This is the story of Jordon Davis. He's lived in my head since 2010. Jordon is Zack & Dusty's younger brother.
The Made in China series came to me as I was sitting in China and I watched this video:
I have already written The Dark Angels... and I just found out about Hyde from X Japan was dead (before I ever found the group). But what if Hyde didn't die... Made in China started to form in my head. I pictured them as they are in their Evolution video (Traditional robes playing traditional instruments then they morph into a hard rocking band).
Li (far left) Bass (The mature one from Shanghai raised by his uncle after his bio family shunned him)
Indigo (next) Keyboards (The American who rails against how things are done in China)
Tian Di (middle) Singer (Focused on his career and doesn't want anything or anyone to get in his way)
Styx (next on the right) Drummer (Impossibly in love with his best friend)
Jin (far right) Guitar (In love with his best friend and will use everything in his power to make it work)
The Temple of Heaven's Blurb:
Music is Tian Di’s life
and his love, and he’s made plenty of sacrifices. His career is finally taking
off with his band, Made in China, and he’ll continue to put music first...
until he meets Jordon. Then insta- lust becomes insta-love and a commitment to
the future—no matter how difficult it might be.
Jordon lives in a bubble
constructed by his overprotective older brothers, who are so controlling that
they’ve kept him from dating. A talented artist, Jordon managed to keep his
success with a Japanese manga publisher a secret from his family, but now he
fears discovery. It’s easier to let his brothers handle everything, but Jordon
has reached his limit. He’s ready to draw some boundaries so he can be his own
man and face all the challenges that come with that.
Their families and
careers aren’t the only obstacles. Jordon must accept his identity as a gay man
who doesn’t top or bottom. Fortunately, Tian Di—and his special talents—help
Jordon open up to his sexuality in an erotic adventure that spans Japan and
China, and with love, luck, hard work, and open minds, will end in a happily
ever after.
