"The Gift" for Decadent Publishing's 1Night Stand series
At twenty-two, rancher Wyatt Malone sacrificed almost everything, including the Dom he served and loved, to raise his younger brothers. Now, with the ranch running well, his grown up siblings surprise him with a trip to a Caribbean paradise and a date from Madame Evangeline's 1Night Stand. Taking his courage in hand, he fills out an application that bares his soul for a single night of surrender to a nearly forgotten passion.
Rafael is a Dom without a sub. His desires exceed the available men in the dungeon
he frequents and memories of rejected love keep him aloof. Can the submission of a Montana cowboy free him or will the date be nothing more than another meaningless scene?

Excerpt:
Rafael blotted his mouth with his napkin and placed it on the table. Wyatt set his fork down and waited. The old familiar
energy pulsed between them. Heat zipped through his groin, and he shifted in his seat as his erection pressed against his jeans.
“Wyatt, you asked Madame Eve for a Dominant for one night.” Rafael slid a keycard on the table between them.“If you accept my
invitation to play, you will take this card and be in my suite, ready, in fifteen minutes.”
Without hesitation, he reached over and grasped it. When his wrist was grabbed, tugging him forward, Wyatt braced his free hand
on the table and accepted Rafael’s lips. At first they brushed, a tease, and then the kiss became a sensual play of tongues. His heart pounded at the taste of curry and tequila. He twirled his tongue around the other man’s and groaned. Rafael’s lips trailed across his jaw and down his neck, stubble scraping across sensitive skin, creating a rasp of pleasure that flowed all the way down his
spine.
The Dom followed it with a nip on the bottom lip and then pulled back, twisting Wyatt’s wrist slightly to glance at his watch. Rafael released him and leaned back with a wicked grin. Wyatt’s heart raced.
“You now have thirteen minutes.”

4.5 Hearts from The Romance Studio!
This was a beautiful story about finding lost love and keeping it. I loved Wyatt right from the start. He is a strong man with a big heart. Always giving and taking care of others. Rafael is a good man and Dom. He truly cares for Wyatt and will do what ever Wyatt needs him to do. The love between the two men is apparent and they burn up the pages with their attraction, making this a great read. The men were both brought vividly to life bringing so much emotion to this story. I longed for them to find their happy ever after. The bond that these two have is a wonderful thing to see. The author does a great job of wrapping up their story but still having the reader want to come back and visit Wyatt and Rafael again. Full Review
4.5 Delightful Divas from Dark Divas Reviews!
Ms. Morgan’s book is thoughtful of the characters circumstances and displays the respect and tenderness between Raphael and Wyatt. The Gift moved me and had me cheering for the relationship to carry on even though it seemed the odds were against them. The book surely does not disappoint and I recommend that you give it a try.

4 stars from Sabine at Manic Readers
"It was also an emotionally charged read and I appreciated that in this short space, Ms. Morgan was able to pack so much in to make this a story definitely worth reading!"
"I loved this story and you will too, so get yourself a copy of The Gift by V.S. Morgan as soon as you can!" Full Review
4 stars from The Certifiable Wenches
I have to say that this is the first guy on guy erotic story that I've read and I wasn't sure what to expect. There's not a lot of erotica that really impresses me, but I found myself liking this story. And with only 34 pages, you can read it pretty quickly.
I liked that there were no stereotypes when it came to both men. I also liked that Wyatt's brothers were very accepting of his sexual preference.
When it came to the sex, it was hot and steamy, but with a touch of romance, and considering this was a BDSM story, that's not an easy accomplishment. Full Review
4 stars from From Erticchic378 on Goodreads
"I generally do not like to read short stories. They usually seem very rushed, with little thought at all put into creating an actual story. This was such a pleasant surprise."
4 stars from Meggerfly on Amazon
"All in all The Gift is a great read. V.S. Morgan can be proud of her publishing debut! I for one, am looking forward to her future works." Full review
4 stars from Sadonna on Goodreads
This is a good short BDSM story that features and surprise reunion of a sub and his Dom. I always like these stories - some better than others. This was a particularly good one because of the second chance aspect. I liked both characters and it was sweet and hot and romantic.
4 stars from Cindi on Goodreads
As with most short stories, I'm always left wanting more but I was very happy with the way this one turned out. A lot said in only a few pages.
I love reading stories about reunited lovers and this one was perfect.
Great characters, great story.
A nice, quick read.
