“So you are.” Zavier grinned. “And I’m wearing yours.”
“So—friends with benefits it is?”
Once more, Zavier’s laughter filled the room. “How about husbands with the very best of benefits?” He pulled Ray into a kiss that ignited the heat in his blood.
“I can live with that,” Ray murmured against Zavier’s mouth.
“Forever?” Zavier’s eyes were bluer than the notes from any of Twisted Wishes’s songs.
“And ever,” Ray said.
His love and Zavier’s passion. Together, they’d set the world on fire.

Stay tuned for the next book about Twisted Wishes, COUNTERPOINT!
Acknowledgments
As always, I have Lori Witt to thank for being a sounding board and alpha reader and my best friend. All of my books owe her a little piece of thanks. In addition, my agent, Jennifer Udden, has kept me sane through career changes and self-doubt. She remains my constant advocate.
Many thanks also to Angela James for bringing me into the Carina fold and to Mackenzie Walton for making this book shine brighter than I could have ever managed on my own.
And to Elyse Springer, for her friendship and support.
Most of all, thank you to all of my readers and fans. I’m always amazed and touched by you and your support.
