 Is Love truly ‘Love is Love’?

Amazon Author Profile

Ducarius is determined to find the missing sentinel. 

When he succeeds, both men are stunned to discover they are mates.

Blurb

Skeleton Lord Ducarius Daray lives in a beautiful home with his loving family. Formerly a sentinel who had been stripped of his humanity, Ducarius does not dwell on his past. He finds fulfillment in his job, training with his daggers, and spending time with the Darays. But a mystery plagues his people, and Ducarius often searches for the lone missing sentinel.

In a realm far removed from the Council, Drexley dwells in a peaceful castle alongside the necromancer who was once tied to his soul. His days are spent ensconced in a library, refining his mind with a myriad of books. But his life is no longer idyllic, and Drexley fears the future. The land is crumbling. And his only family member is dying. 

On yet another hunt for Drexley, Ducarius notices a magical anomaly and promptly falls into a decaying realm where he discovers his prey—who happens to be his mate. The attraction is strong, but they have little in common. Drexley is unlike other sentinels, and proud of his differences. However, his memory is poor, and there are things he cannot explain. Like why neither man can leave.

Together, they traverse a perilous path—one with secrets waiting to be revealed. Love is a noble goal, but it will take more than determination for these men to embrace Fate’s promise of a happy matebond.

Excerpt 

Frustrated that he’d spent hours gaining no information about whatever nefarious plans the Consilium Veneficus had, Ducarius nearly missed the ripple in the air. It was an odd wave in the sky that immediately reminded Ducarius of the magical anomalies found in the former compound that had boxed in skeletons like himself. Ducarius stood still and waited patiently to see if he was somehow hallucinating or if he’d indeed noticed a glitch in his surroundings.

For countless minutes, Ducarius remained motionless. But his fists clenched in triumph, and he held in a cheer when he noticed the irregularity again. Perhaps my entire evening wasn’t wasted after all, Ducarius thought as he inched closer to the abnormality. It took far too long for the stupid variance to repeat itself. 

But Ducarius was ready for it. He kept his hand lifted and slipped his fingers through the subtle wave that probably would’ve gone unnoticed by anyone not familiar with the way magic distorted if left too long without the original spell being repaired. Thankfully, Ducarius had a bit of experience with the like, and he grinned like a fool as his fingertips disappeared through the anomaly. 

Ducarius tugged his phone out of his pocket to record what he’d witnessed so he would be able to bring it to Alaric and Chander’s attention as soon as he arrived home. In his haste, Ducarius dropped the damn device and cursed his unusual awkwardness. He bent forward to grab the phone and, to his horror, tumbled forward.

The world spun, and Ducarius barely bit back a shriek as the world disappeared beneath his feet. Suddenly dizzy, he squeezed his eyes shut. He was being teleported somewhere. That much was clear. But where? Thankful to be invisible, Ducarius hit the ground. His teeth clacked together, and he braced himself to stand.

Several things hit Ducarius at once. But the most irritating was the tug on his mind. It was a spell he recognized. At the now-destroyed compound, his memory had been drained without his permission. This version wasn’t as strong, but Ducarius immediately resented the manipulation.

Setting aside his anger, Ducarius noted he was in a small realm. There were others present. A necromancer. Ducarius’s lips curled into a smile as he recognized one of his own—there was a sentinel in the realm too. Had he found Drexley? There were a few other muted presences. Temporary resurrections done without bringing forth the personalities of the people in question. Their tiny life force reminded Ducarius of the reproductions Chander often did to add to the atmosphere of their annual All Hallow’s Eve party.

Desperate to know more about where he was, Ducarius stood and took in his surroundings. The realm was tiny. A large castle was set in the middle, and the gardens were eroding. Whoever had created it was incapable of keeping up with their spells or no longer cared to continue the practice.

Fully prepared to investigate the structure and adjacent land before introducing himself to the people inside, Ducarius wasn’t prepared for the castle door opening. His blood surged south, and his dick filled in his first erection. A sense of euphoria danced through him. Instead of a single scent, Ducarius was bombarded by everything he liked, and it coalesced into an indescribable but beautiful smell he immediately loved.

His mate was feet away. The sentinel was over six feet, like nearly all their people. But instead of a gray uniform, the man wore a long velvet robe that had been considered fashionable by sorcerers centuries ago. His blond hair was short and combed away from his face. Unlike any other sentinel Ducarius had met, his other half had a goatee and mustache. 

Ducarius thought the contrast was wonderful and was suddenly eager to learn everything that made this man special. With his heart racing and his palms sweaty, Ducarius dropped his invisibility, moved forward, and noted the light brown eyes rounded in shock.

“Are you Drexley?” Ducarius asked as he closed the short distance between them.

The surprise disappeared and was immediately replaced with suspicion. “How do you know my name?”

“Every sentinel knows your name. You have been missing for five hundred years.”

“What are you doing to make me feel so odd?”

“I do not understand.”

Drexley’s cheeks pinkened, and he broke eye contact. “It would be disrespectful to mention such things to a stranger.”

“Oh, your erection. It is because we are mates.”

“Sentinels do not have mates.”

