Merrick: The Quirk






Plot / Content:                              Rating: G

"The Gordon Merrick hallmarks of money, sex and exotic locations fill this juicy novel to bursting. Rod is a handsome rich boy turned bohemian artist who is suddenly faced with the possibility that his fling with an attractive male model may be more than just a "quirk" to be discounted among his countless affairs with women. As passion intensifies and other men begin to catch his eye, Rod finds himself confronted with his own surprising nature. Be swept up in this classic romance from a master of the genre!"

(from the cover)

"'No. Please. I mean it. I want you to.'

'It's too much, monsieur. I simply can't. We must be serious.'

Rod laughed. Serious? He wanted to give the man a small painting. He didn't want to be serious. He had been learning recently that he didn't have to be serious about most of the things people insisted he should be serious about; he could turn life upside down and come out on top every time. He moved toward the door to indicate that the incident was closed."
