To Save His Prince excerpt

Holding cover for

To Save His Prince

Working Blurb:

Emory is a humble kitchen servant intent on working hard so he can continue to earn his daily crust of bread. It is a thankless, back-breaking job but it is exactly where Emory wants to be. In the magnificent West Quay castle. Because that is where the incredibly handsome, extremely talented Crown Prince Riffyn lived. The beautiful, kind and attentive man had stolen Emory’s heart years before when he rescued him and his mother from a band of thieves. Now Emory’s only wish is to be close, so he can simply admire and serve the man. A prince who seems he just might feel something for Emory as well.

But evil walks the halls of the castle, and Emory stumbles on a plot to kill the prince. Of course, being a lowly servant, no one believes him, including Riffyn. Luckily he haphazardly thwarted the plot, putting his own life in jeopardy but unfortunately did not stop the threat to the prince. He needs to convince Riffyn of the danger, but how?

Especially, now, after it is announced that it is time for the prince to marry and produce an heir to the throne. Even as Emory’s heart breaks because of this, three separate kingdoms are bringing their eligible princesses to vie for the prince’s hand. And then, to top it off, Emory discovered some of these princesses are using magic to enchant the prince to love them against his will.  Are these princesses part of some plan to overthrow the kingdom? Or are they somehow connected to the evil plot to kill the prince? Either way, Emory must find a way to save his prince.

Interview with King Diagus

An interview with King Diagus from

The Servant Crown

We are talking with King Diagus Amar of Blade Rain. Thank you for having us, Your Majesty.

No problem.

So, let’s start with this castle. Blade Rain. Pretty intimidating if you ask me.

(Looks around) No. Just your average 300 room castle.

Haunted?

(Smirks) Aren’t they all?

With ghosts?

Naturally.

Oh! I would love to see a ghost!

(Cocks his head narrowing his eyes) I would just let them be if I were you.

Let them be? No! Let’s not! Please, tell me about some of the ghosts that walk these halls.

(Grinning) Not my stories to tell but you’re welcome to stay the night and see if any of them might indulge you.

Really? That would be wonderful!

(Chuckle)

Speaking of ghosts, what can you tell me about Ice Dragon Pass? Is it truly cursed?

Absolutely.

How do you know?

Stories from the unbelievers who arrogantly go in late, thinking they would prove otherwise, and actually make it back out. Oddly, the stories vary. From shadows coming to life to pitfalls suddenly opening underneath travelers, to shifting pathways that lead to dead ends, no two accounts have been the same. But it only proves the curse does exist with stories like that.

Why is it cursed? Who cursed it?

That knowledge was never passed down. I’m afraid no one knows why…or who.

Wow. Really? That seems so strange.

I thought so, too. But I have read every book in this castle, every account of every session of every king since when they began to write these things down. I’ve talked to minstrels, young and old, who would have the knowledge in songs or poems that the books do not and …nothing. It’s as if the spirits don’t want us to know.

Wouldn’t it make some sense that it was a witch, perhaps from Dark Marsh, that did it? Who else would have the power?

(Shrugs) Maybe. Dark Marsh is a very mysterious place.

What can you tell me about Dark Marsh?

Not much. I’ve only been there once and honestly don’t plan on visiting again any time soon.

(Nods) Yes. You were there once when you save Tama and Aydin, his son.

Actually, Aydin is my son, Tama’s nephew. And I wasn’t the one who did the saving.

What happened?

(Sigh) Again, I’m not sure. I really wasn’t much of a witness. That would be a question to direct to Tama.

Is he here?

Of course. With his ability to attract trouble, he is no longer allowed out of my sight.

Are you serious?

(Laughs) No. He might be smaller than me but he is very capable of taking care of himself. And our little man.

Ah, the little man. What’s it like to be a father?

(Laughs again) I’m still learning. I will tell you one thing, it’s exhausting.

I understand he can wield a little magic?

No, not Aydin. But he does have a toy rabbit that Tama made. That thing seems to be filled with magic. It seems to act as a strong barrier between Aydin and evil. Probably a good thing in this…haunted castle. (Wink)

Oh. We’re back to that, are we? So, tell me, have you seen any?