“Fate appears to disagree with whoever gave you that information,” Ducarius stated briskly. The last thing he wanted was to hear that Drexley was not his gift from Fate.

“There was no evidence to suggest sentinels could be mated.”

“If you have been here for the last five centuries, you would have missed much about the Sentinel Brotherhood. Most of our people are mated, including our leader.”

“The sentinels do not have a leader. We are meant to be governed by the Order of Necromancia.”

Ducarius’s mouth twisted in an immediate snarl, and he was thankful he remained under the hood of his cloak so his expression wouldn’t upset his mate. “Tell me where I am.”

“That is none of your affair, and you should leave immediately. You are not welcome here.”

My name is Chrissy Wychling. I’m a divorced clothes designer and tailor in my mid-thirties. I've recently made a momentous decision and moved from Kent to the Yorkshire Dales to start a new business selling wedding dresses for larger brides. I didn't come to this new place looking for love, or even a relationship, but then I met Beth, and a whole new world of possibilities beckoned.

My name is Beth Nethering. My family has farmed this land for hundreds of years. As a child, I dreamed of getting away, and I did. I went to university, found a great job, got married, and had a child. I had my life mapped out then, ten years ago, everything changed. I made some tough decisions. I moved back to the family farm with my daughter then I set about rescuing the place. Now, we milk sheep not cows, we have glamping pods for tourists, and I've just rented the barn to Chrissy who sells wedding dresses. Me, I'm more used to wearing dungarees and wellies. I’m surprised but strangely flattered when Chrissy flirts with me. It's only a bit of fun, isn't it?

Excerpt

“So,” Beth began. “As you can see the barn is substantial, and there’s plenty of room for parking. You’ll have your own separate entrance, so your customers won’t have to come onto the farm. We didn’t want to turn it into another house so close to ours, so this seemed the perfect use. The place has undergone significant changes in the last ten years.”

“I suppose farmers have to diversify to make ends meet these days.”

“We do. If we depended on farming, we wouldn’t manage. It’s as simple as that.” I noted Beth didn’t explain further. Well, she doesn’t know me from Adam yet, so fair enough. “Right. Shall we go in?”

 I followed Beth up the ramped entrance, noting the low threshold doors that opened wide enough to let more than one person enter. The space we stepped into was huge.

“As you can see we’ve left the insides for you to configure, though there is a small kitchen and toilet facilities at the other end. We’ve made it so people can plan for themselves. I’m not sure what you’ll need, but Stan, our builder will sort everything for you. We’ve added a good security system too, which I’ll explain later.”

 I stepped to the middle of the space and turned slowly, imagining where everything I needed could go.

“What do you think?” Beth’s question interrupted my thoughts.

“I need a space for changing rooms, storage of the dresses, and a space for the customers to show off to their friends and family. Prospective brides hardly ever shop alone, and some bring a large entourage. I want this place to be a destination for women in the north. Each visit will be especially for them. Each person will have an appointment though I won’t stop people just dropping in. Each will get fitted by me. Each will get advice. Each will be able to feel confident they will get the dress which makes them look as incredible as they all deserve.” I stopped. 

Beth stared at me, eyes wide, with a blush on her cheeks.

“Sorry. I can go on. My sister-in-law had a terrible experience from haughty women staring down their noses at her until I found a designer who catered for someone her size. I saw the joy on her face the day she first put on the dress, and the same joy the day she wore it to marry my brother.” I didn’t explain how my ex-wife thought specialising in large sizes was financial suicide.

“I understand,” Beth said. “And I think it’s a lovely idea. I lost weight to fit into my dress.”

“I didn’t realise you were married,” I blurted out before my brain kicked into gear.

“I’m not. Not anymore. Divorced ten years ago. We still keep in touch, and he does all the farm accounts, but he lives in London with his second wife. Our daughter spends time with him during the holidays.”

“How old is she—your daughter?”

“Amy is seventeen going on thirty-five like most teenage girls. Unlike a lot though, she has a sensible head on her shoulders.” Beth glanced out of a window. “And she loves this place.”

“Just like you do?” 

Beth sighed. I have no doubt there was a whole history in that sigh. “Me?” She shrugged. “I grew up hating it. Couldn’t wait to get away. But you don’t always get what you want from life, do you?

Plunge into a steamy, exotic Venetian tale with glittering façades that cloak murder, art forgery, and sexual perversion.

Blurb

While spending autumn in Venice, a young American artist, Jenny Kidd, hopes to create a portfolio of paintings to launch her career and establish her independence from her tyrannical father. At the Guggenheim Collec-tion, she encounters Randi, a colorful British woman, who invites her to a masked ball at the Palazzo Barbon. There, she meets the seductive Caterina Barbon and her brother, Sebastiano, who entice Jenny into a world of glittering façades that cloak sexual perversion, art forgery, and murder. As Jenny struggles between her attraction to Caterina and her growing awareness that she is in danger, Jenny discovers an inner strength and spirit worthy of her infamous pirate ancestor.

