I just got news that One Good Hand is being re-released from Loose-Id on Christmas Day. I'm getting all kinds of presents lately, because the story also has a brand new cover:
Nice, yeah? My very first yaoi cover, and Anne Cain did a great job with it. Ace and Spade look like they're having a helluva time.
In One Good Hand, Ace wins a man in a high-stakes poker game. That's a first for him, even though he's been gambling big—sometimes winning, sometimes losing—for years. Right now he's at the top of the food chain in a sea of sharks, and he's totally unprepared for Spade's kindness, his playful and seductive touch. I said a while back that these two are one of my favorite pairs. After starting many (and even finishing a few!) stories since OGH's first publication, I still feel that way. Ace has a perfect poker face and an attitude to match, but in seconds Spade slips in on him, intent on giving his new "master" everything he wants. It's… {happy shiver} …so much fun to watch.
If you'd like to read more about One Good Hand, you can on my website at http://www.rowanmcbride.com/stories/onegoodhand/. You can also see how they meet by reading the excerpt there. Ace in his element, Spade getting a handle on Ace. They have chemistry from second one, and it never gets old for me, no matter how many times I visit them. I guess every writer thinks that about their characters, but I'm so absentminded that I actually blank on the names of mine once in a while. I'd never forget Ace and Spade.
A reviewer at Coffee Time Romance said that "One Good Hand will definitely make a nice hot read for a cool fall night." I'm pretty sure it'll work just as well for those brisk winter nights as well.
