About this ebook
THIS IS SERIALIZED FICTION: (6 Episodes)
EPISODE FIVE: Sid Rivers is now in the hands of an enemy. Jack Brown must decide how much he's willing to let Sid suffer while he and his crew continue to hunt for his elusive prey. Larry thinks it's time to make his move and take the firm, while Jeffrey Marn decides to show all of them how he became a master of the legal game.
SERIES: 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.

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.

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 which 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 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.

About the Author
Chapter 1
The secret cell phone of a Dallas executive rang. It was earlier in the day than the usual call, so he knew there was a problem even before he found his key and fished the phone from his desk. Yes?
There may be a complication,
Manard Croft informed the man on the other end of the line.
Irritation crossed the features of the executive. You get paid to handle complications, Mr. Croft.
A momentary pause filled the line. I wanted you to be aware.
Consider me informed. Good day.
The line went dead and Croft pulled the phone away from his ear, just a small tick in the corner of his eye betraying his emotions. He dialed a second number.
A woman answered. Yes?
It’s proceeding exactly as you expected.
Excellent. Thank you for the update, Manard.
Ma’am,
Croft replied before he clicked off. He slipped the phone into his pocket, a slight smile on his face.
Chapter 2
Shit. It looks like someone already got to him. His face is all fucked up.
The voice dragged Sid slowly back to consciousness. His thoughts were jumbled. He remembered his bout with Jack at the dojo. He recalled sex at the hotel afterward. He’d gone home. After that… He drew a blank.
A slap jolted his eyes open. He
