“Ladies and Gentlemen.” The rabbi’s booming voice startled people into silence. “Mr and Mr Roth are about to leave and take a few moments for themselves. Mr and Mrs Roth senior, would like you all to make your way to the reception hall for food and drink.”
I led my new husband to a small room behind the function suite. There was a chintzy love seat and a small table laid with champagne and canapes. We stood in the middle of the room each holding a crystal flute filled with bubbly, and toasted ourselves.
“Bastien Roth,” Bas whispered with a note of awe in his voice. “I like the sound of that.”
“It’s a sexy name befitting of its owner,” I teased. “But you know, I would never insist you take my surname.”
He looked at me with a serious expression. “It is a wonderful name that allows me to shed all of my past identity and start a new life as who I want to be. Your husband first of all.”
“I don’t want you to change, Bas,” I implored.
“Only to be a better person and more deserving of the name I have taken.” He took my hands in his. “Thank you, Tally, for giving me hope. I want to spend the rest of my life making sure you do not regret it.”
I gasped. My chest felt tight and I sank to my knees before him. I buried my head in his lap. “It is I who should be thanking you, baby boy. You have saved me in so many ways. I’ve finally learnt to grow up and value the people in my life, because of you.” I nuzzled his groin. “I will forever be in your debt.”
Bastien pulled me back up to my feet. “How about we just enjoy our wedding and leave all the heavy stuff behind us for now. Your mother will give us hell for staying away too long.” He crooked his arm so that I could link mine through his, and as equals, we left the room to greet our guests and start the rest of our lives. Together.
The End
The book ends on chapter number 18. In Hebrew, the number 18 stands for ‘chai’ which means life.
L’chaim to Tal and Bas – to life!

IZZY’S BOY – Woolf Tales 1
Isadore Woolf is a man who knows what he wants in life and most recently that happens to be Adam Cohen. Isadore comes from a steady background with loving and supportive parents and is a good son. He has rejected his father’s wealth in favour of making his own and he has built a successful career in the financial world.
Izzy surrounds himself with people who cater to his needs and never more so than at his ‘club’ where his Dominant side is free to express itself among the many willing subs happy to kneel at his feet. But Isadore has reached the stage where his tastes have matured and refined, and the tall, muscle packed, long haired, quietly spoken Adam Cohen feeds every one of his kinks. Getting this mountain of a man to submit seems impossible but Izzy was never one to back down from a challenge.
Still, it’s not all handcuffs and roses as a sinister plot of revenge against Adam could jeopardise their love and even their lives.
Can Izzy save Adam? Can Adam be what Izzy needs? Fierce passion and untamed arrogance drives Isadore to risk everything for a future together.

GOOD LORD – Woolf Tales 2
Thrilling, dark, erotic and intriguing. The new novel from Viva Gold picks up where Izzy’s Boy leaves off and we see the cast of characters embark on the next phase of their lives fraught with terror, filled with love, and quite a bit of consensual pain! This is not a BDSM story – it's filthy in parts; utterly abhorrent in others and downright sexy throughout.
Lord Jason Greenall doesn’t have a very high opinion of himself, but one thing he does know is that he deserves to be loved just like anyone else. It is with this in mind that he separates from his boyfriends, G & T, who happen to be twins that are more in love with each other than they care to admit, and goes home to Greenall Manor to lick his wounds and ponder on life in general.
Sipping tea in the conservatory with his beloved mother, Jason gets an eyeful of his French cousin Remy, who he hasn’t seen for a few years. Oh boy, Remy grew up to be somewhat delicious. Tall, and muscly, black hair and blue eyes, olive skinned and surly – everything Jason is attracted to and trying hard not to show it.
Remy has come to live at Greenall Manor while studying at Oxford. His mother is married to Jason’s father’s first cousin Marc, which means they are not blood related. Not that that would prevent Remy from taking what he wants. And he wants Jason. And he takes him. No safe words; no limits.
Their story includes Izzy and Adam of course, and the Twins. But we also meet Angel in a set of disturbing circumstances that could easily devastate the entire family. Remy is not as bullish as he would appear but he does have tendencies that make him volatile and unpredictable. Izzy is not ok with this at all and unleashes his Dom all over the lot of them.
Jason finds himself in predicaments and situations both physical and emotional that could either make him or break him….oh Good Lord.

