Love always uncovers the
truth

Blurb

Eddie Channing has never bothered with a career. Yet
somehow he’s become the best salesman at Pleasure Seekers.

When his boss makes a shock announcement, Eddie isn’t
just fighting for his job—his whole life as he knows it is at stake.

Enter Billy Webster. A Brighton shop owner still grieving the
loss of his mother as well as raising his teenage sister, he could hold the answers to all of
Eddie’s problems…if Eddie can screw a good chunk of commission out of him. But Eddie,
who’s as chilled about his love life as he is about his professional one, is shaken to the core
when he first sets eyes on Billy. Can he lie to him straight away, and keep the deception
going if they become involved?

And what will happen if the truth comes out, to Eddie, Billy
and any relationship they’ve built?

Trigger warning – elements of grief for the loss of a
mother (off page).

Excerpt

The front doorbell sounded, snapping Billy to
attention.

“He must be here,” he said.

“Or it’s a customer,” Harry replied.

“I admire your optimism. I’ll go.”

Billy strode out into the shop. A man had his back to him.
He appeared to be inspecting a shell-covered jewellery box. Not one of Billy’s wisest
choices.

“Can I help you?”

When the man turned around, Billy gasped. He hadn’t seen
someone that handsome in a long time. With light brown skin and short dreadlocks that
appeared to have been tinted by the sun, he glowed.

He was a contrast to Billy’s much darker tone and cropped
hair. Fashion statements had never been high on Billy’s agenda. He took pride in his
appearance whilst making minimal effort. Although when Crystal’s friends all became
obsessed with giving each other facials at sleepovers, he did succumb to letting Crystal
practice her technique on him.

The life of a girl dad proved to be a never-ending voyage of
discovery.

“Mr Webster?” the exquisite specimen said.

“Um…yes.”

“Eddie Channing. From Pleasure Seekers. We have an
appointment?”

“That’s right.”

“Sorry, Mr Channing,” Harry said as he pushed past Billy.
“My brother appears to have let the heat get to him. I’m Harry and this is Billy.”

Eddie shook his hand. “That’s better. I’d get confused
dealing with two Mr Websters.”

Billy got a hold of himself and forced his brain to focus. “My
apologies, Mr…Eddie. I don’t know what came over me.”

This man intrigued Eddie. “Don’t worry about it. As long as I
have the bragging rights. It’s not every day I make a handsome man lose his words. My
flatmates will be amazed.”

Did he just call me handsome?

Billy refused to let his emotions take control. This was
important. He wouldn’t fall for a salesman’s tactics.

He held his hand out. When Eddie took it, Billy tried his
best to ignore the spark of electricity that fizzed through him.

“Would you like to come through?” Billy said.

“I’ll put the closed sign on,” Harry chipped in.

“No n—” Billy started.

Harry widened his eyes at him. “Probably for the
best.”

Suddenly, Billy saw how wildly out of his depth he was.
Harry seemed to be treating this like one of his fights. He was ducking and weaving all over
the place. Billy had never been any good at games.

That was probably why they were about to go bust.

He led Eddie through. The close proximity making his heart
beat a little faster. However, those few steps gave him the chance to get it together.

“Take a seat,” he said. “Can I get you a drink? It’s hot
today.”

“No, I’m good,” Eddie said.

Billy took his usual seat at the little desk. He gestured for
Eddie to take the armchair that Crystal usually sat in to do her homework.

Harry soon followed them and perched delicately on the
remaining stool. He was far too big for it. Billy prayed to everything holy that it wouldn’t
collapse under him.

Why didn’t I give him this seat? Fuck’s sake, calm down.
It doesn’t matter.

Blurb

Clyde’s idyllic afternoon in the surf with his mates is
interrupted by the news that there’s been a quadruple suicide in an apartment overlooking

the beach.

Two of the deceased are the parents of Barry Wilkinson,
one of Clyde’s childhood friends, a man he hasn’t seen since Clyde donned the khaki and left
for war. Wilkinson engages Clyde to discover the identity of a mysterious woman who has
been left a huge sum of money in his father’s will.

On the surface, what appears to be a straightforward case
evolves into a complex story of deception, lies, violence and murder. Relationships are
tested, new ones formed and Clyde discovers that those connections that seem unrelated
are closely linked behind a veil of secrecy.

The early summer of 1957 is a time in which Clyde nearly
loses everything he holds dear—his own life included—all because of two couples who died
while playing bridge at the beach.

 

Excerpt

My awareness of Harry’s arrival was having my swimming
trunks pulled down to my ankles then a grinning redhead surfacing between Mark and
me.

“Take your foot off my cozzies, Jones,” I said, trying not to
laugh and vainly struggling to pull them back on.

