    L. Rhodes, award-winning and best-selling author of gay fiction. Now merged together in one paperback volume, readers can enjoy the first two parts of Jesse McIntyre's and Robert Bauer's love story! Passion As the owner and CEO of his own company, Robert Bauer has spent the past fifteen years building his business into a multi-million-dollar corporation. It's taken all his time and energy, which hasn't left much room for a personal life, especially a love life. That's fine with Robert because he doesn't believe in the 'L word' anyway. Lately, however, every time he goes to his favorite bar, he can't keep his eyes and thoughts off Jesse McIntyre, the gorgeous bartender with the soulful blue eyes. Even though Robert's not looking for a relationship, and tries to shake the attraction, he can't get the younger man out of his system. There's just one problem...he believes Jesse's straight. Jesse's been on the run from his old life for the past two and a half years. Even though he slings drinks at a gay bar, he has a hard and fast rule about never hooking up with customers. He's been down that road before, and though his physical wounds have healed, the emotional ones aren't so easy to forget. He lets his customers assume he's straight because it makes it easier to keep his distance. That is, until the businessman with the sexy smile starts coming into the bar. Jesse's drawn to Robert, even though he knows there's no way a wealthy, powerful man like that would ever be interested in a tattooed, college drop-out bad boy like him. But even if Robert weren't his opposite, it wouldn't matter anyway, because Jesse's determined not to break his rules for anyone. When fate throws them together, and they find themselves alone for a weekend, the passion that has silently simmered for months ignites a firestorm that leaves them both shaken. Will it be enough, though, to convince Robert, who's sworn to never fall in love, that he might be pushing away the best thing that's ever happened to him? Or to force Jesse to face his fears once and for all and learn to trust his heart? Satisfaction Five months later, though the fire's still burning sinfully hot between Robert and Jesse, the realities of their opposite lifestyles begin to take a toll. Robert's constant business travel weighs heavily on Jesse. When he realizes they're having more phone sex than real sex, and he's sleeping alone the majority of the time despite the fact he and Robert are supposedly living together, he worries there's more behind Robert's trips than just business. Jesse's sure Robert's avoiding him, avoiding them, but through the years his lover has built so many thick, protective walls to guard his emotions, Jesse finds it tough to get past them and discover why. He loves the man like crazy, and doesn't doubt Robert loves him, too, yet will love be enough to overcome whatever is haunting Robert and heal the rift that's slowly tearing them apart?
