Nathan has cared for horses all his life, but Haji is the first he'll train on his own. When the Arabian stallion arrives at Bitter Coffee Ranch, Nathan thinks he is the most beautiful thing he's ever seen. And then he lays eyes on Haji's handler, Yousef. Nathan has much to learn about horses, about pride, and about love, but with the ranch's hopes riding on Haji, he'll also learn that all things have their price. A Bittersweet Dreams title: It's an unfortunate truth: love doesn't always conquer all. Regardless of its strength, sometimes fate intervenes, tragedy strikes, or forces conspire against it. These stories of romance do not offer a traditional happy ending, but the strong and enduring love will still touch your heart and maybe move you to tears.

Alan Chin enjoyed a twenty-year career, working his way from computer programmer to Director of Software Engineering, but he lost interest in computer science when he began writing fiction. He walked away from corporate America in 1999, and since then has traveled to over fifty countries, scuba dived the Great Barrier Reef, tracked black rhino in the Serengeti, walked the five-hundred-and-fifty-mile Camino de Santiago across Spain, and dined in most of the capitals of Europe and Asia. Oh yes, and he's published nine gay-themed novels and two screenplays.
In 2007, QBliss magazine awarded their Pride in Literature award to Alan for his debut novel, Island Song. In 2010, Alan's novel The Lonely War swept the Rainbow Literary Awards, taking top honors in four categories: Best Fiction, Best Historical, Best Characters, and Best Setting. A year later, the Rainbow Literary Awards granted Alan's third novel, Match Maker, the Best Contemporary Fiction award. Alan's novel The Plain of Bitter Honey was a finalist in the 2013 Foreword Reviews Book of the Year awards.
Alan currently spends half of the year traveling the globe and the other half writing at his home in Palm Springs, California.
