Ruby Bird (The Flight Book 1)

In an attempt to find a soft place to lick his wounds after learning his wife has been having an affair, fantasy erotica writer Ruben runs into his long lost best friend Paul, a free-spirited artist on a road trip to celebrate his life and prepare for his demise following an alleged terminal cancer diagnosis. The jilted fool joins him on his journey as old feelings sprout anew, and a whirlwind romance leads them into a series of graphic trysts that explore Ruben's sexual nature, cement their bond and unknowingly reveal a traumatic aspect of Paul's past.

my pride and joy, Ruby Bird is the first novel in my series The Flight.
