Molly Burkhart’s My Gigolo

In case the name doesn’t give it away, Molly really is my sister, and her debut novel My Gigolo releases from Samhain today. I’ll have an interview with her later today, but first, let me tell you a little of the background about how this book came to be.
So there we were, standing in my kitchen talking about our good friend Jenna’s recent short story that had been included in the MILF anthology (as Anna Black), which included an older heroine hiring a male prostitue for the night. I made a joke, like “Hey….! Mom’s always bugging you to date, so maybe I should hire you a gigolo! Your birthday’s just around the corner!”
Molly snorted and made some crack about where would I even find a gigolo around here? The more we talked and laughed, the more the idea began to firm in her mind.
My Gigolo is the result.
If you like quirky romance with fun characters in an unusual contemporary romance, check out Molly’s My Gigolo: The Care and Feeding of a Male Prostitue. Bonus: a pirate mini-golf course!
When a good man is hard to find, there’s only one thing left to do. Buy one.
As far as Gabrielle is concerned, her life isn’t at all a mess. It’s simply taught her a hard lesson-never rely on anyone else for her own happiness. It’s not that she’s against having sex. Far from it. It’s just that if it comes with strings tied to the word “love”, she’ll pass.
Now if only she could stop her sister and friends from trying to show her the error of her solitary ways. Especially after their latest trick-hiring a male prostitute for her birthday.
In all his time as a male escort, Jack’s never met anyone as intriguing as down-to-earth Gabe. Or as determined to refuse his charms. She has no idea whom she’s dealing with, though. Jack’s a consummate professional in all aspects of his chosen field. Including coercion.
One minute, Gabe is agreeing to a night of no-strings sex. The next, she’s staring up at a man who turns her body and soul inside out. Jack is staring down at a woman he can’t imagine never seeing again. Both are suddenly aware there are only two ways this could end: a match made in heaven…or sheer disaster.
Warning: Explicit sex, illegal sexual practices, zombies, a clown, and the strangest minigolf course ever conceived.