“Did he pants you?” Mark asked.

“Yes, and if it wasn’t for you, Mark,” Harry said, “I’d be
twirling them over my head and racing him to the beach.”

A large wave slapped us in the face; we’d been so busy
laughing none of us had spotted it.

“I’ve ordered a float for Mark,” Harry said to me. “Do you
think you could pick it up while I chat with my favourite dick?”

“Don’t take him out too far,” I replied, smiling at Harry’s
purposeful innuendo. Mark’s eye-roll was slight, but noticeable.

“I’m not totally clueless, Clyde. I know he can’t swim. I just
want to show him how to use the float and see if we can’t catch a few waves.”

“All right. See you in a bit.”

I put my shoulder into the next decent breaker and body-
surfed to the beach. I recognised the lad in charge of the float rentals. We locals called them
floats or floaters, but to visitors they were known by their brand name: Surfoplanes. The
long black rubber blow-up surfboard-type things were very popular with people from the
western suburbs who weren’t used to swimming in the ocean. They were very cheap: only
sixpence an hour to hire.

“How’s it going, Barney?” I asked. “I thought you were
working for my mate Craig at his pool these days?”

“Nice to see you, Mr. Smith,” he replied, his eyes fixed on
the front of my swimmers. “When are you going to wear those sexy yellow speedos I keep
hearing about?”

“You know I’m taken, Barney, and you get to see me naked
nearly every morning at the pool …”

“Yes, but somehow the way men fill out their cozzies and
imagining what’s hidden in them is far more alluring than the bare truth … not that you’ve
got anything to worry about on either count, Mr. Smith.”

I shook my head at his wink and was about to ask him
sarcastically how he knew what the word “alluring” meant when I heard someone call out
my name.

“Here, take your float, Mr. Smith,” Barney said. “I just need
to nick off for a second.”

It was when I turned that I understood Barney’s sudden
disappearance. “Hello, Clyde,” the policeman said.

“Gidday, Dave. What brings you down to the beach … and in
uniform?”

“Looking for D.S. Dioli. He told me this morning at work that
he was having a half day off and spending the afternoon at the beach with you and your
mate Luka Praz.”

“He’s in the water. Want me to get him for you?”

“Bloody hot day like this, I’m tempted to take my clobber
off and go fetch him myself.”

“Problems at work?”

“Yeah, bad one, Clyde. Four dead. Looks like a suicide
pact.”

I whistled softly. “Where?”

He turned and pointed to the north end of the beach.
“Baden Street, number five, top floor.”

“What, the Wilkinsons’ place?”

“You know them?”

“Sure thing, Dave. I hauled Sidney Wilkinson into the nick
countless times just after I first started. Petty stuff, mostly: handling stolen goods,
moneylending, associating with known criminals. He was the lowest of the low back then,
but out of the blue opened a jewellery shop up at Peter’s Corner and seemed to have gone
straight. Suicide? You said there were four dead?”

“I don’t know much about it yet. But the D.I. told me to
bring D.S. Dioli in; he wants him on the case.”

I snorted. Typical of Brendan, telling Mark to fuck off and
take a break because he was annoyed with him, next minute calling him into work by
sending a constable on the first half day Mark had taken in ages. Although Brendan was a
very close friend, when it came to business there were very strict lines never to be crossed
that sometimes challenged our friendship.

“Are we still on for tonight, Clyde?”

“Of course we are. Last revision on forensic procedures,
after which you’ll piss in your detective’s exam on Thursday morning.”

“What will I bring?”

“Just yourself. I’m cooking Moroccan food. Harry will be
home at half six—he’s in charge of dessert—and we’ll eat around half past seven if that suits
you.”

“Thanks. I owe you one.”

“You owe me more than one, Dave. But seeing I used to
babysit you when you were a toddler, I feel you’re part of the family. Now, I better go get
Mark.”

“Clyde …”

“Yes, mate?”

“There’s another personal thing I want to talk to you about
sometime. Can I take you out for a bite to eat or for a beer sometime?”

“Why not tonight over dinner? Harry’s
trustworthy.”

“I’d rather it be just between you and me.”

“Trouble with Katie?”

“Well … sort of, but as I said, it’s personal.”

“Any night but Wednesday, Dave.”

“Thanks, Clyde.”

As I ran down the beach with the float under my arm, I
glanced up over the north end. Had I not been looking for them, I may not have noticed how
many cars were parked outside number 5 Baden Street.

Jerico is about to meet
two figures from his past.

One filled with love, the
other consumed by vengeance.

