For those of you who love short
stories, the 1Night Stand series is very popular. You get an exciting setting,
two great lead characters, steamy sex and a HFN. But as with all HFNs, readers
want to know what happens next! Well in my book Bear
it All, you meet young Travis who has a hankering for big,
older, hairy guys. Cue John, the bear
of Bear
it All. Readers can get a sneak peek of their HEA in Wendy’
Burke’s The
One He Chose, where we learn that Travis and John are living in Ann
Arbor and building a house together.
Well, as you may remember, Travis had
just taken the bar and wanted to become a child advocate and John was teaching
law at UofM. Travis passed, of course, and now he is a guardian ad litem at
Washtenaw County Court office. He loves his job. John continues to teach, and spending
his free time in the small vegetable garden he talked Travis into putting in
their back yard. Travis prefers to go organic by shopping at Whole Foods, and
makes sure John doesn’t get carried away with his garden and annoys their
suburban neighbors or break any rules of the development rules.
Their house has become the place to watch the Ohio State vs
Michigan game and every year the transplanted Buckeye, Travis goes all out to
taunt John, even wearing full scarlet and grey to the Michigan hospitality
tents with John’s coworkers. Last year Travis even bought a blow up Brutus and
had him holding a decapitated wolverine in their front yard, which the
neighborhood committee made him promptly take down due to a complaint from his
own household. But it is all in good fun and John has big plans to best Travis
in this game this fall.
Aside from an occasional, “Is this your
son?” from a stranger, most of their friends and family barely notice their age
gap anymore, and some of Travis’ friends refer to them as the old married couple,
‘Jonvis’.
Still, the happy couple does feel a few
things are missing in their lives. Since their home state of Michigan bans same
sex marriage, they are taking a trip to Chicago this weekend to check out
possible wedding venues. They haven’t told anyone their plans, but they are
hoping for a late summer wedding, right before John starts his fall semester.
And of course, a honeymoon at Castillo
Resorts in Turks and Caicos where their romance began!
Once that little piece of paper shows
the world what they have known in their hearts from their first night together,
they are considering adoption. John insists he is too old for babies and Travis
has always wanted to make a difference in a child’s life, give them the chance
he never had. So they’re hoping to adopt an older boy, or perhaps siblings the
system cannot find homes for.
Whether any children turn out to be
Wolverines or Buckeyes is anybody’s guess, but one thing is for sure they will
be growing up in a home full of laughter and love.
Bear
it All—A 1 Night Stand Story
Travis hired 1 Night Stand hoping for a hot
encounter with a sexy older, hairy
man, someone to make him feel safe and cherished, and John looks custom made to
order.
After losing his partner three years ago, John needs to learn how to open his heart and live again. He thinks a one night stand in the Caribbean might be the answer, but when he sees the young, thin and much smaller Travis, he thinks the agency sent the wrong man.
Can desire overcome misunderstanding when these two bear it all? Or will both men walk away from exactly what they need and desire?

Deanna
Wadsworth might be a bestselling erotica author, but she leads a pretty vanilla
life in Ohio with her wonderful husband and a couple adorable cocker spaniels.
She has been spinning tales and penning stories since childhood, and her first
erotic novella was published in 2010. When she isn’t writing books or
brainstorming with friends, you can find her making people gorgeous in a beauty
salon. She loves music and dancing, and can often be seen hanging out on the
sandbar in the muddy Maumee River or chilling with her hubby and a cocktail in
their basement bar. In between all that fun, Deanna cherishes the quiet times
when she can let her wildly active imagination have the full run of her mind.
Her fascination with people and the interworkings of their relationships have
always inspired her to write romance with spice and love without boundaries.
