Gabriel Sinclair, a rich family's unwanted bastard, has only known poverty for most of his young life. With his unwed mother's disgrace known in their community, he only has one friend, Joshua. A black boy. Things change when Gabriel inherits an entire plantation - including its slaves. He welcomes the challenge of running the plantation but it's not easy being surrounded by beautiful black men all the time. For while Gabriel can free them from slavery, he can't free them from himself But Gabriel's heart only belongs to Joshua. . As a wealthy man with the world at his feet, Gabriel is ready to tell Joshua he loves him. But is Joshua even interested in another boy? Joshua offers his body to Gabriel, after all, Gabriel saved him and his family from poverty. But Joshua also tells Gabriel he wants to get married and have a family of his own - things Gabriel cannot give him. But Gabriel can hope, can't he? This is Gabriel's story...from poverty to extreme wealth, from friend to lover, from plantation owner to Congress. *Gay, interracial, historical romance for mature audiences. Sample: "To put it in layman's terms, Mr. Sinclair, Mrs. Sinclair, on the death of your uncle," looking at Gabriel, "Your husband," looking at the woman, "He has willed that the plantation and all its assets automatically become the property of the oldest living male of the family. Mr. Gabriel Sinclair is that person as you, Mrs. Sinclair, have no children. "I'm the new owner, Josh; my uncle died and I'm the sole surviving male." Josh was goggle eyed, and it got even better for him. "Your whole family is to come to the plantation to live. Mother will employ your mother in the house, I will employ your father, and the kids will be educated as well."Josh couldn't take it all in, his best friend, his only white friend was going to be his savior. He knew he would do anything for Gabriel now. What he didn't realise was what the anything would entail. "We have so much to do, Josh, it would be good to be able to talk in bed as well." Josh wasn't stupid. "Will that be in between kisses and whatever else you have planned?" He was grinning and Gabriel was as well, before getting very serious. "I've never felt I could say this before, Josh, but now I can. I love you..." "I love you, Gabriel, and I'll do that as often as you want, but know I want to marry and have children."

Come inside my struggling spiritual world. In God & Odd: Something Weird is Happening on My Way to Spirituality you'll find 85 short essays that share insights, humor, setbacks, questions, solutions and struggles as I zigzag my way toward God. What would the Apostle Paul say if he knew my local church? Why did raking leaves remind me of God? How is it that facts are not always the truth? How would Dr. Suess have written about the Crucifixion? Why can't we ever sing Ray Charles in church? These are among the world-shattering questions that wrestle me to the ground (I relate to you, Jacob.) You see, God's always speaking. I'm still learning to listen. Through these reflections on my spiritual journey you may gain some wisdom on how to avoid pitfalls that I've endured. But here's my confession. Any glimpses of truth, touches of compassion or moments of laughter aren't from me. The rich and fertile parts are from Him. So He has me present you with an antidote to gossip. He lets the Christian buried deep inside me scream for help. He reveals the four stages of parenthood. God tells me what stores the mall would have if it was truly His mall. Please enjoy. Think. And inch forward toward Him. He's calling you.
