    About this ebook

    THIS IS SERIALIZED FICTION (6 Episodes)

    Sid Rivers and Jack Brown are two sides of the same coin. One is a lawyer with his own firm and dreams of money and power; the other is a criminal with a lengthy record and a quest for vengeance. When they meet, sparks fly. But was their meeting an accident? Or was it planned by the billionaires who want to control their destiny?

    The Love of Wicked Men is an erotic journey into the underbelly of the legal profession, the corporate culture of profit-at-any-cost, and the secret world of industrial espionage.

    IN THIS EPISODE:
    Sid begins to formulate a strategy to destroy the Phillips Marn legal firm while Jack tries to figure out how to insert himself into Sid’s life. But outside forces are watching both men closely, just waiting for them to take the bait. Will they? Or will Sid’s lust for power and Jack’s quest for revenge thwart such carefully laid plans and push them apart?

    Brandon Shire

    Great stories should not depend on gender or sexual preference of a character, but instead upon the strength of the characters and the honesty and urgency of the story.Brandon Shire proves he understands the complexity of writing LGBT fiction from two very different viewpoints – serious and smexy. His serious fiction is written for those who enjoy a book which explores life’s darker elements in a more literary form, while the smexy fiction is for those who enjoy a graphically erotic romance.Regardless of the differentiation above, Brandon writes for people who enjoy being challenged, and for those who strive to understand situations they don’t typically encounter. He pens raw, emotional stories about characters which readers will either love or love to hate.Life and love are pretty damned special, but neither is always perfect. Life can be painful, and real love hard to find. Brandon’s fiction is an exploration of the (sometimes) arduous search for the happiness we all desire.BRANDON SHIRE was chosen as a Top Read in 2011, Best in LGBTQ Fiction for 2011 & 2012, and won a Rainbow Award for Best Gay Contemporary Fiction.

      Hmmm. I think one risk for this novel is in making the characters too clever. I think when you make people ruthless, you have to give them a weakness. Characters with too much power are hard to enjoy reading about.

      I was puzzled by the interaction between Larry and Richard too. The exhortation of true love didn't mesh with what appeared to be a pretty blatant lack of respect.

    About Wicked Men

    Sid Rivers and Jack Brown are two sides of the same coin. One is a lawyer with his own firm and dreams of money and power; the other is a criminal with a lengthy record and a quest for vengeance. When they meet, sparks fly. But was their meeting an accident? Or, was it planned by the billionaires who want to control their destiny?

    The Love of Wicked Men is an erotic journey into the underbelly of the legal profession, the corporate culture of profit-at-any-cost, and the secret world of industrial espionage.

    IN EPISODE ONE:

    We learned that Sid Rivers accepted a contract to destroy a legal firm one hundred times the size of his own firm. Sid thinks he’s about to realize a dream he’s held since childhood – unlimited wealth and unlimited power. But there are other forces at play which could destroy Sid in an instant.

    Jack Brown robbed the local Shop-n-Go just to put himself in Sid Rivers’ path. He knows more about Sid than anyone else, and he plans on using every bit of the information he has to exact revenge on Sid’s new masters.

    Note from the Author

    THIS IS A WORK OF SERIALIZED FICTION

    As with most writers, my time is squeezed by the realities of modern life. I’ve decided to offer Wicked Men as a series of short episodes. This will enable me to focus on each section of the story and offer it to you faster than I could if I simply published the entire book at one time.

    Also, in serializing, I am giving my readers the opportunity to help write the story with me.

    From the beginning, I never know how a story will turn out. I have an idea how it might end, but nothing is ever set in permanent ink. The development of characters, beta input, the muse, my mood, the amount of time I have for writing and research, they all affect the final outcome of a story. But this time I want to invite you into my writing process and into the world of Wicked Men. Be aware that the characters are not particularly nice people. They are vain, corrupt, contemptuous, and look down on almost everyone around them because of their wealth and power. I invite you to help me teach them a lesson in humility.

    You can offer your input at any of my online profiles, but the easiest place would probably be on my Goodreads Group. We have a special NSFW section set up just for the Wicked Men.

    DON’T LIKE SERIAL BOOKS?

    Some readers hate cliffhangers and serialized books. If that’s you, I have a solution. Keep reading...

    THE PLAN

    You will meet many characters within these pages, not all of them will be fully developed until later in the story. Expect that they will have secrets and hidden sides we don’t know of yet. I’m still exploring them myself, but you may see them first. (If so, let me know.)

    The plan is to release a new episode of Wicked Men every six to eight weeks. But don’t hold me to that strict schedule. If I know my readers, they will have plenty to say, and I’d like a fair chance to incorporate your input into the manuscript. If it takes a few extra weeks for an episode to come out because your input just blew me away, then I’m going to make sure it gets into the final product. Like you, I like a good meaty story with unexpected twists.

    The complete series (Season One) will be approximately six episodes in total, but that is not set in stone. It could be less. That depends on you. When Season One is finished, I’ll put it all together for those who like the entire story in one book.

    If you prefer to read Wicked Men when the Season One is complete:

    Sign up here [http://eepurl.com/5Lqm9] for a one-time email to let you know when the complete e-book is ready for download.

    SEASON TWO

    I don’t know if there will be a Season Two. That will be completely up to you as well. I can see some of these characters moving on to different adventures, perhaps many of them. But it will all depend on whether you want the story to continue. You’ll have to let me know. If Season Two does become a reality, it will follow the same format as Season One and, once again, I’ll be asking for your input.

    Chapter 1

    On Monday morning, Larry Dunn looked across the breakfast nook and met Richard’s eyes. It was those same warm, pecan colored eyes that had melted and won his heart when they first met. But now they were vexed, as they usually were when discussing Larry’s partnership with Sid Rivers.
