I’ve been asked frequently what books I
suggest for winter reading. The Zero, Ohio series comes to mind. Why? Well, the
books are all hot. I’m not going to lie. There is a heavy dose of sex appeal in
these stories. But there’s more than just hot sex. There is a romantic element.
Zero isn’t just a town full of horny guys trying to hook up. These are guys
trying to find their forever partners. That’s what makes this series the
hottest for me. I get to watch these men bumble, misfire and goof-up along the
way to finding their partner. There are sweeter elements to the romance and
searing hot moments shared. These four stories in my part of the series will
definitely steam the screen. Why don’t you try one or all of them?
Here’s a little bit
about the series:
Saving Sam by Megan Slayer
Zero, Ohio, Book 2
**An AllRomance Ebooks Bestseller**
Give up his
dream or go for exactly what he wants?
Sam
Grau never planned on seeing his former best friend again. One-night stands
worked well enough to ease his heartache and loneliness...except he wanted
more. He’s got a choice—chase his dreams or the man he loves. He can’t have
both.
Josh
Thomas never gave up on finding the one man who understood him down to the
cellular level. He walked away once, but not a second time. He’s willing to
sacrifice his heart and pride to show his quirky friends the men they’ve both
become, all in the name of saving Sam.

* * *
For these
two men, this record could be the soundtrack to their lives – if they’re
willing to mix things up.
Meticulous and organized, air traffic
controller Mike Larson has every reason to be wary of mixing his passion for

personality rocks his orderly world. Can he risk a step outside his comfort
zone for a chance with Leon?
Flamboyant Leon Sanders uses attitude to
keep others at a distance, because he doesn’t believe in love or a lasting
relationship. When he turns up the charm at his music store Vintage Vinyl, he
makes the best sales. Something about the quiet man beckons Leon to give love a
chance, but does he dare mix it up with Mike?

the place you most want to be.

lonely. He wants to find that one special person to warm his nights and love
him—tattoos and all. Will he or end up alone again or will the hunk at the
Eight Ball bar be his saving grace?

of. He’s looking for redemption, but not
in the hands of a former star. If he can stay in the shadows, he’s happy, but
lonely. The man singing at the bar has his full attention. He wants to wrap himself
up in the guy’s strong arms. Will he be able to open up and offer his heart or
will the truth destroy everything he holds dear? It’s a matter of catching
Cary.
Redeeming Raygan
by Megan Slayer
Zero, Ohio Book 5
Zero, Ohio,
where the temperatures might be below freezing but you can always melt the frost with smoking hot sex.
Two rough
endings can equal one hot beginning.
Raygan Mason is done with love. After
plenty of failed relationships, he wants nothing of the emotion. He’s broken
inside and believes he’s not worthy of redemption …until he meets a man named
after a car. Then his structured, but closed off world gets turned upside down.
Jamie “Jeep” Grusin isn’t big on love,
either. Fresh out of a marriage filled with cheating and lies, he’s not looking
for another partner. The writer wants a fresh start and is told Zero will cure
what ails him. He’s not convinced …until he ends up at Eight Ball bar.
Can two men who think they are totally
wrong for each other find out that redemption and a new start is so right?
And now for that excerpt!
He drove nearly the length of the main
street before he spotted the bar. The gigantic eight ball wasn’t lit, but there
were lights on within the building.
“This must be the place. Jeep pulled into
the parking lot, then stopped. He grabbed his wallet, phone and notebook. He
refused to be anywhere without a paper and pen.
The bell dinged as he headed into the
bar. Two men stood behind the counter.
“Sorry, buddy,” the black-haired man
said. “We’re closed.”
The taller man shrugged. “Bobby, lock the
main door. We can go out the back when we’re done. One patron won’t hurt
anything, but I don’t want a group coming in.” The man turned his attention to
Jeep. “What’ll you have?”
“Uh—” He’d always known what to say in
every situation, but not now. Looking at the brown-haired man twisted Jeep’s
tongue. He shook his head to clear his thoughts. “Which one of you has a place
for me to stay?” Holy shit. What an unintentional come-on!
Both men froze. Jeep knew exactly what
he’d said and wished he could’ve taken it back. He scratched his forehead.
Shit. He needed to unlearn that bad habit. Still, the nervous gesture gave him
time to think.
“I meant, I’m new in town and need a
place to rent for the next few nights. My publisher, Nelson Vickers, told me
someone here has a place for me to stay. I need it while I’m writing.”
“You must be looking for Sam,” the
black-haired man said. “He’s got half a duplex.”
“Yeah.” Jeep nodded. “Him. Which one of
you are him?” Hopefully the taller guy was the man he needed to see. He
wouldn’t mind spending some quiet time with the handsome man.
“Neither. This is Bobby and my name is
Raygan. Sam, the one you’re looking for, works at the community center. It’s
closed now, but I’d be willing to bet he’ll help you in the morning.” Raygan
placed a coaster on the bar top. “Want a beer?”

And here’s
a little bit more about me!
When she's not writing the stories in
her head, Megan Slayer can be found luxuriating in her hot tub with her two
vampire Cabana boys, Luke and Jeremy. She has the tendency to run a tad too far
with her muse, so she has to hide in the head of her alter ego, but the boys
don't seem to mind.
When she’s not obsessing over her whip
collection, she can be found picking up her kidlet from school. She enjoys
writing in all genres, but writing about men in love suits her fancy best. The cabana boys are willing to serve, unless she needs
them. She always need them. So be nice to Javier or he will
bite--on command.
She
also masquerades under the name Wendi Zwaduk and is published through many
places including Decadent Publishing.
