Synopsis
The Marie Sinclair Reader: six stories and novellas that are the perfect morsels of romance. From first times and first loves to meet cutes, sensuous seductions, and second chances, these stories are sometimes sweet, sometimes steamy, but always with an HEA.
Might Delete Later: An epically clichéd breakup leads to the cutest of meet-cutes with love at first text, delicious pastries, and the best dog face ever.
Chef’s Kiss: A sensuous seduction of wine, food, and desire turns a failed romantic dinner into a brand new chance at love.
Man Down: Unrequited love and frustration as volatile as the whitewater rapids that bring a bar owner everything he’s ever wanted with his ex-head bartender if he can only let nature run its course.
Nothing Like a Summer Romance: First loves. First times. It’s everything you could hope for in a summer romance. Maybe.
Same Old Love: A former child actor turned winemaker and a spiraling, out-of-control rock star get a second chance at the love they were never able to have.
Voir Dear: Jury duty a bore? Not when you find yourself sitting next to the guy you haven’t been able to stop thinking about since he sent your travel mug flying into traffic.

Excerpt
Prowl’s chef had outdone himself providing a feast for Jackson’s going away party, but before Corbin had a chance to fill his plate, someone stepped up behind him. They were close enough Corbin could feel the heat from their body and knew at once who it was by the way his own responded. Jackson. He turned and found the man staring at him, a grin crossing his beautiful face.
“Finally decided to join the party,” he said, that sexy-as-fuck silk-over-mahogany voice going straight to Corbin’s dick.
Corbin nodded, cleared his throat, then took an entirely too large gulp of the drink in his hand and coughed. Jackson’s grin grew broader.
“Glad to see you like my Rim Jobs,” he said. Just as Corbin raised the glass to his lips and took another mouthful, Jackson leaned in closer to whisper in Corbin’s ear. “I’m really good at them, you know.”
Only a mighty effort kept the liquid from spurting out of his mouth.
“Want to dance?”
Corbin nodded. Jackson took the glass from his hand, downed the remaining liquid in one go, and led Corbin onto the dance floor.
Holy shit, this was actually happening. Jackson pulled him close, put his arms around Corbin’s neck and began to move against Corbin’s body. He’d never been so self-conscious before, aware of every square inch that was touching Jackson and praying that his cock behaved itself.
Jackson hummed in his ear. “Come on, Cor,” he purred. “Relax. Or I’m gonna give you a Naughty Mind Fuck.”
It took a moment to register that this was Jackson’s legendary masterpiece. A ridiculous concoction that tasted like cherry-vanilla soda but was so incredibly potent, it was almost lethal.
“Not on your life,” Corbin said. “I want to remember this.” He looped his arms around Jackson’s waist and pulled him closer, which made the man sigh.
“There we go. Much better.”
Jackson’s body flowed against Corbin’s, hips moving in an intoxicating rhythm that made Corbin bite his lip to keep from moaning in frustration. Jackson was so much more than any of Corbin’s fantasies.

About the Author
Marie Sinclair is a queer writer living in San Francisco. Though she’s been a writer all her life, it wasn’t until she stumbled upon MM romance that she knew she’d found a home for herself and all the characters in her head.
Her focus is on contemporary romance, usually on the steamy side. While HEAs are guaranteed, it will always take some work for the couples to get there, and it might not look the way they expected at the beginning. As a member of the LGBTQ+ community, Marie believes in rooting her stories in the real world of queer culture and showing how love can survive even in challenging times.
