Sneak peek of Evil Overlord Omega

Dean opened the door to the bedroom and blinked. It took a moment for his mind to register what his eyes were seeing. The mattress had been pulled off of the bed and shoved into the far corner. The bed frame had been pushed away into another corner, like it was unwanted trash needing to be disposed of.

Surrounding the mattress on the floor were all sorts of fluffy cushions and huge pillows, effectively making the mattress twice as big. The whole creation was strewn with covers, quilts, throws and blankets. Bright clashing colors and all either fluffy or silky.

Gauzy pink curtains were hung from the ceiling around the strange bed-thing. Thick purple velvet curtains hung over the windows at the back, blocking out all natural light.

Multi colored fairy lights were strewn haphazardly along the walls and twinkling merrily.

Dean gawped helplessly for a long moment. Then he scented again. It was definitely only Silas who had been in the bedroom. No crazy person had broken in.

Dean whirled around and set off at a pace. He burst through Isaiah and Zayne’s door and heard Isaiah give a little yelp of surprise. Dean felt a flash of guilt. He really should have knocked.

Isaiah stared at him, his brown eyes wide. Then he carefully put down the pair of jeans he had been folding onto the neat pile of other laundry that was on his bed. Zayne and Cyrus were nowhere to be seen.

“Are you okay, Alpha?” asked Isaiah.

Dean nodded and then shook his head. “Come with me!” he said before turning back to his room. He really didn’t have the words.

Isaiah followed him obediently. When they got back to Dean and Silas’s room, Dean hurriedly opened the door, pulled the little omega inside, and slammed the door shut behind them. No one else needed to see this.

“What the fuck is this?” asked Dean, managing to find some words.

He stared at Isaiah’s face as the omega took it all in. His brown eyes widened and his jaw dropped.

“Well?” Dean demanded impatiently, “Is he sick?”

Isaiah looked up at him and flushed. “No, he’s not sick.”

“What’s wrong then?”

“Is his heat due soon?” asked Isaiah.

Dean opened his mouth and then closed it again. 

“Well, it looks like it’s going to be soon,” said Isaiah, gesturing to the room. “It’s nothing to worry about, Alpha, and it’s nothing to do with… what happened.”

Dean ran his hand through his hair. He was so glad to hear that.

“So what the hell is going on?”

Isaiah flushed again and chewed his bottom lip. His large brown eyes stared at Dean imploringly for a long moment before surrendering with an anguished sigh.

“Oh heavens, please do not tell Silas you heard it from me. He will cut out my tongue!”

Dean stared back at Isaiah, crossed his arms and waited. The omega glared back at him stubbornly. Eventually Dean relented.

“Okay, okay, I won’t tell Silas you said anything,” he promised. It seemed it was the only way he was going to get any answers.

Isaiah took a deep breath. Dean felt apprehension clutching at his stomach. Despite the little omega’s earlier assurances, this seemed bad, really bad.

Isaiah whispered so quietly Dean had to lean down to hear him.

“It just means he… it’s a sign… that… he’s getting older.” Isaiah clasped his hands over his mouth and peered around the room anxiously, as if worried Silas was going to appear from nowhere and take his tongue.

Evil Omega Overlord will be released on the 14th September!

Sneak Peek of Earl Hathbury's Vessel

Hi! This week I've been getting ready for the release of Earl Hathbury's Vessel on Sunday 14th! It's a nerve wracking time. I've got fingers and everthing crossed that you all like it.

Here is a sneak peek!

Sighing wistfully, I continued my meander around the grounds. I turned a corner around a tall hedge and found a swimming pool. I blinked in surprise. The old families usually considered them vulgar. Something only new money garishly indulged in.

It was quite tucked away and hidden by tall hedges. Whoever had installed it had known it was something to be embarrassed about.

It looked clean, if a bit tatty. It had obviously been here for a while. The pool was a decent size, surrounded by well-maintained grass. There were no sun loungers nor any other accouterments. I wondered if anyone still used it.

A few stray leaves floated on the surface, but the water looked clear. Calm and inviting. Sod it. I had nothing better to do. The day was warm enough that I’d soon dry off, even without a towel. I stripped down to my underwear, a pair of simple white briefs. Leaving my clothes carelessly strewn across the grass, I sat on the edge of the pool and dipped my toe in.

It was delightfully warm. A heated pool. Now, that was a pleasant surprise. Grinning, I slipped in. The water was divine. Feeling far too lazy to do laps, I merely bobbed around for a while. Then I floated on my back and closed my eyes. The feeling of weightlessness in the warm water, combined with the sun shining down and the birdsong, was wonderful. Maybe swimming could become my new hobby. I could come here every day. I’d soon get fit, I supposed. If I actually swam instead of floating around.

But this relaxation was lovely. Doing this everyday sounded far more alluring. I could call it meditation or something. Maybe do a bit of yoga at the poolside, so it didn’t feel quite so decadent.

Someone coughed, and it startled me so much I nearly drowned trying to get to my feet. Spluttering water out of my mouth and wiping it from my eyes, so I could see, I looked up.

It was Archie. Standing by the pool. Holding a folded white towel and wearing a white robe. His shapely legs were bare, and he had flip-flops on his feet. He had come to swim in his secret pool and found me in it.

I scrambled to the edge and heaved myself up. The poor man took a step backwards as I lunged out of the pool to stand before him, water streaming off of me onto the grass.

“I’m sorry!” I gasped, pushing my sodden hair out of my eyes with both my hands.

Archie just stared at me. A strange look on his face. His cheeks were heated, unsurprisingly. He was probably furious at me.

“It’s quite alright,” he said after a while, but his voice sounded strained.

“I’ll… I’ll leave you to your peace,” I stuttered and hastily scooped up my clothes that seemed to be scattered everywhere. Making it take forever to gather them. When I eventually had them all, I ran.

When I was far enough away, out of sight and hearing, I stopped, chest heaving. I dropped my clothes onto the ground so I could start dressing. As I glanced down, I saw my wet underwear was entirely see through.

Groaning, I covered my blush with my hands. Not that there was anyone to see now.

“Nice one, Charlie,” I said to myself. Just what his lordship wanted to see. I thought sarcastically. Great way to get to know your new master, invade his private pool and then flash him.

I hope you enjoyed this short excerpt. My newsletter comes out on the 14th so I'll see you then if you are a subscriber. If not, I'll be updating this blog next Thursday.

Happy reading 😊

How to Romance an Incubus

 This week I have been working on How to Romance an Incubus, which will be released in October.

Jinx, the incubus is rapidly stealing my heart and making me laugh. He is a combination of scary demon and ridiculous floffball and I'm loving it.

The cover is ready and I've gone with a different artist, so it's quite a different look from my other books. I like and I think it fits the book well. I'd love to hear your opinion though. Especially whilst there is still time to commission my usual artist!

Head over to my website HERE and scroll down to take a look. Or head over to Amazon where it is up for pre-order.