Ghosts? Nope. Tama has though. At least, that’s what he tells me.

Really?

Being a healer he seems to be much more aware of things like that. He has a way with plants and herbs, things like that. He has a vast knowledge about many things that are natural and maybe more than a few that are un-natural. (Shrugs) I don’t question it.

Tama has seem ghosts wandering these halls? Has he been able to identify any?

Like who? Past kings? Past queens?

Have there been?

Well, I did read about an account from a past king about a tree he found in Raven Bog. The tree was large and formidable and in the way of a road the king wanted to build. The king ordered it cut down but his men all refused. Seemed there was an image of a face in the trunk and they all considered it sacred. The king looked for and found the face. I understand it was quite clear. Eyes, nose, mouth. Even teeth. But evidently the king was not impressed. The king ordered once again to cut it down although it took him a while to find enough men to do it. He then had it made into a footboard for his bed. (chuckle) Wouldn’t you know, the carpenter used that particular piece of wood with the face on it. Put it right there in the center so it could stare up at the king while he slept. Now, kings are not normally frightened of much. But after only a single night in that bed, the king had the footboard moved to a different bed in a far away room in the castle.

(Whispering) What happened to him?

The way the story is told, the king said the face in the footboard came to life in the middle of the night. It opened its mouth wide enough to swallow a man whole. It evidently tried to tip the bed so the king would roll right in, but its rotten, stinking breath woke the king and he was able to jump from the bed just in time, scraping an arm in the process. After hearing all the commotion, his guards rushed in but they found nothing out of the ordinary…except their king sitting on the floor with a bleeding arm. The face in the wood had returned to – well – not normal exactly. Seems there was a tiny trickle of blood coming from its wooden mouth.

Blood?  Is the footboard… is it still in the castle?

I’m not sure. I can’t imagine it’s not, but no one knows where it is. The servants say they have looked for it for years but none of the beds have a face on the footboard. However, the rumor is, it is on the hunt for human blood. Once it had a taste of it, it wants more.

So…

It wanders the castle. It might be able to travel from room to room, bed to bed, which is why no one can find it. (A door closes in the distance but a window rattles close by)

(Jumping and then looking frantically around) Maybe it’s wise we change the subject?

(Diagus yawned and stretched) Maybe it’s wise we head to bed. It’s late. I’ll have a servant show you to a room.

Ummm…a room? Bed? No. I mean, I don’t see any reason I need to stay overnight. I have plenty of story right here for my blog.

Ahhh. You mean you don’t want to catch a ghost?

Someone once told me to let them be! That’s what I always say, too. Let. Them. Be!

Awesome review for Hyden's Law

Check out the incredible review for HYDEN'S LAW

by Will's Word on Books!

Interview with Sawyer

Blurb:

Trace is nursing a broken heart. He lost his job, his boyfriend of two years was cheating on him, and his apartment building burned right to the ground with all his worldly possessions.  It was time for Trace to get out of Minnesota. 

So Trace heads for Texas and Riven Creek Ranch, the horse farm his aunt Lois owns. But hours before he arrives, Lois is in a terrible car accident that nearly takes her life, and Trace finds himself in charge of the ranch kitchen. Sounds simple enough and it's the least he can do for his recuperating aunt.  

Then Sawyer happens.

Sawyer is his aunt's big, beautiful, muscle bound, incredibly sexy straight ranch manager. Someone who has no clue Trace is gay. And meeting the big man should have been okay, except it was in the middle of his aunt's kitchen at five in the morning and Trace was nearly naked. Embarrassing? Yep. But the very next day Trace proceeded to ramp up his embarrassment by quantum leaps when he nearly sets his aunt's house on fire and the brooding Sawyer has to come to the rescue. 

Seems like Trace's "luck" followed him.

Not to mention that Aunt Lois's "accident" was actually attempted murder. And now, they just might want Trace dead, too. 

