Author Bio:
Born and raised in the north-west of England, K.C.Wells always loved writing. Words were important. Full stop. However, when childhood gave way to adulthood, the writing ceased, as life got in the way.
K.C. discovered erotic fiction in 2009, where the purchase of a ménage storyline led to the startling discovery that reading about men in love was damn hot. In 2012, arriving at a really low point in life led to the desperate need to do something creative. An even bigger discovery waited in the wings – writing about men in love was even hotter…
K.C. now writes full-time and is loving every minute of her new career.
The laptop still has no idea of what hit it… it only knows that it wants a rest, please. And it now has to get used to the idea that where K.C goes, it goes.

Blurb:
John Wainwright is having a momentous day. To start off, he lands his first teaching job. Then his brother, Evan, and Evan’s husband, Daniel, take him out to celebrate in Manchester’s gay village. An encounter with a sexy man forces John to admit what he’s been denying for too long—he’s gay. His coming out proves he’s supported and loved by his family and roommates. What more could a man want? There’s just one small problem: John’s dishy Head Teacher, Brett Sanderson, and John’s gigantic crush on him. Too bad Brett is straight.
Brett Sanderson leads a double life. At thirty-three, he is the Head Teacher of a primary school. But for seven years now, during every school holiday, Brett has fled to Brighton, where he becomes ‘Rob,’ a man who has a different guy in his bed every night but has never had a relationship.
Once he’s back in school, Brett is firmly back in that closet, until his newest staff member starts prying open the door. When John pulls out all the stops to get Brett’s attention, neither man is prepared for the consequences.
…Where Brett buys a bed and John tries to help 😛
“Remind me again why you decided you had to come with me?” Brett asked, casting a glance around the Home Furniture floor of Debenhams department store. He couldn’t see anyone he knew, but that didn’t ease his nerves.
“Because you said you needed a new bed,” John came back, “and seeing as I’ve seen your bed—intimately—you need some advice.”
Brett frowned. “What’s wrong with my bed?”
John snorted. “It’s ancient! It has springs, for God’s sake.” He winked. “Let’s face it, you’re getting to be an old man. You need some advice from a younger gay guy.” He chuckled.
Brett folded his arms across his chest. “Oh, you are going to be for it when we get back to my place.”
John waggled his eyebrows. “Promises, promises.” He looked around at the selection of beds. “There’s loads to choose from here.”
Brett shoved his hands in his jeans’ pockets. “Well, we’d better look for a big one.” Then a thought crossed his mind and he grinned. “After all, I need the room.”
John frowned. “What do you mean?”
“Do you know how hard it is sharing a bed with you? I wake up and you’re taking up three-quarters of it. And there’s me, squashed into this tiny bit right at the edge of the bed.” He chuckled. “Plus, there’s the way you sleep. It’s like sleeping next to a starfish.”
John huffed. “Charming.”
Brett wasn’t finished. “And then we need more room, for obvious reasons.” His gaze swept downward to John’s crotch.
John blushed bright red. “Brett!”
“Can I help you?”
Brett turned to see a young woman, obviously a sales assistant, standing beside the nearest bed.
John gave him an evil smile before giving her his attention. “Yes, we’re looking for a new bed.”
She looked from John to Brett and back to John again. Her cheeks flushed pink. “Er, I’ll be right back.” She disappeared toward the sales desk.
Brett arched his eyebrows. “What’s up with her?”
John shrugged. “Who cares? Let’s try out some beds.” He wandered over to a king sized bed and sat on it. “Ooh, this one feels firm.” He gazed suggestively at Brett. “So, how do you like it? Firm, soft?”
Brett shook his head. “You are a wicked man.”
John stretched out on the bed and patted the space next to him. “Come on, try it.”
Brett shook his head. “Uh uh.”
John grinned. “Oh, come on, it’s not like I’m going to leap on you in the middle of Debenhams, is it?”
Brett gave a last look around and then sat down carefully.
John laughed. “Lie down, give it a proper try.”
Muttering under his breath, Brett lay down. Actually, it was a very comfy bed. He wriggled and gave a little impromptu bounce to test the mattress’s resilience.
“Getting comfortable, are we, gentlemen?”
Another sales assistant was standing at the foot of the bed, only this one was smirking at them. He was cute, in a twinky sort of way. Not that Brett was into twinks. He had his hands full with a certain newly qualified teacher.
The assistant arched a single thin eyebrow. “And whatever did you say to my colleague to send her running for me?”
John sat up. “All I said was, we were looking for a new bed.”
The cutie grinned. “Ahh, the penny drops. It was probably the word ‘we’ that sent her off to the hills.” He looked at them both. “So, can I also interest you in the headboard that comes with this particular model? It has built in drawers.”
John flicked a glance at Brett. “Ooh, think of all the things you could store in there!” He licked his lips.
Brett couldn’t take anymore. “I’ll take it.” He got up off the bed and gave John a stern glance.
The sales assistant beamed. “Excellent. Come over to the cash desk and we’ll sort out payment and delivery.”
Brett nodded and followed him. John sidled up to him and leaned in close. “And when it arrives, I’ll make sure I’m around to give it a proper road test.” He winked.
Suddenly Brett had a whole host of ideas as to how they could test it. Come to think of it, maybe he should pre-order another bed, just in case.
