KC Kendricks calls herself an accidental writer. After completing her first novel writing as Rayne Forrest, she was urged to submit it to a publisher, and everything snowballed from there. Today, the author has had over seventy books published.
In July of 2021, she tried to retire but her employer offered her a deal to work at home. She accepted. Now she balances work, writing, and hearth and home in a controlled chaos.
A native of scenic western Maryland, the author enjoys most activities that don’t include snow. In warm weather she might be found walking the dog, biking on the C&O Canal towpath, planting delicacies in her garden for the deer to munch on at night, playing in the creek, or lazing on the patio with her Kindle reader or laptop.
She recently began to research her family history and can't drive past a cemetery without stopping to search for family sites. Her mission is to photograph old tombstones before the elements erode the stones and the names are lost to time.

Micah Souther is young, talented, and gay. As the junior owner of the family business, he knows better than to look for love "on the clock."
Jonas Chadwick is the new guy at the firm. Older, wiser, and a survivor of the school of hard knocks, he's not in the market for an office romance, even if he learns for certain his young boss is gay.
One kiss is all it takes to send Micah and Jonas on a collision course, and when bodies collide, the friction gets hot...

"Jonas," I murmured against his smiling lips. "Talk to…" His tongue flicked to mine, cutting off my request for a moment of conversation.
Any of my neighbors watching were getting quite a sideshow. I shoved my hand in my pocket, fumbling for my keys. They fell from my shaking fingers to the porch decking. Jonas pushed me back, breaking physical contact. I longed to see his eyes, to get some idea of what he thought, what he felt.
"Bend over and pick them up," he said cheerfully as he rubbed my nipple.
I stared at him and tried to catch my breath. "Not in front of you, Chadwick. I know all about men like you."
"Do you?" Something rough and dark in his voice gave me pause. What demon did he battle?
"I know enough." I pushed him back against the side of the house, not with some little force. "Why did you come back?"
"I don't know. Maybe to satisfy my curiosity."
"Bull." I fisted my hands in his shirt and gave him a shake. "We take this inside, make it private, or we're done here."
Jonas stared at me for the longest twenty seconds of my life, then he nodded. I released him and he bent over, snagged my keys, and dropped them into my outstretched palm. I unlocked the door and invited the devil into my home for the second time in one day.
"I need a drink. Do you want one, Jonas?" I needed to haul him into my bedroom and have my way with him, that's what I needed. My insides quivered. I shivered despite the warm evening.
But I knew, to my sorrow, that quickie sex now would be a mistake, and I bet he knew it, too.
"I'll take a brandy if you have it."
"I hope you'll settle for bourbon."
I poured us each a generous shot and handed him one. He nodded and tossed it back like a pro. I followed suit, and we set out empties down on the counter in unison. Jonas reached for me again. I lifted my chin and stared him down. His hand dropped to his side.
I wanted him. God, how I wanted him. I ached with it. His gaze met mine before flicking down to the bulge in my pants and back up.
"Looks nice."
"It's a sock," I told him cheerily, in the same tone that he'd used to tell me to bend over.
"Hmm. Well, that's the risk we run, isn't it?"