Can Trace figure out who's behind the attempts on his aunt's life AND keep Sawyer from finding out he's hot for the cowboy? 

He probably can’t. But he’s going to try.

Character interview with Sawyer Elliot

Thank you for talking with me this morning, Mr. Elliot. May I call you Sawyer?

Sure.

So you are the ranch manager here at Riven Creek Ranch. Can you tell me a little bit about your job?

Well, I’m in charge. All the ranch hands answer to me. I establish the work schedule and make sure everyone is properly trained and following procedures. We’re not overly staffed so everything is a delicate balance. (chuckles). Thankfully we all work well together. It’s not easy taking care of this facility. The maintenance alone is a full time job. 

It must be expensive to run this place.

Absolutely. I should know, too, since I have to put together the budget every year.

Care to share that figure with us?

I don’t think I should but it’s a crazy high one.

Is there a lot of paperwork that goes along with your job? This office you have is fairly large and there doesn’t seem to be a lack of paper on your desk.

There is a mountain of paperwork. From keeping personnel files on the employees to keeping accurate files on each and every horse on the ranch. We monitor weight, health, feed. When they last saw the vet or farrier. Horses tend to injure themselves, too, so we have to daily monitor that. And if an animal is sick or truly injured? Then let’s talk about paperwork! Not to mention all the state and federal regulations I need to keep up with along with repair records on all the equipment. So, yes, there is paperwork.

Tell me about your relationship with the ranch hands.

(Laughs) We have a good one. All of us. We’re more like a family here. I know a lot of places probably say that but here it’s the truth. These guys have my back and I have theirs.

What do you mean?

We work well together. Each of us pretty much knows what the other guy is thinking, what they need. My guys never question me and oftentimes don’t even need direction from me. They see what has to get done and they get it done.

How does that say family?

Well, maybe it doesn’t say family. It does shout respect. There is not one of these guys I wouldn’t take a bullet for. I think they would do the same for me.

So what about family? Where’s yours?

I don’t have one. I was an only child and my parents died a long time ago.

No aunts or uncles? Cousins?

Nope.

Love life?

(Laughs) Nope. Nada. Don’t believe in it.

You don’t believe in love?

I don’t believe there is that special someone out there for me.

Really? Why’s that?

Do you see him?

Him?

Yeah, I’m gay. So what? Everyone knows and they have no problem with it.

Wow. That alone is something, don’t you think?

Oh, don’t get me wrong. I had issues when I first took over. It’s taken five years to get the crew I have. That’s why I call them family because they accept me for who I am and respect me for the job I do. In turn, I put a lot on these boy’s shoulders and not once have they disappointed me.

So, none of them have caught your eye?

No.

That’s pretty definitive.

That’s because it is. And each and every one of them knows that.

That’s kind of sad.

A relationship would only mess things up.

I disagree.

What are you talking about?

I think you’re going to be surprised one day Sawyer Elliot. I think a very special man is going to walk into your life and turn you into a believer. And I think it’s going to be very soon. What do you say to that?

I’d say you’re crazy. It’s not going to happen.

Ha! Famous last words. (laughs)

GREAT REVIEW FOR HYDEN'S LAW

Submitted to All Romance By: honei on Apr 9, 2016

I absolutely love this story. Cosmo is a wonderful storyteller and with this twist of a shifter story you can't help but fall for Hyden and want to protect Graham. Great beginning hopefully to new series.

Thank you, honei! And, yes, this is a series. Mates, Inc. is part of it (no longer available but will be republished soon) and much more to come from this part of town.

REMINDER!

This is a FREE STORY!

HYDEN'S LAW IS AVAILABLE FOR DOWNLOAD

Blurb:

Graham's had it with Alphas. His experiences with them have been disastrous at best. Even with ones that didn't tumble him into the nearest bed. So when the chance to move in with another Omega comes up, Graham grabs it. But Graham's never seen an Omega so big. Plus, he seems to be able to push buttons only an Alpha has. Except trust is something that comes easily to Graham. Hyden says nothing about being an Alpha – so he must not be. Right?

