Judging Valentine (Collins Avenue Confidential)

Can someone see past my tattoos and my past? Can I just have a friend in the world? Valentine clawed his way to the top of the Russian criminal underworld by being smart, ruthless, and free of entanglements. Handsome models, lithe gymnasts, and cowering wannabe gangsters were among his sexual conquests, but he never let things get beyond that. After a not-guilty verdict in his federal criminal trial, Valentine wants a new life, but the world won't accept him as anything more than a cartoonish mafia villain. "I've never come to terms with being gay as a judge. And now I can't stop thinking about Valentine." Peter is a forty-year-old virgin, a brilliant federal judge who considers himself gay "only in theory," because his sexual experience is limited to the sex toys he keeps in his private chambers. He knows well enough not to get personally involved with the men coming in and out of his courtroom every day. But Valentine -- Valentine is like nobody else. A mild-mannered forty-year-old-virgin federal judge isn't supposed to obsess over a muscular, tattooed Russian gangster in his courtroom. And a man as famous for avoiding relationships as he is for avoiding the law isn't supposed to get googly-eyed over a nerd in a black robe. Judging Valentine is a standalone gay romance with a feel-good HEA, no violence, and love hotter than the Miami sun.
