Lord of a Thousand Steps

(Love in Laguna 04)
by

Tara Lain

To architecture student Ian Carney, family means everything. Taken in by his brother, Jim, when his father threw him out at eighteen for being gay, Ian yearns to create his own family with his boyfriend, Rico. But Rico’s in Mexico caring for a sick father, Ian hasn’t had sex in a month and a half, and his gorgeous boss, Braden Lord, CEO of the architectural firm Ian interns for, is looking better and better.

Braden’s life is chaos. Just out of the closet and going through an ugly divorce from his wife of fifteen years who’s trying to take custody of his two children, he desperately resolves not to succumb to a completely inappropriate attraction to Ian—even though his kids adore both the man and his crazy cat.

When Rico proves to be a snake in the grass and Ian exercises his powers of seduction, what starts as a “friends with benefits” fling turns into real life real fast. Can Ian give up his romantic dreams for an “old guy” who didn’t come out until he carried a mountain of baggage? It’ll only take a thousand steps.

Excerpt

Braden picked up his glass and turned it in his hands. He’d been the recipient of a rebound blowjob. He slowly released his breath. Better than no blowjob at all, I guess. “I’m so sorry this happened to you.”

“Yeah. Well, maybe it’ll help me grow up and stop looking for romance on every street corner, you know? Just about the time I moved in with my brother, he fell for Ken, and I think that warped my perspective. They’re so happy. But I guess I haven’t kissed enough frogs yet.”

Braden sucked wine up his nose and gargled. “Mmft, I shall cherish my new amphibian category.” Although it kind of stung.

“Oh, hell no. That’s not what I meant.” He shook his head wildly. “Actually, you’re the antiamphibian.”

Braden laughed. “Okay, explain.”

“I mean, you’re the shoot-for-the-moon guy. The prince’s prince. But you’re so far out of my league, you won’t tempt me to hope.” He grinned. “I can be your secret blowjob guy, your fuck buddy, while you’re getting yourself out of your marriage. You won’t have to worry about some random spy photographer catching you in the throes with me. Hell, if they see us together, you have a perfect reason to be with me. Combination design mentee and babysitter.”

Braden’s head spun. This made weird sense—and gave him a bellyache. “What do you get out of it?”

“Are you kidding? Sex with the hottest dude on two feet—and a break from fairy-tale romance.”

His mouth opened—and closed. Try again. “Uh, are you sure about this?”

Ian’s grin faded. “Okay, I’m more beat-up than I’m letting on. But I really like you. If we go into this with eyes open and solemnly promise that when one of us finds a realistic boyfriend we can still work together, then I’m in. But seriously, I don’t want to jeopardize my job. I love working for Lord and Kendrick. If you think I’m kidding myself, say so.”

Kidding? Fuck, they’d both lost their minds.

7 thoughts on “Lord of a Thousand Steps by Tara Lain, Blog Tour, Character Bio, Excerpt & Giveaway!

  1. This book sounds great – I’m hearing great things about it and I’m really looking forward to reading it! I’ve loved this series!

    1. Thank you Jenn. I’ve been getting such a wonderful response. Hope you enjoy it! : )

  2. I love all the covers and excerpts from each book. I haven’t read the series yet though I do have the first three books. Thank you for the chance.

  3. I love this series. Tara Lain often makes me confront my comfort zone and this book is no different. We met Ian Carney and his cat Anderson Cooper in Knave of Broken Hearts (Love in Laguna #2) which if you haven’t read you should. This book takes place 3 years later. This is the story of Ian and his boss Braden. Braden has just come out of the closet. He is going through an ugly divorce from a bitter woman and is trying to keep his relationship with his two kids from hitting the skids. The relationship between these two starts off awkwardly and takes some time and effort. There is the age difference and the children and the power exchange at work. The author somehow resolves these issues to my satisfaction by the end of the book

  4. I can’t wait until the audio book comes out to add it to my collection. The Love in Laguna series actually gets better when you listen to it because of the awesome way Tara writes dialogue.