Hyden has just met his fated mate, Graham - in the middle of a territorial war. Not the best timing. But now that Graham's here, Hyden can hardly let the little pup escape, which is what he will do if he finds out Hyden is an Alpha. With the Mating Moon scant days away how will Hyden convince the smaller Graham that not all Alphas are selfish bastards? And he's going to have to because blood fever will not be ignored and Hyden can already feel it taking over his senses. Once it does, there will be no turning back. Hyden might have to resort to handcuffing the pup in order to make sure he doesn't bolt off into the night. Hmmm. Not a bad thought. He might have to do that anyway…

I Believe Now - Sequel to Until You

Blurb:

Max Tyler and Asher Madden are back—and so is a very angry man from their past. A man who believes he has been extremely wronged by the great Max Tyler.

Wyatt Jackson knows it was Max who made it impossible for him to be re-elected and that was all the politician had been after. Plus, due to the lies Max told, Jackson nearly ended up in prison.

Jackson not only wants his life back, he wants Max Tyler dead.

First step? Kidnap Max's precious Asher Madden.

Max is well aware of his error in not taking care of Wyatt Jackson when he had the chance. He just didn't think the man had it in him to bite back. But Asher is now in the former Congressman's dirty hands and in order to rescue him, Max needs a plan. One that can't fail.

But what happens when it does?

About the Poem

For both Until You and the sequel I Believe Now I wrote poems to start off the stories. With Until You, the poem is actually “written” by Max Tyler and for I Believe Now, Asher does the honor. Of course, Max doesn’t “sign” his like Asher does, but you can’t help but know it is him.  Both poems appear at the beginning of the stories.

I really liked the fact I had poems to start these off. I think it gives an aura of romance to the story as you go in. For Asher, in this sequel, I also think it gives the reader knowledge of how Asher is feeling at the beginning of this story. He is finally giving in to his desire for Max. He is finally beginning to accept that some things just are not going to make sense in life.

I actually wrote poems for a few others of my stories, too, like Ladders. That one appears in the book at the beginning. I also wrote one for Baby, Think it Over but did NOT put it in the book. I’ll put it on the website though at some point.

I hope you not only like the poem but that you like the book. Here’s the poem for I Believe Now.

I Believe Now

The path I am on has not always been clear; the light oftentimes has been weak.

Even though I struggle sometimes just to see, I believe now it's your darkness I seek.

I've tried to pull back when I'm moving too fast, to figure out where this path leads.

But I look in your eyes so strong and so sure, and I believe now it's your pace I need.

I have stood up against very hard winds, and have fallen time after time.

But your hand on my shoulder has given me faith,

And I believe now that your strength is mine.

I've been afraid of the dark but it's been in your shadow, where I have felt safe and secure.

With your arms all around me, your presence surrounds me,

I believe now that your way is sure.

I sometimes wake up in the dead of the night, and reach out to where you should be.

I grasp then at air, with a fear you're not there, and I believe now the need is with me.

For this path I am on, though fear dogs my steps and panic seems but one breath away.

You have only to whisper 'be strong' in my ear, and I believe in you more every day.

Though I've bargained with fate and gambled with luck,

Seeking redemption from all that I've done,

I was alone on this ledge until you came along, because I believe now it's your heart I've won.

—Asher Madden

UNTIL YOU

Book Video  https://youtu.be/i81FaHT_rdo

Blurb:

Asher has a few issues. His older brother amassed a huge gambling dept that landed him in the hospital, thanks to a couple of thugs, his immediate boss at the club where he works is out for revenge, what for, Asher has no clue, and the owner of the club, the wealthy Max Tyler, is after his ass – literally.

Asher is also attracted to Max, but the same people who put his brother in the hospital also want Max Tyler dead. Not only that, but they are blackmailing Asher into helping with the heinous plot. Do as they say or his brother will die.

But Max Tyler is not so easily defeated, by thugs or a reluctant Asher. Lust at first sight, Max always gets what he wants and he wants Asher, even if it kills him.

And it just might.

