Born in the heat of passion, forged in fire, and tarnished by impetuous decisions, the love that Seth and Caleb share is unstoppable.
Blurb
Seth, always the adventurous (and often, rebellious) type, decides to explore a darker side of gay culture. He attends one of the infamous “Headbangers’ Ball” parties held several times each year by a reclusive eccentric who lives in an old farmhouse on the outskirts of town.
Seth had no idea what “party favors” he’d be taking.
Seth’s love life—though “love” had nothing to do with any of it—had been quite active with regular meaningful, overnight relationships which were actually anything but relationships. Then, along comes Caleb, tumbling into Seth’s life at the party like a bull in a china shop.
Could Caleb be relationship material?
Leave it to Seth to blow things up.
Headbangers’ Ball, Book One in the Tansy Hollow Gay Romance Series, is a happily-ever-after story which has the perfect blend of action, intrigue and sex to keep you from putting it down.

Excerpt
The pizza guy watched as he filled in the tip amount. When Seth handed the slip back to him, he smiled broadly.
“Thanks, man. You just made my night!”
“No problem,” Seth replied. “You brought the food, so I think it was you who made my night.”
The pizza boy looked Seth up and down. “Wish you’d make my night some other way then.” He flashed his big smile, his “come hither” face, and turned away.
As the pizza guy eyed him, Seth suddenly remembered he wasn’t wearing anything except Caleb’s shorts. After all the shit he’d done earlier, being ogled one more time by a stranger didn’t really matter to him. The guy was totally not his type anyway.
Seth closed the door and picked up the pizzas. The small table next to the door was a thoughtful idea, very convenient for deliveries. Seemed like Caleb ordered a lot of food delivery, if his speed dial was any indication.
He brought the pizzas back to Caleb’s man cave, where he plopped down in his spot on the couch. Immediately, he opened a box and grabbed a hot slice. He took a double bite. He hadn’t realized how ravenous he was.
Caleb wasn’t in the room when Seth returned with the pizza. Seth hadn’t noticed his absence until he heard the bottles clinking from across the hall. Caleb appeared in the doorway before Seth could chew up his first bite.
“Mmm, that smells good!”
Seth couldn’t answer. Mouth full.
Caleb set a frosty bottle on the table next to the pizza box. He had another one for himself.
Seth swallowed, grabbed the beer, and swigged down a big gulp.
“Grab a slice,” he said.
“Don’t mind if I do!”
“Try not to get drunk again,” Seth warned. “Nothing good comes from that.” There was a cold seriousness in his voice. The unspoken issue—the elephant in the room—was made vividly clear. Caleb was glad when Seth didn’t mention the specifics.
Caleb sat on the couch next to Seth, lifted the box lid and took a slice for himself. He bit into it. Made an approving gruff “yummy” sound to signal his approval of both the quality of the pie and Seth’s choice of toppings.
They sat on the couch side by side, enjoying the pizza and beer. Caleb got up once to switch the music when Gravehuffer finished. They didn’t say much of anything for a while. They were just two men filling their bellies.
