Sneak peek of All Rail the King!

 I paced the living room of the rented apartment furiously, biting my nails as I went. My body felt too hot and too cold. Agitation itched all along my skin. Things were progressing far too fast. I’d gone from feeling slightly odd when holding Nathan’s hand as we abandoned the car, to now, a mere couple of hours later, not feeling like myself at all.

One thought haunted me and refused to let go. Repeating over and over in my mind with no mercy and no escape. It may have been a stupid thing to fixate on, but I was powerless before it.

A key slid into the lock and I jumped, heart racing but Nathan’s delicious scent calmed me down instantly. He walked in, arms laden with shopping bags.

“Why am I going into heat now?” I demanded.

Releasing the words that had been going around and around my head. All the times I had longed to finally go into heat. To be normal. And now, when it was a terrible time, it was happening?

To my immense surprise he flushed and looked guilty. I watched him in astonishment as he walked over to the open-plan kitchen and carefully put his bags on the island. I had been voicing my frustration. I had not expected him to have an answer.

“Nathan?” I asked, when it became clear he wasn’t going to say anything.

Finally he walked towards me, only to stop several paces away. He gave me an anguished look. He fidgeted with his hands and then placed them behind his back.

“Mr. King had suppressants put in your food. I didn’t know where they were kept, so I couldn’t bring them.”

I stared at him in absolute horror. I could barely comprehend what I was hearing. It could not be true. How could my father do this to me? And Nathan had known? He’d always known?

Suddenly, I rushed up to him and hammered my fists against his chest angrily.

“How could you!” I yelled. “You knew how much of a freak I felt! How upset I was about it! I bared my heart to you and you… you said nothing!”

He stood stoically, accepting my rage. His delicious scent washed over me, all Nathan and masculine. It flipped a switch in my brain. I whined and pressed my body against his, my hands wrapping around the back of his neck, my mouth descending on the exposed piece of skin where his top two buttons were undone, and licking eagerly.

Some part of me was cringing at what I was doing. But it was a very small part of myself and very easy to ignore.

Nathan shuddered, placed his hands on my hips and lifted me up. I wrapped my legs around him gladly and he started carrying me briskly towards the bedroom. Excitement made me dizzy, was he? Were we?

He dumped me on the bed in a sitting position. I looked up at him but he didn’t look at me. Instead, he emptied one of his shopping bags onto the bed. I stared at the contents. Sex toys. A huge collection. He straightened with a jerky movement and strode out, locking the door behind him.

“I’ll be right outside,” he said softly, but there was a strange tightness to his voice.

Humiliation and rejection flooded through me like a physical pain. My chest hurt, my eyes watered. Everyone, absolutely everyone wanted an omega when they were in heat. People fought to the death over it. It felt so amazing, it was legendary. Nevermind the pheromones that drove everyone wild, even humans.

But Nathan didn’t want me. Why did he hate me so much? I must be really hideous. Extremely repulsive. The knowledge hurt. It burned. It was an agony like no other.

I threw myself down to a sprawl on the bed and howled my pain and my need. Misery overwhelming me until I thought I might die of it.

“Eli! Please! The neighbors!”

He was crazy if he thought I could stop. My body was burning up, my mind clouding with want. He had destroyed me with his rejection. I couldn’t possibly contain it all within me. My wolf insisted on howling to call someone else who might want me, who might help me.

“Eli, your heat is making you not think straight. You need to start playing with yourself. It will make you feel better”

His words drew my attention to my very hard cock. My clothes suddenly felt restrictive and unbearable. Whimpering, I tore everything off. Being naked was far better. But even the sheets felt wrong against my skin. There should be someone else’s skin touching mine. Someone else should be caressing me, filling me. This was all wrong.

A tiny part of my rational mind was still functioning. It made me wrap my hand around my cock. It told me if I came I’d feel better. It was wrong. I knew what I needed, and that was to be stuffed full of cock until my insides were rearranged. But touching my cock did feel good. My hand pumped and my hips thrust. A short, sharp orgasm trembled through me. Unsatisfying and succeeding only in coating my fingers in cum. 

