Rip Cord Book One & Two

The Reunion
Gil Davis hated high school. Ever the geek, he has no intentions of attending his 10th year class reunion. The last thing he wants is to relive the taunting and teasing he received during his teenage years. However there is one thing he misses from high school: the star Varsity football player. The one he had a crush on from the first day he laid eyes on him.

But the last thing he expects is the now pro football player to come back to their home town to attend a lame high school reunion. Known as the Bad Boy of the NFL, Ripley “Rip” Cord, not only shows up, but shows up without a date and an eye for Gil.

Note: The Reunion was originally published in November 2009 by Phaze Books. It has been re-edited and bundled here with The Weekend.

The Weekend
Geek extraordinaire Gil Davis hooked up with his long-time crush Rip Cord, the Bad Boy of the NFL, during their tenth year class reunion. It was a dream come true for Gil, so when Rip surprises Gil with a trip to the pro football player’s cabin on the lake two weeks later, Gil looks forward to their weekend alone. Since Rip is still deep in the closet due to his career, Gil will take any stolen moments they have. Little does Gil know, those moments will be filled with a blindfold and ropes, as well as a bad tumble down the mountain.

But a few bumps and bruises won’t stop Gil from spending precious time with Rip and his toys. However when the weekend ends, will Rip disappear again? Or will Rip want to take their relationship to the next level?

The Reunion & The Weekend Excerpt:
Ripley “Rip” Cord was just as tall as Gil remembered. Around five inches taller than him, not that Gil was a squirt. The football player was at least six foot two.

And every inch of him was muscle. Not lean muscle, but heavy muscle. Heavy, rounded, lickable muscle.

Gil glanced at Katie. “You’re drooling.”

Katie wiped her mouth with the back of her hand. “As if you aren’t.”

Gil snagged her wrist and backpedaled until he rammed into something hard. It was the table with the place settings.

Gil peered over Katie’s shoulder to see if his klutziness had caught Rip’s attention.

Luckily it hadn’t. The man was completely surrounded by their old classmates clamoring for his attention.

Throughout the years, he’d followed Rip’s career in the newspapers, on the evening news, on ESPN.

And in the tabloids.

Rip was well-known. Unfortunately it was as the “bad boy” of the National Football League. He started out with a great career in the NFL, drafted straight out of college. He was one of the best wide receivers in the league, but it was all his rumored problems that kept him in the spotlight, not his stats.

And that famous wide receiver was here. Now.

The Ever After
by Jeanne St. James
Rip Cord Book Three

Rip Cord, the infamous Bad Boy of the NFL, ends up on Gil Davis’ front porch drunk as a skunk. Not only has he been fired by his franchise, but also his sports agent. His last brawl on the football field during a prime time game was the final straw.

Accounting geek Gil Davis hasn’t seen his on-again, off-again lover since the summer when the professional football player whisked him away for a kinky sex-filled getaway weekend. But immediately after, Rip returned to the NFL and was on the road leaving no time for Gil.
 Now Rip wants to come back into Gil’s life one more time, this time to not only make a future with him, but to finally admit who he really is deep down inside. After hiding his sexual preference since he was a teen, Rip realizes he’s made too many bad choices along the way. It’s time to make the right choice with Gil.


But is Gil ready to forgive Rip for keeping him at a distance? And more importantly, after two false starts, can they finally live happily ever after?

The Ever After Excerpt:
“Is the coffee helping?”

On the surface her question sounded caring, but the pointed gaze and the tightly crossed arms told him otherwise.

“Yeah. I’m drunk and awake now.”

“Good. So…why are you here?” She pursed her lips stubbornly. She wasn’t leaving without some answers. The sooner he answered, the sooner she would skedaddle.

He blew across the hot liquid before taking another sip. “For Gil.”

“For Gil, or for you?” Her gaze was unwavering as she waited for his answer. Her left index finger was beating a pattern into her right bicep. Tap, tap, tap. Tick tock. Tick tock. Ding. Time’s up.

“I just told you.”

“Well, I think you’re here for yourself because you’re a selfish shit. You need to stop playing with his emotions. You hear me?”

Rip winced. Holy hellion. “I’m not.”

“Oh, you are. You need to man up and either be with Gil or leave him the hell alone. He’s not your boy toy. You can’t just take him out to play when you want to.”

Is that what she thought he was doing? Shit. Did Gil see it like that? “I don’t mean to—”

“Bullshit. I wish I’d never talked him into going to his class reunion. He didn’t want to go, you know. I made him.”

Rip grimaced. “I know.”

“He had a crush on you, and you opened the door to more. Between that night and the weekend at the cabin—”

“I never meant—”

“Listen Mister I’m-a-famous-wide-receiver-for-the-NFL, you knew exactly what you were doing.”

“For your information, I feel the same way about him as he does me.”

“Right.” Katie laughed bitterly. “You do know Gil loves you, right?”

Rip glanced at her, eyes wide. “He… does?”

Sure. Gil has feelings for him. Hell, he has feelings for Gil. But love?

“Of course he does, you shit. How could you not notice? Oh, that’s right, you’re a thick-headed football player that only cares about himself.”

“I care about Gil.”

“Then why don’t you act like it?”

Rip turned away from her and put an arm over his face. “I don’t know,” he muttered.

He was sick to his stomach. Not only from the over indulging but from what Katie said.

He’d never cared for anyone before. Never. His mom had died when he was young, and his pop had been a complete asshole. And, fuck, he did not want to end up like him. Unfortunately, he seemed to be headed down that same path.

First as being deemed The Bad Boy of the NFL—not without good reason—and now with Gil. He never meant to hurt Gil. He liked Gil. He always had. Even in high school. Yeah, so they hadn’t been actual “friends” because they ran in different circles. Gil with the geek squad and Rip with the jocks. But that was normal high school shit. Right?

He had never picked on Gil in high school like the other students had. No, it wasn’t just being picked on. It was downright bullying. The night of their tenth-year class reunion, Gil had asked Rip why he hadn’t ever come to his rescue. Rip’s lame answer was that he’d had a reputation to uphold. He was the captain of the varsity team. He was a jock. It was a bullshit excuse and he had apologized, of course. But it came too late for high school. However, here he was again…trying to live up to his reputation of being a badass pro football player.

And look where that got him…

Sobering up in his gay lover’s house. The lover whom he’d been ignoring because Rip was too much of a damn coward to come out of the closet and be his true self.

That’s because he always had to hide who he really was. Always.

All he’d known most of his life was how to be a good football player.

And now he didn’t even have that.

He emptied the mug and handed it back to Katie. “Thanks…and sorry.”

Katie pushed to her feet. “You’re apologizing to the wrong person.”

She beat feet out of the bedroom and slammed the door shut behind her.

Fuck.

The Bad Boy of NFL
was no longer.

Now he was just a fuck up.