 

Blurb

The coastal town of Nyemouth is the perfect location for
celebrity chef Jerico Osman to fulfil a lifetime ambition. With it’s stunning harbour and brisk
holiday trade, there’s no better place for him to open his first restaurant. It’s a dream that
has been a decade in the making. But there’s another attraction in Nyemouth, one Jerico
was completely unaware of.

Andy Quinn is content with his life. He has a great job
managing Quay House, the popular waterfront hotel, and a peaceful home with a cat called
Patches. Andy spent his twenties working in the cruise industry, exploring the world and has
finally settled in his home town of Nyemouth. Those years at sea were a time of adventure
and discovery, including a ship bound romance with a young Jerico. After fifteen years, Andy
doubts the famous chef will even remember him, but from the moment they reconnect, the
time they spent apart falls away.

Andy isn’t the only figure from Jerico’s past. A week before
the restaurant is due to open, an act of reckless sabotage puts everything he cares about in
danger, including Andy. Jerico has made an enemy, someone who will stop at nothing to see
his long-realised dream become a nightmare. As a plan for vengeance is played out, who will
survive until the end?

Fall in love with compelling new characters and rediscover
some old favourites in the fifth and final instalment of the Jagged Shores series.

 

Excerpt

The evenings in Nyemouth were beautiful in the summer,
when the blue sky was transformed to the most startling shades of purple, pink and red. It
was Andy’s favourite time of the year, and tonight, it was even better, as he walked the
South Point cliff with Jerico.

“It reminds me of all those sunsets we saw when we were
at sea,” Jerico remarked.

Andy nodded his agreement. “I come up here a lot when I
have the time, if I get finished at the hotel early enough. It helps me to relax. At this time of
year, there’s nothing I like more.”

“It seems like you’ve always been drawn to the
sea.”

“Mmm, probably. I grew up at the coast, worked on ships. I
can’t imagine ever being far away from it.”

He was aware of Jerico watching him and tried to keep his
gaze on the path ahead, though the temptation to turn and feast his own eyes was huge.
Instead, he filled his lungs with the salty air coming from the water. Up here, the sticky heat
of the hotel and the town centre was forgotten.

“What did you do?” Jerico asked. “After we lost touch. You
have me at a disadvantage. You can find out about me online, everything I’ve ever done is
there. But you, apart from your professional CV, there’s nothing.”

Now Andy could not resist looking at him, raising a
bemused eyebrow. “So, you’ve been cyber-stalking me?”

“Doesn’t everyone?”

His brown skin looked glorious in the evening light. Andy’s
mouth was dry. Jerico looked more handsome than he’d ever known him. How had they
come to be here, after all this time? Andy knew he wasn’t dreaming. This was very
real.

He wet his lips. “It’s a similar story to your own. I kept
working at sea until I was around thirty.”

“Doing the same as before? Excursions and tours?”

“For a while, yes. But when I moved to another cruise
company, an opportunity arose to join the hotel management side of the ship, and I found I
enjoyed that even more. I became Deputy Hotel Manager after just two years. I loved being
on the ships. I’m so glad I did all that. For a young guy in his twenties to travel the world and
see all those places, how many people are lucky enough to do that?”

Jerico nodded. “It was great, though I don’t miss the force-
eleven gales and ten-metre waves.”

Andy laughed. “Yeah, I think I’ve pushed those to the back
of my mind and just remember the calm waters and sunsets.”

“I remember some really bad nights, trying to sing and
dance while the stage was going up and down beneath my feet.” He gave a dramatic
shudder and chuckled.

“But look at it now,” Andy said, gesturing to the peaceful
North Sea. Tonight, there wasn’t even a white cap to ruffle its surface. “When I see it like
this, I do miss being out there.”

“Would you ever go back? To working on the
ships?”

“Nah. Been there, done that. I’m happy here. I’ve got my
dream job and my family close by. I’ve seen almost all the world has to offer, so now I’m
content to stay home. How about you?”

“I’ve done a couple of themed culinary cruises in the last
few years—guest speaking and cookery demonstrations, that kind of thing. It’s a lot different
on the other side. The guest staterooms are a lot nicer than those tiny crew cabins we had to
stay in.”

“I’ll bet. That’s something I’ve never done, experiencing a
cruise ship from a passenger perspective. I imagine it’s a different world from what we were
used to.”

“Yeah, but when you’re young, you don’t care, do you? You
just need a place to sleep and shag. They could have put me in a cupboard, and I’d have
been happy.” He gave Andy a flirtatious wink.

“I remember what you were like, all right.”

They paused and stood side by side and looking out to sea
together. For a moment, Andy lost himself in those memories…of standing on the deck of a
ship or the shores of exotic countries with Jerico. Were those the best days of his life? No, he
decided. The best days were still ahead of him.
Be positive and keep moving forward.

