Introduction

For the first time New York Times bestselling author Christopher Rice writes as C. Travis Rice. Under his new pen name, Rice offers tales of passion, intrigue, and steamy romance between men. The first novel, SAPPHIRE SUNSET, transports you to a beautiful luxury resort on the sparkling Southern California coast where strong-willed heroes release the shame that blocks their heart's desires.

Logan Murdoch is a fighter, a survivor, and a provider. When he leaves a distinguished career in the Marine Corps to work security at a luxury beachfront resort, he’s got one objective: pay his father’s mounting medical bills. That means Connor Harcourt, the irresistibly handsome scion of the wealthy family that owns Sapphire Cove, is strictly off limits, despite his sassy swagger and beautiful blue eyes. Logan’s life is all about sacrifices; Connor is privilege personified. But temptation is a beast that demands to be fed, and a furtive kiss ignites instant passion, forcing Logan to slam the brakes. Hard.

Haunted by their frustrated attraction, the two men find themselves hurled back together when a headline-making scandal threatens to ruin the resort they both love. This time, there’s no easy escape from the magnetic pull of their white hot desire. Will saving Sapphire Cove help forge the union they crave, or will it drive them apart once more?

Excerpt

Discussion Questions

From the author:

1. How do you feel about Logan’s choice to pour cold water on his attraction to Connor at the beginning of the book? Do you think he made the right call given his family situation, or do you think they could have found a way to make it work?

2. The moment that makes Connor fall hopelessly in love with Logan is when Logan stands up for him to Rodney in the hotel’s lobby. What was the moment that made you fall in love with the person you consider to be the love of your life?

3. In the final chapters of the novel, Connor reveals the extent to which people have treated him unfairly over the years because of his “gay voice” and mannerisms some consider to be feminine. Where in your life do you feel you’ve been discriminated against because of your mannerisms?

4. If you were in Connor’s position, would you have been willing to negotiate with Rodney to clear Logan’s name, even after everything Rodney had done?

5. Even though “Sapphire Sunset” is a romance novel, a lot of the book is about family. Talk about the most special relationship you have in your family of origin.
