Lake has always valued Knight's frankness, but this time he's wrong. Without him, two hearts might be doomed never to find love. Besides, what does Knight know about romance? He's barely dated in all the seven years Lake's known him. He's clueless. Though, there's a thought. Knight has everything going for him. Sensibility. Kindness. Generosity. And for a forty-four-year-old, he's-objectively-freaking hot. Why is he single? ". . . [T]here may be a hundred different ways of being in love." Jane Austen And a hundred different ways not to recognize it. "Emerett Has Never Been In Love" is a fun, fast-paced gay romance retelling of Jane Austen's Emma.

His passionate and adventure-filled story opens a new door to understand a nation irrevocably linked to the stability and prosperity of Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and to the United States.