It had gone eight o’clock. “I’m getting hungry,” he said. “Do
you fancy something to eat?”

“Starving,” Jerico said. “What do you suggest?”

Love, Longing, Great
Magic, and a Fat Orange Cat.

Blurb

Alex, Imara, and Sirenī thwarted the Unified Government’s
relentless edicts and fled their homeworld of Gaea to seek refuge elsewhere in the Ring of
Worlds. Hunted by the elite squadrons of Zeta Force and the Tèng Empire’s Dragon Guard,
the Three encountered a new problem as soon as they arrived on Earth: Jack Carter, the man
tasked with killing them. Carter expected to kill the Three or die trying, but instead, he
traveled along with them. The four strangers must settle into a new life on their adopted
world with the people they first met: Jordan McInerney and Richard Bryson.

Maria McInerney, Jordan’s grandmother, helped Alex,
Imara, and Sirenī decades before when they briefly stopped on Earth during their quest to
defeat Sogma. Meeting Jordan is like coming full circle, and the travelers work to settle into
their new life. While adjusting to Earth, the people of Gaea quickly realize that their grand
reunion was merely the beginning of their journey. Not everything on Earth is as it seems,
and the dark magic of the necromancer has yet to manifest.

Please note:

The central narrative follows a group of main characters
engaged in a polyamorous relationship. Initially, the relationship comprises one man and
two women, evolving to include an additional man, forming a balanced quartet where each
individual shares a deep, equitable connection with the others. Although the story is rooted
in the genres of epic and urban fantasy, rather than romance, it includes moments of
intimacy that encompass a spectrum of orientations and identities, including interactions
among women, men, and supernatural beings such as vampires. Additionally, the narrative
features a secondary character who identifies as non-binary. The same gender relations are
blatant.



Excerpt

“Carter says those two people have been following us since
we left the house,” Jordan whispered to Imara and Sirenī as she pretended to browse the
women’s clothes. “He added that if you don’t do something about it, he will.”

“I know,” Imara said placidly. “They’ve been talking about
us. I think they’re also flirting, but I’m not certain.”

Jordan watched Imara turn her gaze to Sirenī; she swore
she could feel a conversation between them even though neither said a word. After a few
seconds, Imara smiled and glanced at the suspected spies. The man looked to be in his
forties, while the woman seemed younger.

She was an athletic-looking natural blonde, clearly of
Scandinavian extraction, and had bright blue eyes. They weren’t as luminous as Alex’s, but
they had that icy look that so many people found alluring.

“We’ll handle it,” Sirenī assured Jordan. “I’d prefer not to
make a scene. Muscles probably isn’t the most discreet at things like this.”

***

Drëndi breezed by in feigned excitement as she looked at a
shirt that, Brent thought, would flatter her lithe, fit form.

Contemplating Drëndi’s fitness made him think of his own,
which was poor. Watching the jacked fellow who’d gone into the dressing room made him
think about his health. Brent wasn’t obese and out of shape, but he wasn’t as fit as his
partner, either. She took her health more seriously than he took his, but maybe it was time
for him to change that.

Fabric rustled nearby. He looked up from the shirt he was
pretending to contemplate and froze for an instant as he stared into the sharp eyes of one of
the two women. She stood two steps away, studying him.

Damn it! How’d she get so close?

***

Drëndi flinched and clapped a hand to her cheek. It felt like
someone just flicked her! She looked around and saw one of the women they’d been
surveilling next to Brent. The woman raised a hand and beckoned haughtily, and Drëndi
slunk over, still rubbing her cheek.

“Did you do that?” she asked the stranger.

The PID agent was more curious than upset. The woman
stood still and appeared to study Drëndi and Brent. She noticed that the stranger’s pupils
didn’t contract or dilate, but was that odd? Walmart’s lighting wasn’t great.

The woman spoke; her voice was calm and strangely
resonant. Drëndi looked at her partner and wondered if the hairs on the back of his neck
were standing on end, too.

“I did. I’m curious why you’ve been following us. I’ve heard
you two talking about us since you were out in the parking lot.” She paused, then added,
“And Carter noticed you following us in your vehicle when we left the house.”

“Huh…” Brent grunted.

He looked at Drëndi, and she knew he was thinking the
same thing: if the stranger had heard the two agents talking from such a distance, her
hearing was well beyond the average.

“That’s some sharp hearing you have,” her partner
observed.

Drëndi looked at him like, Really, Brent? He shrugged with
a small, crooked smile.

“You have no idea,” the woman said dryly. She narrowed
her dark eyes slightly. “We’re not being secretive, you know. My name is Imara Inanna. My
companions are Sirenī Adamma and Jack Carter. Our Earthen companion is Jordan
McInerney. Now, why are you following us?”

