Under his pen name, C. Travis Rice, New York Times bestselling author Christopher Rice offers tales of passion, intrigue, and steamy romance between men. The fourth novel, SAPPHIRE DAWN, once again transports you to a beautiful luxury resort on the sparkling Southern California coast where strong-willed heroes release the shame that blocks their hearts’ desires.
Donnie Bascombe has made a lot of people’s fantasies come true in his life, first in the bedroom, then on the set of his adult entertainment studio. But his best friend Logan Murdoch has just presented him with his tallest order yet—help plan the wedding of his dreams. Desire has always been Donnie’s forte. But lavish nuptials at one of Southern California’s premier oceanfront resorts? For that job, he’ll need a partner. And a mentor.
Richard Merriweather has devoted his life to planning fairy tale weddings for celebrities and royalty—only to have his own husband shatter his heart into a million pieces. Remaking the special events office at Sapphire Cove is just the distraction he needs to get his fancy and luxurious life back on track. But the groom’s brash and undeniably sexy best friend has a powerful attraction to Richard Merriweather he can’t keep secret. Problem is, Richard doesn’t do hookups, and Donnie doesn’t do relationships. The closer Donnie gets to Richard, the more he wants something different, something he’s never had before. Something that will force both men to confront the heartbreak in their pasts as they plan Sapphire Cove’s wedding of the decade and find an unexpected future for themselves.

Something a little different for you guys today! C. Travis Rice interviews Richard Merriweather from SAPPHIRE DAWN.
C. TRAVIS RICE INTERVIEWS RICHARD MERRIWEATHER, EVENT PLANNER TO THE STARS
C. TRAVIS RICE: I appreciate you taking the time, Mr. Merriweather. And congratulations on taking over the special events office at beautiful Sapphire Cove. You must be thrilled by this new opportunity!
RICHARD: I am. After the year I’ve had, I could definitely use some sun, sand and new friends. In a related story, I’m unable to answer any questions about my soon to be ex-husband and the tall building I hope falls on him.
C. TRAVIS RICE: We’ll stick to more cheerful topics then. Like the wedding of the resort’s general manager and security director, Connor Harcourt and Logan Murdoch. Which you’ll be planning.
RICHARD: Indeed. And my plans are to figure out how to work with Logan’s best man. He is….quite a character.
C. TRAVIS RICE: That would be Logan’s best friend, adult entertainment star Bo Bonin?
RICHARD: His real name is actually Donnie Bascombe. And he has a lot to learn about boundaries.
C. TRAVIS RICE: I’m hearing you and Donnie met by accident in one of the hotel’s lobby bathrooms before you were officially introduced and things got a little…heated.
RICHARD: The bathroom, like all of Sapphire Cove, was well air conditioned, I can assure you. Let’s talk cala lilies! They’re hot with the smart set this season.
C. TRAVIS RICE: I’ve also been informed he hit on you rather aggressively. Before he realized he’d be working with you, of course.
RICHARD: How about that Met Ball? Did you see some of those outfits?
C. TRAVIS RICE: So how are you and Donnie going to work together given your exciting introduction?
RICHARD: I’m more than up to the challenge. I owned a St. Bernard for many years.