Excerpt:

About halfway through his shift, Asher noticed a man standing against the wall toward the back of the room. Tall and dark, the shadows hid most of his face, but his posture screamed confidence. Asher couldn't tell the color, but the exquisitely tailored suit the man had on was definitely not off any rack. The man's gaze sent shivers down Asher's back, making it impossible to ignore him. Was he looking at him? Asher didn't understand why he suddenly felt so self-conscious. He darted quick looks back every time he could just to see if the guy was still there, watching.

But honestly how much sense did that really make? The guy couldn't be watching him. Except every glance Asher hazarded in the man's direction told him differently. He also noticed the man was continually approached by people. Once even by Griffin himself, but each one was quickly waved off, and the man would be standing alone again. Asher grinned when he thought of Griffin's sharp nose going up in the air right before he seemed to stomp away from the mysterious man. He wondered briefly if they knew each other. Probably not.

Asher considered approaching the man, offering a drink or menu, but, with the total brush-off he was giving to everyone else, he quickly dismissed the idea. Besides, if he had needed anything, Griffin would have taken care of it. It was quite obvious the man simply wanted to be left alone. But even after some time had passed, Asher still noticed that the man never really moved from his place against the wall.

And continued to stare at Asher.

How strange.

"Earth to Asher." Rogan rapped on the bar with his knuckles.

Asher startled and looked up. "What?"

"What do you mean, what? You need something? Come on. I'm busy. What's got you staring off into space?"

"N-nothing. Just…" He sighed and turned to face the bar. "Rogan, do you see that guy leaning on the wall over there near the door? Who is he?"

Rogan looked up, then around. "Where? I don't see anyone leaning against a wall."

Asher turned to where the man was standing, but Rogan was right. He was gone. How very strange. "Huh. Never mind. He's gone."

"Good. Now you can go back to work. What do you want?"

Congratulations! You have a FATED MATE!
That was what the card said. Grey, an Alpha wolf shifter, laughed at it, though. Fated mate? What a joke! He had tried enough dating websites in the last month to choke a horse shifter and he was done with all of them. Besides, having a mate would mean joining a pack and that would just bring up a past Grey had no intention of doing.

But MATES, INC. had an agenda that would not be ignored or put off. Grey had a mate. And the powers that be were determined he was going to meet him come hell, high water, or a past best forgotten.

A peak inside the McFarren Manor from “A Place to Belong”

Blurb:

Logan Perry was offered a job caring for an elderly lady a thousand miles from his home in Iowa. Looking for a place to hide, it seems to be the perfect opportunity to escape. So Logan runs to Texas. All he wants is a roof over his head and food in his stomach. So moving into the amazing McFarren Manor he believes is all he needs.

Bradley McFarren is only looking for someone to care for his aging grandmother. Too busy with the family multi-billion dollar real estate firm, he just doesn't have time. With no personal life to speak of, Bradley has kept his heart safe. As long as Gail, his beloved grandmother, is cared for, he thinks it's all he needs.

But what both their hearts truly desire is a place to belong.

So begins the journey of a love that will not be denied; a love bigger than the state of Texas.

The McFarren Manor

This large house was built by Daniel Sean McFarren in the mid 1800’s. The servant’s house shortly thereafter. It has gone through many upgrades and renovations through the years. Today it is a shining example of southern comfort and luxury.

This amazing entry makes a stunning first impression of a house that is magnificent throughout.

Gail is the one who added these glorious pillars. Carved from trees that came from the land the house sits on, there is a “fish” motif around the top of the pillars, depicting the McFarren’s unending faith in God.

Nick-named “the Canopy room” by one of the McFarren grandchildren from times past due to the high center ceiling, the name simply stuck. This is Bradley’s room when he is at the Manor. It boasts a large separate sitting room, a magnificent bathroom and a very private deck.

The most humble of all of the guest bedrooms in McFarren Manor. But it still has its own bathroom and small sitting room although, due to its proximity in the house, there is no access to an outside deck.

One of the soft spots in Bradley’s heart is this warm inviting room. He spent many hours reading and studying in this room while growing up and now he just enjoys spending time here.