Can Ben and Erik put
the pieces together to solve the case, or when the cards are dealt, will they be left holding

the dead man’s hand

Blurb

Weird things are happening again in Cape May and the ghosts of old mobsters never
rest easy.


Erik Mitchell gets a strange delivery of antique
poker chips with odd markings tied to a casino that burned a century ago. Ben Nolan finds a
dead guy in one of his rental units—turns out the guy’s been missing for twenty years and is
linked to a long-lost treasure.

The ghostly energy of the old Commodore Wilson hotel
juices up all the town’s spirits, and a stranger shows up with an unhealthy interest in both
cases. Ben and Erik have just moved in together, and they’re still navigating the next step as
partners and blending their lives.

Murder, missing persons, hidden treasure, and haunted
poker chips. Can Ben and Erik put the pieces together to solve the case, or when the cards
are dealt, will they be left holding the dead man’s hand?

Last Resort
is a suspenseful MM paranormal romance mystery-adventure filled with second
chance love, hurt/comfort, true soulmates, old curses, hidden treasure, dangerous secrets,
restless ghosts, psychic visions, powerful witches, angry mobsters, and a very haunted
hotel.

Excerpt

“This brings back memories.” Ben Nolan and his partner carried the last boxes up the
stairs. “I spent too many Saturdays in my twenties helping my friends move in and out of
apartments for free pizza and beer.”
“Look at it as a built-in fitness workout,” Erik Mitchell, his boyfriend, replied. “The good
thing is that most days, you don’t need to go up and down more than once.”
“I’m sure I can come up with reasons to stay in.” Ben dripped his voice to a sexy growl
and gave Erik a knowing look.
Erik shook his head fondly. “Sounds good—but we still need to go to work
sometime.”
Erik owned Trinkets, the antique shop in the first floor of the old Victorian house where
their apartment took up the second level. “Can’t beat the commute,” he added.”
“True—and mine’s still totally walkable unless the weather is foul.” Ben managed Nolan
Resort Real Estate, owned by his aunt and uncle. Until recently, he had stayed in one of the
company’s rentals. Ben had moved in with Erik a few months ago, but forgotten about a
stack of boxes that were still stored in Trinkets’ back room.
The important stuff had already found a place in the apartment. Now Ben needed to
figure out what in these last boxes to keep or toss. He’d packed long enough ago that he had
forgotten what remained.
“Actually, I was surprised how fast I got used to the stairs,” Erik told him. “My place in
Atlanta had an elevator, but nowhere near the charm.”
Both Ben and Erik had recently moved to Cape May, New Jersey to make a fresh start
after their old lives went off the rails. Ben stepped away from being a Newark cop after a
betrayal and a near-fatal shooting, and becoming a private investigator had left him burned
out and bitter. Erik left his high-profile work stopping art fraud and antiquities smugglers
when a bust gone wrong nearly got him killed—and his boyfriend cheated. Differing
circumstances led them to Cape May and chance brought them together, but Ben thanked
his lucky stars every day for how things had turned out.

“Now we just have to figure out what’s worth keeping.” Ben surveyed the stacks of boxes in
the living room. “We already have an interesting decorating style.”

They had found a quirky way to blend his statues of Spider-Man and Optimus Prime
and wall art of some of his favorite comics and sci-fi movies with Erik’s more traditional
taste, honed by his work for art museums.
“Bring it on,” Erik said with a laugh. “It’s good to shake things up.”
Ben reeled him in for a kiss. “I can think of ways to get a whole lotta shakin’ going on,”
he growled.
Erik kissed him and stepped away. “Hold that thought. We need to be able to navigate
through the living room, so the boxes can’t stay—which means unpacking.”
“Spoil sport,” Ben grumbled good-naturedly.

Love, Longing, Great
Magic, and a Fat Orange Cat.

Blurb

Foreseeing the annihilation of Gaea by the Tèng Empire and
the demonic Sogma, Alexander Eldred and his allies, Imara Inanna and Sirenī Adamma,
marshaled their magic to thwart the calamity. Their triumph brought them back to their
homeland of Demurria, only to be sundered by a government edict citing their immense
combined strength as a threat: Alex is a magical prodigy and never forgets a spell once he’s
seen it written or cast. Imara hears the universe as a symphony and can control reality with
her voice. Sirenī is blessed with fatal beauty, a power so great it can compel into obsession
any who behold her.

After fifty years of enforced separation, compelled by a
fresh premonition, Alex challenges the mandate to reunify with Imara and Sirenī. This time,
the peril extends beyond Gaea, endangering the entirety of the Ring of Worlds, threatened
by a formidable necromancer’s dark influence. To prevent the spread of this malignant
corruption across myriad planets, the trio must reunite and elude the Unified Government’s
grasp, racing against time to safeguard the future.