I whined deep in my throat and started again. I needed more. Wanted more. 

I spilled two more times but it brought no relief. If anything, it made me more desperate. I wailed in dismay.

“Eli,” said Nathan calmly. It sounded like he was just the other side of the door, pressed up against it. I wanted him to come in. I had never wanted anything more.

“I think you need to use the toys. You need to come from… your hole.” 

He sounded so awkward and uncomfortable. At first I was annoyed but then I relented. Talking about your best friend's hole can’t be easy. If my heat wasn’t driving me out of my mind, I’d probably be dying of embarrassment. But with my heat raging the only thing I felt was dismay that he saw me only as a friend. Still, what he was saying made sense.

Hastily, I ripped open the packet of the nearest toy. It was large and obscenely pink, but I didn’t care. I lay on my back, spread my legs and brushed the tip against my hole. Then, gritting my teeth, I slid it in. I was aghast at how easily it went, my body greedy for it. I had expected it to hurt or at least feel uncomfortable. But my slick drenched hole all but pulled it in.

I groaned. It felt good, so very good. I hadn’t realized how achingly empty I had been. But the silicone was tepid and too firm. It didn’t carry the silken warmth of a cock. How I knew this, I had no idea. I was merely a slave to my instincts and what they were telling me. My wolf whined in confusion. It was almost what it wanted, whilst also being not at all what it wanted.

My hand flew back to my cock. This time when I came, my ass clenched around the toy lodged in my ass. It didn’t feel right. I didn’t like the sensation at all. The toy was too hard, too unyielding. 

My hips bucked, thrusting my cock in and out of my hand. My body desperate for a release that was satisfying. But everything I did was a tease and only got me more aroused, more frantic.

I howled my frustration and pummeled my cock. Nothing had prepared me for how intense heats were. I could not believe I had wished for this.

“Eli! Don’t touch your cock!”

Could he see me? Was he peeking through the hinges of the door? I didn’t care. I tried to obey him. I kept one hand on the bed, while the other slid the toy in and out frantically.

“I can’t!” I gasped as my hand flew back to my throbbing cock of its own accord.

Nathan swore, unlocked the door and strode in.

ARCs available for All Rail the King

 Hiya,

ARCs should be ready soon.

If you don't know what an ARC is, it stands for Advance Reader Copy and it's where the author gives you a free copy of a book before it is released, and in exchange you leave an honest review on/by release day.

I'm mainly looking for people who can review on Amazon or Facebook, TikTok or Instagram. ARCs will be with you by the 1st December, with the book coming out on the 14th December.

Your copy will be provided by a download link from BookFunnel.

If you are interested, please email me at sez@srodman.net 

Here is the cover (as voted for by newsletter subscribers) and the blurb.


Everybody wants my body and my money. Nobody wants me.


Being an omega has never been worse.


I’m Eli King, an omega and the youngest son of Alpha Duncan King, one of the richest businessmen in the country.


When Duncan and his alpha sons are killed in a helicopter crash, I don’t have time to mourn. I inherit the King empire, but as an omega, any alpha who mates and claims me will get it all.


My wonderful bodyguard and best friend, Nathan, drags me out of the house before I know what is happening. And then I’m running and hiding from every alpha in the world.


Nathan is the only person I trust. Spending so much time with him is the one silver lining in all this mess. He is the one person who truly sees me and likes me, not my money. He is my favorite person on the planet. 


If only he wasn’t a beta.


All Rail the King contains; friends to lovers, forced proximity, only one bed, mutual pining, an unexpected heat and a prosthetic knot!

Prison Mated is free & The Bodyguard's Vessel is 0.99

 Hi Peeps,

Prison Mated is free until the 13th November. So if you've ever fancied a copy, now is the time to grab it!

The Bodyguard's Vessel is availble for pre-order and will be realesed on the 14th November. It's 0.99 until the 16th November when it will change to it's standard price of 3.99.