All in all, this house is only that, a house. What makes this house a home is the same thing that makes any house a home – love.

The Interview

Good morning, Mr. Perry. May I call you Logan?

Absolutely.

Thank you for talking with me this morning.

This is for an article on the McFarren’s?

Yes. Don’t worry. Mr. Bradley McFarren has given me permission to do this.

Oh. Good. Go ahead, then.

Well, first question is how had you heard about this job? I understand you are originally from Iowa?

Yes, a small town. Mr. McFarren’s business is buying and selling real estate and it just so happened that the care facility I was working in at the time was purchased by a company he owned… or something like that. Anyway, there was a rumor going around that Brad… I mean, Mr. McFarren was buying all these care facilities looking for the perfect place for his grandmother. I decided to check into it and found out that he was actually looking for a full time, live in nurse. So I applied.

Elder care is a specialty of yours?

I guess. It’s the only thing I’ve done since graduating from college. I think I’m good at it.

It’s a tough profession. A lot of high stress.

Yes. That’s true. We were trained to separate ourselves from the patient and family, to stay focused on care and care alone. I actually don’t really like that. I think it’s important to bond with your people, especially the residents. A lot of them no longer have family who even come to see them. I feel awful that someone might end up dying alone.

But in contrast to that, you decided to leave Iowa and the nursing home circuit and care for only one patient. Why is that?

I needed a change. I needed out of that small town.

I see. Why is that?

(Fidgets) Well, I’m… I just needed a change, that’s all. It was time for me to get out on my own completely.

Do you miss your family?

No.

(Raises eyebrows) Really? So you have no real contact with them?

No.

Okay, moving on. Is caring for Ms. Gail McFarren difficult?

(Smiles) No. She is the sweetest thing. I love her so much. She is a great joy to serve. Every one of the staff thinks the same way.

How many staff is there in that huge house?

Other than me there are two more full time nurses. They don’t live in the house though, just me. I am the only one who actually lives in the house. Oh, except the chef. He has a couple of rooms off the kitchen. Then there are various other house hold people who keep the house clean. There is a staff’s house that sits behind the mansion where some of them live.

A staff’s house? What’s that like?

I honestly don’t know. I have never been invited. If the staff gets together for any reason we always use the main house. I understand it’s lovely, though. Bright and airy. Quite large. Very comfortable.

So speaking of the main house. What do you think of McFarren Manor?

Oh, it’s wonderful! I have been so privileged to have been able to live there for almost three years now. I have an incredible room, although it’s quite small compared to the rest.

I understand the mansion boasts ten bedrooms, fourteen bathrooms, an office, a library, a ball room… I could go on.

(Laughs) Yes, McFarren manor is huge. There used to be a lot of parties given under that roof.

Not anymore?

Oh no. Mrs. McFarren is far too weak to be the hostess these days.

I understand she is gravely ill?

(Nods)

Can you tell me about it?

(Shakes head) I… I would rather not talk about it.

I understand. So maybe tell me about the family then.

(Shrugs) Not much to tell. No one really comes to visit. I feel badly for Mrs. McFarren that her only real visitor is her grandson, Bradley. I don’t know what’s wrong with her family. If they don’t come soon, they will miss her.

Meaning?

Gail is dying.

I’m so sorry. Are there any plans for you when Mrs. McFarren passes?

That’s another subject I would rather not talk about.

I understand. How about Bradley McFarren, then?

(Big Smile) What about him?

Well that’s a nice smile. You obviously get along with him.

Yes. Best boss I’ve ever had.

What is it you like about him?

He’s kind and attentive. (Leans in) Very handsome. (Sits back and chuckles) But truly, he tries so hard make sure Gail has everything and anything she wants. Even me. He makes sure I’m happy, too. I like him very much.

Sounds like it might be a little bit more than “like”?

Oh, completely one-sided, I assure you. But… I guess I have to be content with that. (Sighs)

Thank you, Logan. We might need to follow up with you later on and get an update?

(Smiles) Maybe.