Please note: The central narrative follows a group of main
characters engaged in a polyamorous relationship. Initially, the relationship comprises one
man and two women, evolving to include an additional man, forming a balanced quartet
where each individual shares a deep, equitable connection with the others. Although the
story is rooted in the genres of epic and urban fantasy, rather than romance, it includes
moments of intimacy that encompass a spectrum of orientations and identities, including
interactions among women, men, and supernatural beings such as vampires. Additionally,
the narrative features a secondary character who identifies as non-binary. The same gender
relations are blatant.

Excerpt

Barefoot, Alexander left the primary bedroom and walked
through the quiet halls of Eldred Manor. He descended to the first floor and passed the
library on his way to the workroom. Once there, he stepped through the large double doors
and shut them.

The room was massive and had Spaera Mystica—arcane circles
for conjuration—etched into the floor in varying sizes. He stepped over to a small one and
held out his hands with his palms facing up. An orange-red glow flared around them, and he
began to chant in his natal tongue.

Within moments, mist began to swirl above the sigils etched
into the floor. He continued to chant until a hemispherical dome flared into existence,
shimmering with striations of faint color like a rainbow. He turned his palms down and
changed his chant.

Now the ancient syllables of Darhavil rolled from his lips, and
mist filled the Spaera Mystica. Alexander finished his spell, dropped his hands to his sides,
and waited. It took several minutes for a figure to appear in the mist, insubstantial and
amorphous but irradiant.

“Alexander,” the figure said. The voice had a tremulous quality
but was easy to hear. “Why have you reached out to me?”

Alexander bowed his head briefly. “I apologize, Valas. I have
been feeling something, a sensation at the back of my mind. The only thing I could think to
do was contact you.”

The agglomeration of colors spun like fluid inside the mist-filled
hemisphere of the magic circle. The flashes of light occasionally suggested a beaked head,
wings, and a long, feathered tail. Alexander watched the manifestation patiently. Subtle
anxiety had been building in his mind, urging him to action.

“The patterns suggest an inflection point formed sixteen
million years before this moment. Beginning now, the probabilities unravel,” the figure told
him.

That was interesting information. Opaque but interesting.
What is the inflection point? Was it related to the events of my dream? Can I recover
them with a waking dream enchantment?

The Grade Five magic was only as reliable as the ephemeral
threads of the mind—so not very.

The sorcerer bowed his head again. “Thank you, Valas. I
appreciate your willingness to communicate with me.”

“You are welcome.” The figure began to dwindle; the light
faded at the edges into eldritch sparks that winked out as they drifted toward the floor. “I
would add one last thing: the time is upon you. You cannot wait.”

Alexander froze. “Are you certain?” he stupidly asked.

Valas Amris is a celestial being. Of course, it is
certain!
he thought scathingly.

The figure faded until only the mist on the floor remained
within the Spaera Mystica, but Valas murmured one last sentence.

“Yes. Complete your work with Skawen’na’há:wi. You are
close.”

Alexander took a deep breath as the mist drained into nothing.
He released the magic circle with a snap of his fingers and stood there for a long time. His
thoughts were jumbled and raced in circles. He felt excitement, anticipation, nervousness,
and fear.

After several minutes of stillness, he stirred and turned from
the symbols carved into the floor. He retreated from the workroom and planned to return to
his bedroom. Instead, he detoured into the library and sat in his favorite chair. Around him
were more than a thousand books, including tomes, treatises, and grimoires. He looked at
them with unseeing eyes, wrapped in his thoughts. They ran to the two people he loved
most: Imara and Sirenī. He hadn’t seen them in a long time, but that was about to
change.

Once he finished his training, of course.

Alexander remained in the library until dawn. He blinked when
the sun shone through the windows and stabbed his eyes. Turning his head, he cracked his
neck and looked around. He’d contemplated and discarded a dozen plans in the few hours it
took for the sun to rise.

What is the best way to make contact? he
wondered.

Imara lived in Louden, Sirenī in Glendale. He drummed his
fingers on his thigh, brow furrowed. Nothing came to him.

Still, he left the library with a bounce in his step. In his heart,
he felt excited by what was coming. For almost fifty years, he’d had a lump of stone in his
chest, but now he felt it begin to soften and pulse once more.

