him when Dominque accepts a client’s request to take part in a
scene. When the rules are ignored, it leaves him injured and fearful of ever
submitting again.
Jacob is at the top of his
profession, leaving him with no time or desire for a relationship. He enjoys
playing with the subs at his favourite club, but caring for another person full
time isn’t on his agenda. What he didn’t expect was to find someone who would
make him re-evaluate his views on life and love, and that the person should be
an escort he paid to keep him company, came as an even bigger shock.
Unable to forget the wounded
beauty after their first date, Jacob is enticed to spend more time with
Dominique, seeking to put the pain of the past behind them, and bring peace to
the tormented soul who captivated him so easily.
The Dom in him demands
exclusivity from his boy, but the fear in Dominque keeps them separated.
Working together, they create a bond, not just between Dom and sub, but between
lost souls and wounded hearts.
