About A Dance of Water and Air

Edmund is heir to the throne of Thalassa and a wielder of Water magic. Devoted to his kingdom and his duty to it, Edmund can do nothing but acquiesce to an arranged marriage with the queen of a neighboring kingdom. The marriage and the child it is required to produce will seal an alliance between Thalassa and Aither that is vital to Thalassa’s safety, and far more important than Edmund’s personal misgivings.

Arden is the younger brother of Aither’s queen and a wielder of Air magic. Raised in the politics of the court to support his sister’s rule, he understands the alliance is important to Aither, even as he worries about his sister marrying someone she’s never met. When Edmund arrives in Aither to prepare for the wedding, Arden is tasked with helping him settle in at court. As they spend more time together, Edmund and Arden develop a close friendship, then stronger feelings, but with Edmund’s wedding approaching, they must hide their feelings, even from themselves.

When someone tries to assassinate the queen, Edmund is blamed, and Arden rescues him before he can be executed for a crime he didn’t commit. To prevent a war between their kingdoms and protect them from a dangerous enemy, Edmund and Arden will have to discover who wants to pit Aither and Thalassa against each other and mend relations between the two kingdoms as they evade those searching for them—all while finding a way to be together.

Last Day of The Dragon's Devotion Blog Tour

9/8/2017

Today is the last day of The Dragon's Devotion blog tour, and you can find me at Scattered Thoughts and Rogue Words, Boy Meets Boy Reviews, and Wicked Faerie's Tales and Reviews. Thank you so much for following along on the tour! I hope you've enjoyed it, and that you enjoy The Dragon's Devotion too!

Today is also the last day to buy my Dreamspinner books 30% off in their Labor Day sale.

About The Dragon's Devotion:

Corentin is a scholar with a secret—his magical Talent allows him to turn into a dragon, and he isn’t alone in that ability. Long ago, dragons were hunted fiercely, until they went into hiding, becoming things of legend. Corentin has traveled the world with one aim—to protect his people and keep their secret safe. Drawn to the principality of Tournai by news of someone close to discovering that secret, he hopes to avert suspicion. His attraction to the too-serious Bastien isn’t convenient for his purpose, but it isn’t something he can ignore either.

Lord Bastien, Earl of Ardesia, inherited his title unexpectedly when his parents were killed in a sailing accident along with the parents of his cousin, Prince Philip. Since then, Bastien has devoted his life to the obligations of his family and estate—so much so, that it has caused tension between him and his siblings. His world is further shaken when he receives an anonymous letter informing him that the tragic boating accident may, in fact, have been murder. Bastien throws himself into investigating whether the allegations are true and finding out who killed his parents.

As Corentin and Bastien become closer, the mystery of Bastien’s parents’ death draws him further into danger. Corentin feels compelled to protect Bastien, but the threat is closer than they know. Now, Corentin must decide whether preserving his secret—and potentially his people’s safety—is more important than saving the man he loves.

Release Day for The Dragon's Devotion!

9/4/2017

The Dragon's Devotion is out in the world today, and I'm filled with my usual mix of anxiety and excitement for you to read it. I love Bastien and Corentin, and I enjoyed writing their story so much. I hope you enjoy reading it just as much. There's romance but also love among family and friends, mystery and political drama, magic and a dragon.

The blog tour kicked off today as well. I'm visiting On Top Down Under, Books, Dreams, Life, and A Book Lover's Dream today with posts and excerpts. A Book Lover's Dream has a really lovely review of The Dragon's Devotion with my guest post that made my morning. There's also a giveaway on the tour, so go check it out.

Completely unrelated to The Dragon's Devotion release—but good timing anyway—Dreamspinner is having a 30% off sale for Labor Day. Today through the 8th, you can get my Dreamspinner books on sale there.
