    About the Book

    Title Tarnished Gold
    Genre Historical gay romance
    Author Brita Addams
    Book heat level R
    In 1915,
    starstruck Jack Abadie strikes out for the gilded streets of the most sinful
    town in the country—Hollywood. With him, he takes a secret that his country hometown
    would never understand. 
    After years of
    hard work and a chance invitation to a gay gentlemen’s club, Jack is
    discovered. Soon, his talent, matinee idol good looks, and affable personality
    propel him to the height of stardom. But fame breeds distrust. 
    Meeting Wyatt
    Maitland turns Jack’s life upside down. He wants to be worthy of his good
    fortune, but old demons haunt him. Only through Wyatt’s strength can Jack face
    that which keeps him from being the man he wants to be. Love without trust is
    empty. 
    As the 1920s
    roar, scandals rock the movie industry. Public tolerance of Hollywood’s
    decadence has reached its limit. Under pressure to clean up its act, Jack’s
    studio issues an ultimatum. Either forsake the man he loves and remain a box
    office darling, or follow his heart and let his shining star fade to tarnished
    gold.

    About the Author

    Born in a small
    town in upstate New York, Brita Addams has made her home in the sultry south
    for many years. In the Frog Capital of the World, Brita shares her home with
    her real-life hero—her husband, and a fat cat named Stormee. All their children
    are grown.
    Given her love of
    history, Brita writes both het and gay historical romance. Many of her
    historicals have appeared on category bestseller lists at various online
    retailers.
    Tarnished Gold,
    the first in her gay romance Tarnished series for Dreamspinner Press, was a
    winner in the 2013 Rainbow Awards, Historical Romance category. The book also
    received nominations for Best Historical and Best Book of 2013 from the readers
    of the Goodreads M/M Romance Group.
    A bit of
    trivia—Brita pronounces her name, Bree-ta, and not Brit-a, like the famous
    water filter. Brita Addams is a mash-up of her real middle name and her
    husband’s middle name, with an additional d and s.

    Author
    Brita Addams
    After Preston Meacham’s lover dies trying to
    lend him aid at Salamanca, hopelessness becomes his only way of life. Despite
    his best efforts at starting again, he has no pride left, which leads him to
    sell himself for a pittance at a molly house. The mindless sex affords him his
    only respite from the horrors he witnessed. 
    The Napoleonic War left Benedict Wilmot
    haunted by the acts he was forced to commit and the torture he endured at the
    hands of a superior, a man who used the threat of a gruesome death to force Ben
    to do his bidding. Even sleep gives Ben no reprieve, for he can’t escape the
    destruction he caused. 
    When their paths cross, Ben feels an
    overwhelming need to protect Preston from his dangerous profession. As he
    explains, “The streets are dangerous for men like us.”