Excerpt 

Jenny Kidd stood at arm’s length from the Wassily Kandinsky painting, White Cross. She had an overwhelming urge to rotate it, so the upside-down “3s” were righted, just to satisfy her visual curiosity. Sometimes she felt the same way about her life. If only she could examine it, turn its orientation, and set off in another direction. That wish, and the opportunity to paint, had prompted her trip to Venice, a destination her grandmother had said was an enchanted place for artists. 

The city was lovely in late September—still monstrously crowded and expensive—but Jenny was staying in a flat off Campo Santo Stefano, furnished and hers for ten weeks, an apartment swap arranged with a Venetian friend studying in New York. Even with the free rent, the cost of living and airfare had depleted Jenny’s savings and was skyrocketing her credit card debt. It would be such a relief to have a wealthy and supportive patron, someone like Peggy Guggenheim, whose famous art collection she was now admiring.

As she mused on this, she began to leave the museum’s drawing room, then hesitated, sensing strange vibrations coming from someone nearby. She studied the visitors but didn’t see anyone staring at her or who looked odd. A few minutes later, when the museum was closing, Jenny reluctantly left. 

Strolling home, she attributed the odd feeling to a desire to be with people. Living in this romantic city by herself was surprisingly sad, as if Venice’s beauty couldn’t be assimilated into her being unless she shared the experience. Despite her shyness, she had attempted to make friends. First by chatting with tourists, but she soon learned this was pointless. They were like fruit flies: quickly gone. So, too, were most young Venetians, who scurried off at day’s end for Mestre and the mainland because they couldn’t afford to live in their own city. And even if she did meet someone, would it be a man or a woman?

Her ambivalence frustrated her, a confusion that had become more pronounced in recent months and had precipitated the end of her relationship with Greg, which occurred two weeks before she left for Italy. Now, in this foreign place, would she be liberated from her personal history and the overshadowing influence of her parents? Although she had always been too timid to act on her romantic feelings toward women, Jenny hoped Venice might open new doors.

Blurb

Michael Azelys has awakened a long-forgotten power, and for the first time in a thousand years, angels, demons, and virtues clash in a brutal uprising, reminiscent of the Great War.

Determined to stop his brother, Raphael becomes the key to ending the centuries-long oppression of demonkind. He will return free will to the demons, or die trying.

Far away, Dante braves the desolate Impact Land in search of other awakened demons like himself. What he discovers exceeds his wildest hopes. But will he return in time, with an army strong enough to stop Michael Azelys, and save his loved ones?

As Heaven crumbles and distance tests their bond, Raphael and Dante must face their greatest fears and decide what they’re willing to sacrifice.

Will they survive long enough to meet each other again?

Excerpt From Book #1: The Enemy of Heaven

Without saying a word, Samuel Mitrigard sunk the knife deep into Dante’s side. Piercing pain ignited his senses and weakness spread through his body. He gritted his teeth and glared at the bastard, not giving him the satisfaction of hearing his anguish. Samuel pulled the blade out without even twisting it to finish the job. He was playing.

“Drop him,” he ordered, ever so casually.

The arms pulled away and Dante fell face-first into the dirt. So, this was the end. Dante could never imagine his death, even though he had many close brushes. There were many things he hadn’t done in his life, but at least he took solace in knowing that Peter and Dianna were safe.

Samuel Mitrigard grabbed a fistful of hair and pulled Dante’s head. The edge of an impeccably clean sword lowered to his exposed throat.

“Halt!”

The guardian angels froze and gawked as a hooded figure appeared. Dante could swear he saw this hooded figure, but his vision was blurring quickly. The man walked closer and removed his hood, exposing a blond head and blue angel eyes.

“Don’t kill this demon! I order you to release him in the name of Raphael Azelys, Third Prince of Heaven!”

What did he say? Dante couldn’t trust his ears, or any of his other senses at this moment. A royal heir could not be in the ghetto. It made no sense. Though the guardians were suddenly standing to attention. Everyone but Samuel Mitrigard still held his prey by the hair, his sword still ready to slice.

“Your Highness, I don’t know why you’re here alone, but this is not the place for royalty.”

“Please, guardian Samuel, tell me exactly where my place is.”

Dante felt the body behind him tense. The soles of ridiculously expensive boots stepped close enough for him to smell the leather.

“Remove your weapon,” demanded the prince.

His voice was so calm, as though an owner was asking his dog to drop its favorite toy. The guardians were looking at each other, clueless as to what to do. Samuel Mitrigard pressed the blade against Dante’s throat, enough to break the skin, but no further. He simply did not want to let go, not even when his sovereign demanded it.

“Your Highness, this is a convicted murderer. He killed a guardian on duty—”

“Any demon’s crimes are erased should they become an honorary angel,” the prince interrupted. “I’m here to make him into one.”

“What?”

“Give him to me, guardian Samuel.”

The guardian tugged on Dante’s hair—one last act of defiance before he reluctantly let him go. Dante’s face planted back into the dirt, but the prince caught him in time.

His vision was blurry, but he could see him. His Royal Highness Raphael Azelys was kneeling before him, supporting his chin in his palm, enough so they could establish eye contact.

“From now on, you’re mine,” he said, and the world sank into darkness.
