The Blindfold Date Duology: An MM Romance

by K.C. Carmine

The Blindfold Date
Facing his crush from uni was not what E expected on a blind date.

A new dating app. Rules: both parties sit at a table with blindfolds on. Each can ask three questions. If they don't like the answers, they can leave. If both parties enjoy the conversation, they take the blindfolds off. What can go wrong? Nothing.
Unless you come face-to-face with your old crush.
This is exactly how Ernesto-an autistic video game programmer with a dominant streak, reconnects with Brian-an easy-going ex-football player with a burgeoning desire to submit. After his secret obsession with Brian comes to light, he realises both of them have changed since their time at uni. E is willing to risk a potential emotional disaster to have Brian under him, even if just for one night.
Brian threw himself into his bi-awakening with so much enthusiasm, he got hurt too many times to count, but succumbing to the demands of this lean, geeky Dom may be just what Brian needs. He has to overcome his past to truly give himself to E, at the danger of having his heart broken by a man who desires his body but doesn't know his secrets.

The Lonely Date
A bi-curious jock. A pining geek. Two paths that barely cross.

An 18k prequel story to the Blindfold Date where we get to meet Brian and Ernesto at a pivotal moment 12 years earlier as students at the same university. The Lonely Date can be read as a standalone but the HEA happens in the novel, where the two men meet again on a blind date.

Brian has always dreamt of a professional football career. Years of dedication and hard work have brought that goal within arm's reach, but now he's facing a new battle-with his sexuality he can no longer repress. Coming out-or even experimenting-would endanger his prospective career. After a devastating accident, Brian finds himself being led through doors he was reluctant to open before.

E has always struggled with intimacy. As a gay geek on the spectrum, his love life has consisted of a series of haphazard and unrewarding anonymous encounters. After a hopeless crush on a fellow student, E faces a tough decision: step out of his comfort zone and reach for what he wants, or face a life alone.
