About the Authors



Introduction

There is nothing more passionate than a first-time sexual encounter that catches the participant completely by surprise. I know I love to read about lovers consumed by the unexpected power of lust and emotion. So I was thrilled when we decided to do an entire anthology around this theme of overwhelming passion among men, because what could be hotter to read?
The results were sizzling and amazingly creative, with lots of variations on what you might think is a pretty simple theme.
In these pages you’ll find some of your favorite RR authors—Ryan Field’s young innocent and his hot boss in Making Up for Lost Time and Cecelia Tan’s interesting take on aging actors in Improvisation. There’s a story about and an artist and his model, a professor and his student, lawyers in love (always one of my favorites because they are so overwhelmed), seminary students, and a number of childhood friends who realize just how much they mean to each other. There’s even some possibly paranormal activity amongst ancient stones and one outer-space pairing. And Konrad Deire’s Playing Rachmaninoff in My Heart is wonderfully romantic and European. Jefferson closes this anthology with Old Roads, a truly poignant story of old first love that you will never forget.
So please lie back and enjoy, and remember the very first time you kissed a boy. This anthology certainly did that for me!