MADE TO MEASURE (Woolf Tales Novella) for Aubergine Publishing
Made to Measure takes the idea of uniforms being used to boost the profile of the London Metropolitan Police. A special ops squad have been chosen to become insta-fame celebs in order to make the Met seem more ‘with it’ and to dispel negative opinion.
The main character who tells the story from his perspective, is Sergeant Rob Ross. He’s a big man but a natural submissive. One of his team; the rookie, Liam Ryan, is built like an oak tree and also happens to be a Dom. Another man features – his name is Sanjay and he isn’t with the police but seems to fit right in the middle of the other two!
This is the story of how they met and what occurs afterwards… it’s short, sharp, sweet and sexy! If you have read my books, Izzy’s Boy and Good Lord, this novella will hold special treats for you…

BLUE CHRISTMAS
Kent Village Outlet Mall sits in the heart of Oxford. It is a lively, busy, exciting place to be particularly if you are the young, talented manager of Zapato – a trendy and popular shoe store. Elvis Smith owns that title and boy does he wear it loud and proud. Not everyone loves
Elvis, least of all, Mall Manager Vera Kingsley. However, she is soon to learn to her cost, that the owner of the Village, its names sake, Jonah Kent, finds Elvis distinctly appealing.
Jonah is a wealthy, self-made millionaire. He owns retail outlet malls in the UK and the USA where he now lives. Elvis is young, free and single. He’s career oriented and ambitious. He also sports blue hair, black eyeliner and on most days, a worrying amount of bling.
Somehow, by the magic of Christmas, Elvis and Jonah are thrown together through a series of events, including a charity drive for an LGBTQ+ charity funded by the Woolf-Cohen foundation. When Jonah comes to visit to ensure all the arrangements for the event are running smoothly, he becomes enthralled with a blue haired, blue eyed boy. Elvis in return falls arse over tit for the handsome, over bearing, Jonah Kent. It seems an unlikely coupling – yet with a back drop of tinsel, mistletoe and yule tide shenanigans, the possibility for love emerges, like the first drop of snow on Christmas Day.

About the Author
Hi, I’m Viva Gold. I have a hubby and two grown daughters. I am North West London, born and bred, but love to travel. I work practically full time and have a very active social life with family and friends.
And then there’s this crazy, beautiful, amazing other part of my life – the book world. I started off reading MF, but once I discovered MM, all bets were off! I love it! It has brought so many fantastic people into my life; authors, readers, bloggers, models - it’s been an incredible journey so far.
As Fiona Rachel Warner, I guest review for Books Laid Bare Boys and am proud to make up one third of the shiMMer UK MM author event team. www.shimmeruk.org
But of course, writing MM is my passion and I am extremely excited to be involved in the DreaMMers group and Aubergine Publishing with 6 other amazing MM authors.
Viva’s stories are erotic and explicit. They contain BDSM elements; taboo suggestions and extreme sexual practice. (No poo though, I promise!) My characters are often wilful and arrogant, yet are fiercely loyal and protective of what’s theirs. I like them to be realistic based on demographics and social standing, but they also have to be sexy, gritty and oftentimes needy. They are all handsome and gorgeous and beautiful. My fantasies brought to life through words.
My stories are mainly set in England – a lot of the time in London. The way I write has a distinctly British feel because….I’m British! I use coarse language relevant to the character and try to research as much as possible to ensure everything is accurate and authentic. And I do mean everything lol! Yay – lucky me…
But most of all, I love words and all the power they contain. Subsequently, it is my ultimate goal in life to use my words for your pleasure and enjoyment.
