Book Blurb:
James failed.
He tried to be what they wanted.
He tried to deny it.
He tried to be a good Catholic boyâŠbut itâs become too much.
He craves pain, submission.
Heâs denied himself far too long, and itâs eating him alive.
Charles thrives off the exchange of power. He knows the world revolves around control. Itâs given and taken like currency, in business and in pleasure. He wonât get attached, though, or so he tells himself, until James turns his world upside down. Heâs defiant and snarky, but Charles can taste the submission on him.
Charles holds the key to his salvation but James has to Say Yes.
What are other authors saying about Say Yes?

Excerpt :
âItâs a good thing I never lose.â He turned away, with astute arrogance which couldnât be faked. It took years of Upper East Side inbreeding to obtain the level of innate sophistication, above even the level of wealth James had been raised with.
âMaybe this will be the first time,â even as James said the words he wanted to swallow them back.
âI donât think so.â Charlesâs voice was almost sing-songy.
âCocky dick,â James muttered under his breath, not loud enough for Charles to hear him, or so he thought.
âI think you need a little bit of this dick.â He kept getting further away, and James felt like he was losing him.
âCome back here.â
âWell since you asked so nicely.â He flashed him a wink and stalked in close, like the last twenty minutes hadnât happened. He lifted a hand and placed it at the base of Jamesâ neck.
âNot here.â James glanced around. No one was looking, but they were still so exposed, which seemed an absurd idea considering where they were, but he couldnât bring himself to do itâyet.
Yet? Where had that idea come from? James was reeling. Heâd never even given in to the temptation of fucking a man, and now he was considering submitting to one in public. He must have lost his damn mind.
Charles fisted a hand in his shirt. âTell me where?â
The look in his eyes made his knees weak. âWhoâs the dominant here?â
Charles tightened his grip on Jamesâ throat. The pressure wasnât suffocating, but arousing, owningâpossessive even. Heâd never felt so turned on in his life. The next morning heâd
expect to find bruises.
âI want you, and Iâm going to have you.â Charlesâ voice had dropped so low, James could barely hear it.
Author Bio:
When not staying up all night writing, J.R. Gray can be found at the gym where it's half assumed he is a permanent resident to fulfill his self-inflicted masochism. A dominant and a pilot, Gray finds it hard to be in the passenger seat of any car. He frequently interrupts real life, including normal sleep patterns and conversations, to jot down notes or plot bunnies. Commas are the bane of his existence even though it's been fully acknowledged they are necessary, they continue to baffle and bewilder. If Gray wasn't writingâŠwell, that's not possible. The buildup of untold stories would haunt Gray into an early grave, insanity or both. The idea of haunting has always appealed to him. J.R. Gray is genderqueer and prefers he/him pronouns.
