This is a sort of yaoi, steampunkish fantasy story. Takes place in a world where there are judges ordained by the god of justice who can hear truth. There’s also a drug called ‘hextasy’ that will kill you unless you have sex with the person you most desire.
BLURB:
Rynn made a mistake in taking the drug hextasy with his fiancée. It was supposed to be the ultimate sexual high, except that you have to sleep with the one you desire most. If you don’t, your body won’t be satisfied and you’ll die. Rynn lived, Lynnette didn’t, and now her parents want someone to pay. Either luck or Surseine, the god of justice Himself, takes pity on Rynn by putting his trial in front of one of His judges. Sursei are graced by the god they represent with the power to see truth and Sursei Shasertai finds Rynn innocent of murder.
But the drug is still out there and Shasertai and the people who travel with him are determined to root out the drug lord responsible for its existence. Shas invites Rynn to join them. He goes willingly, fascinated by the judge who gave him a second chance at life.
Rynn might be innocent and straight, but Shas isn’t. He’s gay, happily so, and very much drawn to the farm boy whose simple innocence is a balm to one who can hear through the lies. What he hears is that Rynn’s not gay, so he vows not to get involved. Until another drug, another time, gets in the way…and then he and Rynn will have to deal with the each other’s truths and their growing attraction.

You know that besides Heaven Sent, your yaoi stuff is my favorite!!!! Yaoi=happy
Thanks! I hope this one will be fun too
I love the yaoi you write. Can’t wait for more.
Another Yaoi series? *counting pennies* You’re trying to make me poor aren’t you. You know I can’t resist your books. *hugs*

The cover is yummy and I can’t wait to dive beneath the covers.
I’ve never read any yaoi or steampunk type books but I guess I’m going to because I have yet to read anything by you that I didn’t like. (Though I admit to not yet reading the Heaven Sent series but that’s just because I don’t have them all yet… but I will.) The cover having caught my attention right away had me very interested but the story sounds very original. I’ll be looking forward to it.
I don’t know that I was completely faithful to the steampunk feel. We’ll have to see what the reaction is. Fans of deep science will not enjoy the book.
Thanks! I do hope you like it

Is this the beginning of a series? I seem to recall that I saw that somewhere but now that I read it (just tonight and *really* enjoyed it, thank you!) I can’t remember.
I’ve become a huge fan in a low key non-stalkerish way…..
I hope to have at least one more book in the series. Colt deserves a story, I think.
thanks! glad you liked it
Loved this one. Colt does deserve a story. Maybe one for Harmon as well? Still waters and all that. Looking forward to hearing what the boys get up to next in their attempts to put a stop to the hex trade.
Harmon? Gee, haven’t thought about him but that could be possible.
thanks! glad you liked it
Loved this book, I end up finding myself staying up late to re-read the scene when um… (whisper) That part in that place with the hextasy (winkwink). lol, def need more stories for the boys… and maybe the sister too? <3
