Sand in the anthology Last Gasp (e-book and print) from Noble Romance
“Safe upon solid rock the ugly houses stand: Come and see my shining palace built upon the sand.”
People come to Syria for many reasons; tourism, archaeology, or because they need to leave Edwardian England to escape potential disgrace. Andrew Parks is one of those, burying past heartache and scandal among the tombs.
Charles Cusiter has travelled here as well, as chaperone to a friend whose fondness for the opposite sex gets him into too much trouble at home. Out in the desert there aren’t any women to turn Bernard’s head – just the ubiquitous sand.
The desert works its magic on Charles, softening his heart and drawing him towards Andrew. Not even a potentially fatal scorpion sting can overcome the power this strange land exerts.

Francis Yardley, the high kicking star of an all-male version of Chicago, feels like the chance for true love has passed him by. Meeting a shy but handsome rugby player gives him the hope that there's still happiness to be found 'nowadays'.
'Aftermath', part of the trilogy Speak Its Name by Cheyenne Publishing. Available in e-book at Amazon and AllRomance ebooks and in print at Barnes and Noble, Amazon and Amazon UK.
When shy Edward Easterby first sees the popular Hugo Lamont, he’s both envious of the man’s social skills and ashamed of finding him so attractive. But two awful secrets weigh Lamont down. One is that he fancies Easterby, at a time when the expression of such desires is strictly illegal. The second is that an earlier, disastrous encounter with a young gigolo has left him unwilling to enter into a relationship with anyone. Hugo feels torn apart by the conflict between what he wants and what he feels is “right”. Will Edward find that time and patience are enough to change Hugo’s mind?

"Particular favorites of mine were The Roaming Heart by Charlie Cochrane (m/m), a historical about two British actors who were witty and delightful to read." Review
'Wolves of the West', part of the anthology Queer Wolf, available from Queered Fiction.
"Although I've read Charlie Cochrane's work before, I was, and I think other readers will be, wonderfully suprised. Not only by this author's approach to a different genre, but by how sly her sense of humour is and how this comes through her writing." Reviews by Jessewave