I'm already thinking of the next book in the Duty & Magic series. This one is going to feature a duke and an arranged marriage. I've spent hours trying to come up with a great name for a duke! Something worthy of a romance character, realistic (sounds like a duke's name), not the name of a real British noble and not too similiar to Garrington or Hathbury! Argh! 

Any suggestions would be gratefully received!

Cover News

 Hiya! Strange that November is already here!

I’m busy, busy, busy. Writing away and constantly adding my ideas to my TBW (To Be Writing) pile. 😁


So a very short blog this week, just to say hi, and yes I’m still here.


I think the most exciting news I have is about book covers.


I have a potential cover for All Rail the King. I adore this one but I will be putting the three different covers I have for this book to the vote in my next newsletter.


That’s all for now, happy reading!

Change of release plans for The Bodyguard’s Vessel!

Hi! Oh wow. So, My plan for The Bodyguard’s Vessel was to submit it to Amazon on the 10th of November for release on the 14th.

But now, to my immense surprise I have been accepted for a BookBub Featured Deal for Earl Hathbury’s Vessel on the 2nd November! 🥳


BookBub sends out newsletters to hundreds of thousands of subscribers and their ‘Featured Deal’ recommends a book that is on sale or temporarily free. They are fussy about what books they promote, so being accepted for one has near mythical status amongst writers! 😂


So with that happening on the 2nd, I wanted to have The Bodyguard’s Vessel available for pre-order, as it is the next in the series.


Now, I was going to price The Bodyguard’s Vessel at $0.99 from the 10th to the 14th, as a special thank you to my lovely newsletter subscribers. The thought being that I would tell them about the special release price and they would have a chance to get it before other people knew it was out.


But now it’s going to be $0.99 / £0.99 from the 2nd to the 16th November, so newsletter subscribers will still have time to get the deal when my newsletter goes out on the 14th.


It will be $3.99 / £3.99 from the 17th.


TL:DR The Bodyguard’s Vessel will be available for pre-order from the 2nd November. It will be released on the 14th & will be priced at 0.99 until the 16th 🤣

Sneak peek of The Bodyguard's Vessel!

 He teetered to the edge of the pool.

“Eban, no! You are too drunk.” I said sternly, putting all my alpha authority into my voice. He needed to listen.

He glared at me in clear indignation and poked me in the chest. “You don’t get to tell me what to do!”

“Yes, I do.”

His eyes narrowed. “Why? Because you are all brooding and gorgeous and kind in bed?”

I stared at him. Kind? I didn’t think I had been kind. I’d been far too horny, far to stupid to be truly kind. I hadn’t figured it out then and had mostly thought he was acting strange because it was an effect of being ripe. If he thought that last night had been kind, what on earth was he used to?

Whatever he saw in my expression, he clearly didn’t like. He huffed in annoyance and stepped back away from me before losing his balance and falling into the pool with an almighty splash.

The pool probably wasn’t deep. It was likely he could stand up in it. Or that the shock would sober him up, and if not he was such a graceful little shit he probably could swim whilst stupidly drunk.

I didn’t wait to find out. I dived in after him, fully clothed. I found him quickly under the water and pulled him into my arms. The pool was shallow enough for me to stand up in, holding him in a bridal carry. I stared down at him. Under the water he had flung his arms around my neck. He didn’t remove them. Just stared up at me as water streamed off of him.

I reflexively tightened my grip on him. My wolf never wanted to let him go. ‘Mine,” it insisted. Except he wasn’t mine. He was Hyde’s and that was never going to change. 

The pool was heated but the air was chilly.

“Let’s get you inside and dried off before you catch a cold,” I said, when there were so many other things I wanted to say.

He stared deep into my eyes. An intense look in his gaze as if he wanted to say things too. I waited with bated breath, but after a long tense moment he merely sighed and rested his head against my shoulder. That small trusting gesture, made my heart go crazy.

I carried him out of the pool and down the stairs. All the way to his room. I only wished I could keep on walking and carry him out of the house and out of his life.

But he wasn’t mine and I could not keep him.



Coming November 14th!
