Benji Moore is living his dream traveling as the lead singer of his popular band Fading Daze. His life would be perfect if he could get his long-time, long-distance boyfriend, Joshua, to commit to an exclusive relationship. He wants the lasting, romantic love his parents have, and he doesn't understand why he's not enough for Joshua.

Even though Joshua Lansing loves Benji with his whole heart, he has good reasons for not trusting in long-term relationships. Namely, his own cheating parents and his lack of belief in that fairytale "happily ever after." So when Benji puts his foot down, they break up. Again. Desperate to figure out what he truly wants, Joshua takes time off work and sublets a room at a friend's beach house. And when he walks into the nearby Off Beat bar, he finds a bartender who may be a good distraction from his recently-broken heart.

Van Holt doesn't do anything deeper than sweaty one-night stands. But when Joshua sets his sights on him, Van is surprised by their strong connection - except Van also doesn't do complicated, and Joshua and Benji's on-again/off-again relationship defines complicated. But the more time Van spends with the pair, together and separately, the more he realizes how hard it will be to let Joshua and Benji go.

Can three very different men find a way to make it work as a trio, or will they all end up going solo?

Hot Licks is the third book in the Off Beat trilogy, featuring a pansexual bartender, a bi-guy having a career crisis, and a lead singer discovering what it means to be asexual...and love two men.

A.M. Arthur was born and raised in the same kind of small town she likes to write about, a stone's throw from both the ocean and generational farmland. She's been writing stories in her head since she was a child and scribbling them down nearly as long. When not exorcising the voices in her head, A.M. can be found in the kitchen experimenting with food and trying not to poison herself or others.