As Search for Complete left off, the birth of his twins had just completed
Christopher. However, though he has what he had searched so long for, he now must deal
with the associated costs, namely the unraveling of his relationship with Laura, the mother
of his twins. The birth of the twins should have brought Laura joy, yet, instead, she finds
herself on an intense emotional rollercoaster. Laura resents Christopher’s
happiness—resents that he is a better mother than she is. But most of all, Laura
resents that the twins are Christopher’s spitting image—nowhere does she see herself in
them. Christopher fears his happiness in becoming a father has become Laura’s undoing. As
he tries to help her adjust to the reality of their situation, Laura struggles to find herself in
the tangled mess of their relationship.

In The Price of Happiness, Stephen Hardy has created a profound and moving

Christopher has settled into life as a single father to his twins, Loren and Christine. Content
with his life, he is contemplating the imminent return of their mother Laura, who has been
traveling through Europe for nearly a year, when he meets Benjamin, a direct descendant of
the sun. Suddenly, his contentment is upended as he tries to understand the reason for their
meeting. Despite what Benjamin says, that they are meant to be together, Christopher
initially tries to hold

Benjamin at arm’s length, believing that he is only to be for Benjamin what Joseph was to
him—a friend and mentor.

 

Excerpt from Book 1

I began to question accepting Laura’s invitation when I
heard the noise coming from the backyard as we approached the house. I disliked crowds,
and it sounded like an immense crowd was on the other side of the gate.

People were everywhere—seated on lounge chairs
scattered around the patio or at the rectangular dining table or milling about in various
groups—talking loudly over the blaring music. Laura’s voice broke through the noise.

“I don’t see Peter anywhere. He might be inside. Shall we
find him?”

“By all means. I would feel uncomfortable attending his
party without meeting him.”

I followed Laura into the house. As we passed through the
living room, my eyes fell on a few framed photos of a handsome couple on the wall.

In the kitchen, a solitary male figure was removing a tray of
croissants from the oven.

“Hello, Peter.”

As he turned around, I recognized Peter as one of the men
in the photos. Tall and slender, with dark hair and a mustache waxed into handlebars, there
was a dapperness to him that I found pleasing.

“Hey, Laura. Lovely to see you!”

After setting the hot tray down, Peter hugged her.

“Peter, I want you to meet Christopher. He just moved here
from Seattle and works with me at the station.”

“How do you do, Peter?“

Having grown used to the reaction my presence caused, I
smiled patiently as Peter, unable to speak right away, shook my offered hand.

“I hope you do not mind my crashing your party. Laura
assured me that you would not object to her bringing me.”

“No, of course, I don’t mind.”

The words tumbled out one on top of the other.

“Is there anything we can do to assist you?”

“No, I have it all under control, thanks. Please help yourself
to the food and drinks out on the patio.”

“We will. Thanks,” Laura said, taking my arm and steering
me back through the living room.

“Peter is very nice,” I commented as we stepped through
the doors and headed towards the drinks table. “Can I make you something?”

“A mimosa, thanks. Yes, Peter’s a sweetie.”

We stood sipping our drinks as I scanned the crowd of
mostly men, a mix of young and old, before Laura took me around, introducing me to the
people she knew.

I instinctively searched their eyes for the essence of
another while ignoring Laura’s scrutinizing gaze.

Laura needed to use the bathroom, so she left me standing
under the large Ficus tree where we had sought shade from the sun. Within minutes of her
departure, I was surrounded by a large group of people vying for my attention. Carrying on
multiple conversations was challenging, but I did my best to make each person feel they had
my full attention.

He caught my attention on the periphery of my vision: tall
and well-built, resembling the small statue of the god Mars that sat on the table in Joseph’s
shop. Our eyes met, and I felt my heart skip a beat, seeing something flash in his eyes.
Smiling hopefully, I extended my hand to him.

“Hello, my name is Christopher Dunn.”

As he shook my hand, I took the opportunity to search his
golden-brown eyes. My initial hope turned to disappointment, for while something was
there, it was not another’s essence. Though disappointed, I was intrigued.

“Davidmartelli.”

He slurred the two names into one in his haste to get the
words out.

As I gazed into his eyes, the feeling of a purpose to our
meeting appeared—first Laura and now David.

“It is a pleasure to meet you, David Martelli,” I said, saying
his name distinctly.

David blushed attractively, causing a twinge in my
heart.

“Can I get you a drink?”

He looked so crestfallen when I held up my cup that I was
tempted to down my drink and ask him for another.

“Oh, you have one.”

“I do, but I appreciate you asking.”

I gave him a smile to back up my words. It was apparent
that David was struggling to find something to say, the frustration evident in his handsome
features. I wanted to get him away from the people surrounding us and talk to him alone,
but I did not see how I could do so without offending everyone else.

Conscious of the eyes watching us, David blushed again and
backed away.

