Valentine has been in love with his best friend since they were kids, secretly worshiping Preston, while Preston dates man after man, never offering him more than brotherly friendship. When the wonderful summer between high school and college comes to an end, with Val no closer to winning Preston's heart, Val finally admits defeat and heads to Portland State University, leaving his best friend behind. Or so he thinks.

When Val rents a room in a house with fellow students, he meets the lovely Silver, quickly falling for the man's dark looks and sinful smile. When Preston unexpectedly shows up, declaring he's broken up with his latest boyfriend and taken the empty room across the hall from Val, Val's torn between lingering feelings for his old flame, and his growing attraction to the fascinating Silver.

Deciding to leave his troubles behind, he goes with his new roommates to Limelight, the local 1980s club. There he falls even harder for Silver as they writhe and twist to song after song, the wild beat of the music and erotic moves of the dancers around them pounding in his blood. He feels caught up in one of the angsty 1980s movies he loves so well. But tonight, he can't figure out if he's the main character or simply supporting cast.



Dianne grew up in one of the older homes in the middle of Los Angeles, a place of hardwood floors and secret closets and back staircases. A house where ghosts lurk in the basement and the faces in the paintings watch you walk up the front stairs. Rooms where you keep the closet doors closed tight at night. It's where her love of the mysterious and wonderful came from. Dianne is the author of m/m romance, paranormal/suspense, fantasy adventure, the occasional thriller, and anything else that comes to mind.



She now lives in the beautiful Willamette Valley of Oregon with her incredibly patient husband, who puts up with the endless hours she spends hunched over the keyboard letting her characters play. Dianne says Oregon's raindrops are the perfect setting in which to write. There's something about being cooped up in the house with a fire crackling on the hearth and a cup of hot coffee in her hands, which kindles her imagination.



Currently, Dianne works as a floral designer in a locally-owned gift shop. Which is the perfect job for her. When not writing, she can express herself through the rich colors and textures of flowers and foliage.
