Seven young people who repair cars share a very close
relationship. Sally who came from a Utah commune is cool
with polyandry so she doesn't mind six partners. But a
Cuban boy, Alanso, who likes girls is confused to find
himself also wanting Eli, nicknamed KING COBRA, whose
family ran the youth shelter which attracted the young
people. Experimenting in a park one night, Alanso
concludes that he's actually bisexual.
The Hot Rods are a tight group and Alanso finds them
supportive, but Eli who can't deny that the idea appeals,
doesn't want to find out that he's gay. He also doesn't
want to alienate anyone or rupture the links that bind
them. The kids were troubled and have spent years settling
to a stable life. Agreeing to see if he and Alanso are
compatible, Eli nevertheless also brings a girl home with
them from a bar one night, shattering Sally's dreams.
This is a short erotic novella, the latest in the Hot
Rods series, which will appeal to those who've been
following the team's adventures. Jayne Rylon has
collaborated with Mari Carr on the two Compass ranch
series, Compass Brothers and Compass Girls - the first
of which is called Winter's Thaw.
After Eli’s mother died, his father honored her life’s
mission as a social worker by taking in several kids from
the wrong side of the tracks. Not all of them stuck, but
those who did became Eli’s quasi family.
Their bonds, forged in fires set by their personal demons,
are unbreakable—or so Eli wants to believe. Especially since
he and Alanso, his best friend and head mechanic, witnessed
the overpowering allure of polyamory while visiting the
Powertools crew.
Much as Eli would like to deepen the relationships among his
foster brothers and sister in the Hot Rods Restoration Team,
he’s hesitant to risk everything on a quick romp behind a
stack of tires.
But when Eli catches Alanso exploring their mutual fantasy
at a known hookup spot in a public park, all bets are off.
And Eli must decide if it’s time to jump in full
throttle—and trust his instincts to guide him through the
night. If the pair can dodge the potholes in their own
relationship, maybe they can race together toward the
unconventional arrangement with Mustang Sally they both desire.
Warning: Fasten your seatbelts, this is going to be a wild
(and naughty) ride!
