Without further ado - I give you - the Family Time Anthology out from Torquere today. You can also purchase my story Life Happens separately.
Here's the blurb:
Dominic Antonelli and his boyfriend Kit Thomas have been together for over four years, and Dominic thinks it's time to make things official. He plans for an elaborate proposal, including a quiet dinner for two and a romantic evening at Kit's favorite place, the local aquarium. When the weather refuses to cooperate and his car breaks down, Dominic knows the night can't get any worse. That is, until his fourteen-year-old daughter, supposedly at a friend's house to study, calls distraught and drunk.
With his night in shambles, Dominic considers throwing in the towel. After all that has happened, surely Kit wouldn't want to tie himself to their messy little family unit. But caught up in his grand plan, Dominic has forgotten there is more to being a family than a piece of paper and a circle of gold.
Here is the ADORABLE cover:
And here is a special release day Excerpt for all of you <3333
The timer dinged startling Dominic out of his thoughts. He plated the paella and went back out to the dining room to join Kyla and Kit. Kyla had her head down but Dominic could see the red hue to her skin. Concerned, he glanced at Kit who winked at him and something inside him settled.
"So." He looked at Kyla, who turned her brown eyes to his. "Tell us about school."
"Dad," she said, rolling her eyes in exasperation. "School was fine. Same old same old. You should ask Kit about his day." Her eyes lit up in excitement. "He said someone came in with an axe in his chest! He said they had to take about five different x-rays because he just couldn't see how the guy was still alive. It was the most amazing thing, right, Kit?" She turned, giving Kit her brightest smile.
Kit laughed, the rich sound filling the room and Dominic catalogued every aspect about the man in front of him. His light brown colored skin, dark brown eyes, bright white teeth spreading into a wide smile that showed the dimples in his cheeks. The cream-colored Henley he wore clung to his chest and biceps leaving little to the imagination.
"Ahem," Kit cleared his throat, quirking an eyebrow at Dominic.
"Gross," Kyla said, rolling her eyes. "Dad, do you have to drool over Kit at the table? Come on, yuck." She grimaced but then ruined the effect when she obviously couldn't help cracking a smile at their affection for each other.
"Hmm, I don't know." Dominic set his fork down and waggled his eyes at Kit. "I could go drool ON him. Would that be better?"
Kyla mimed gagging and pushed her empty plate away. She slumped in her chair and rubbed her belly. "Ugh, Dad, don't make me sick. That paella was yummo and I would hate to lose it." She shot him a steely eyed glare.
Laughing, Dominic held his hands up in surrender. "Okay. You win. Take your plate into the kitchen and go finish your homework. And don't--" He pointed at her. "Don't tell me you already did because I know you have a paper due at the end of the week and a math test on Monday. I expect to see a rough draft before you go to bed and hear that you spent at least thirty minutes studying your math. Or no phone."