For some reason, I knew that this behavior was out of
character for him. Watching him walk away, I hoped we would meet again as I wanted to
discover what I saw in his eyes.

THE JAGGED SHORES SERIES

Book 1: North Point

Will an idyllic summer holiday lead Arnie to the love of his life, or the end of it?

Blurb

It should be the start of a perfect vacation. After a period of stress, Arnie Walker takes his nine-year-old son AJ home for the holidays. Arnie grew up in Nyemouth, a picturesque fishing town on the North-East coast of England, and he wants AJ to experience the kind of carefree, endless summer he enjoyed as a boy. It’s a short-lived dream. While taking an evening walk along the North Point cliff, Arnie and AJ witness a murder attempt.

For the volunteer crew of Nyemouth Lifeboat Station, it’s a rescue mission like none before, Helmsman Dominic Melton is part of the team who rescue the victim from the deadly North Sea. When Arnie and Dominic come together in the aftermath of the attack, the attraction is instant. Arnie isn’t looking for a relationship. He’s committed to his son’s well-being and has no time for a distraction like Dominic, even though the handsome ex-naval officer is hard to dismiss. Is it possible for Arnie to fulfill his promises to AJ while falling for Dominic?

Despite the distraction, a fledgling killer remains at large. As feelings between Arnie and Dominic develop, so does the danger they are in. North Point may be a beautiful place to fall in love, but it could also be the most dangerous.

Book 2: Safe Harbour

https://books2read.com/u/mvoLJ2

Two lovers seek shelter in a storm of jealousy and passion

Blurb

Matt arrives in the seaside town of Nyemouth for a much-needed vacation. As a successful lawyer, Matt has a hectic career, and with an ex-husband still pestering him for money, he is long overdue a break. A holiday home perched above the town and its breath-taking harbour seems like the perfect place to unwind. Matt can’t wait to explore the beautiful, jagged shorelines and lose himself for a couple of weeks.

Jake has made a home in Nyemouth. After growing up in the city, living on the coast is everything to him. Running a business with his sister and volunteering on the crew of the local lifeboat, he is exactly where he wants to be. But Jake’s life is far from peaceful. Though he left his domineering husband Vince a year ago, Vince refuses to consent to a divorce or loosen his controlling hold on Jake.

On Matt’s first night in town, he encounters the couple having a blazing row. When Vince turns violent, Matt intervenes and takes Jake inside to escape his angry ex. Despite what happened, Matt feels a powerful attraction to the younger man. Jake is bright, endearing and unbelievably attractive, but the young man’s life is complicated. Matt already has enough problems of his own. He came away looking for an escape, not a starry-eyed distraction. As Matt and Jake get to know each other better, the gamble on a holiday romance becomes hard for either of them to resist. They have both been unlucky in love before. Maybe this time will be different.

Vince will not be shaken off so easily. He has no intention of letting Jake go…ever. As Matt’s and Jake’s emotions deepen, they do not understand how far Vince will take things to keep his husband. As far as Vince is concerned, they made a vow to each other… “till death do us part.”

He hires local tour guide and fisherman Harry Renner to help him explore the coastline for a couple of days. Harry is knowledgeable and mature beyond his twenty-eight years. Handsome too, though Christian thinks Harry is far too young for him..

As the weather worsens, Harry cuts short their first sight-seeing trip. Heading back to shore they spot a figure in distress in the water. A difficult rescue is made far worse when they discover the casualty has a knife wound to his abdomen and dies before they reach the safety of the harbour.

Book 4: Cold Day Dawning

Danger comes in the cold of morning

Blurb 

It should be the perfect weekend away. Dalton Caine makes the long journey to Nyemouth to attend a party hosted by his sister. Catherine is estranged from most of the family, but Dalton feels the time has come to build bridges between them. Things don’t turn out how he wants, however, when Catherine gives him a cold reception at the party. But the evening is not a complete waste of time when he meets local photographer Antoni.

Following a near-fatal attack six months earlier, Antoni has struggled with his physical and mental recovery. Catherine’s party is the first time he has been out at night since then, and he’s ready for an early exit when he meets Dalton. The stranger is warm, friendly and incredibly handsome. When Antoni overcomes his reservations and accepts a drink at Dalton’s hotel, it could be the start of something new for them both.

Despite the joy of fresh romance, things soon take a darker turn. The morning after the party, Catherine’s boyfriend reports her missing. Dalton isn’t initially concerned. Catherine has disappeared of her own will before, and he’s more interested in getting to know Antoni, but the men soon find themselves at the centre of a twisted mystery, one that puts both of their lives at risk.

Reader advisory: This book contains violence, murder, PTSD, memories of a child in danger and mental illness. Although it can be read as a stand-alone, this book is best read as part of a series.
