  Meet Angelo - Drake Angelo Smith-Russo Junior:

  He is Drake Russo's eighteen-year-old son.

  Everyone calls him Angelo, his middle name, and he goes by his mother's last name Smith. Angelo Smith has a fairly good relationship with his father, although he finds it hard to be the son of such a popular man. His mother, Janet Smith, has managed with Drake's help to try and give Angelo as normal upbringing as possible.

  When Angelo was old enough, he toured with the band, but has remained basically a very well-balanced individual. He tries not to dwell on the craziness.

  He plays guitar and wants to be a musician like his Dad. He resents the fact that his dad wants him to make it out there on his own and won't welcome him into the band.

  When Book 1 opens, he is in Europe travelling. He resembles his father in looks, and in his desire to play music. He is mainly gay with some tendency to sleep with women. Angelo has a bit of a complex where his father is concerned, a conflict that will heat up when Johnny's long-lost son arrives.

  D.J. Manly

  J. Manly is fast acquiring a reputation for D pushing the boundaries of male/male erotic romance. A reviewer once said of Manly's work that it was enough to give the reader "...third-degree burns in an air conditioned room..." and that's putting it mildly. If you adore gorgeous men who can't get enough of each other's bodies...if you like rich plots laced with steamy sex, thick and rich with aching need and glorious adoration and love...Manly's books will satisfy the craving and leave you panting for more.

  "If I wouldn't enjoy reading it, I wouldn't be writing it," says Manly. "I like to tease...but I always please..."
