It's weekend, and time for more Rainbow Snippets. The Rainbow Snippets group on Facebook asks its members to share six sentence snippets from their work each weekend. Check out the group's Facebook page to read all the snippets and add lots of great books to your TBR. You'll find all sorts of books with the common thread that the main character identifies as LGBTQ+.

The Prince's Consort is on sale at Dreamspinner, so I thought I'd share a snippet from it with you today. The Prince's Consort was my first published book, a prince/commoner fantasy romance.

The hour was late when their guests finally left. Amory was tired but not sleepy, his body humming with happiness and anticipation. He settled in what had become their usual place in the sitting room. Philip handed him another glass of wine and sat close beside him. Amory sipped the wine, a crisp white that night, and watched the play of firelight over Philip’s face and glossy dark hair. So beautiful. He gave in to overwhelming temptation and stroked his fingers through all that silky hair. Philip’s eyes closed, and he made a sound close to a purr.

Philip always did that, and Amory was secretly delighted by it. Philip nuzzled into his hand and pressed a kiss to his palm before leaning forward to press another to his lips.

If you'd like to know more about The Prince's Consort, you can find it here. The ebook is 35% off at Dreamspinner right now, and paperbacks of all my Dreamspinner titles are 30% off. Thanks for reading!

Happy Anniversary to The Prince's Consort!

10/16/2018

The Prince's Consort was published three years ago today, and I became a published author! I can't believe it's been three years and six more books—it somehow feels both like much longer and no time at all at the same time. The Prince's Consort and Amory and Philip will always have a special place in my heart because it was my first published book and because of these characters and their story, that of a lonely prince with a magical secret and a commoner escaping from a horrible family who fall for each other and make a life together against all odds. I'm so happy that I get to visit with them in each book of the Chronicles of Tournai series, just to check in and see how they're enjoying their happily ever after and supporting the people they love.

About The Prince's Consort

Legends tell of large cats defending the principality of Tournai, but such creatures have been lost to time.

Or have they?

Prince Philip inherited the throne at a young age, and since then, his life has centered around ruling his country and resisting those pressuring him to take a wife and conceive an heir—forcing him to hide his attraction to men. When kind-hearted Amory is offered to the prince in exchange for more time for Amory’s father to complete a commission, both Philip and Amory are horrified. But Philip agrees to keep Amory at the palace, where they gradually become friends, then lovers. For the first time in his life, Philip is free to share not only his heart, but the magical shape-shifting ability that runs in the royal bloodline.

Neither Amory nor Philip imagined falling in love, and they certainly don’t expect the lengths those who oppose their relationship will go to keep them apart—maybe even resorting to murder.

Philip woke to the delicious realization that he wasn’t alone. Amory was pressed against his side, warm and flushed with sleep, his auburn curls mussed around his face. Philip wanted to wake up next to him every day forever.

As he watched, Amory’s eyes fluttered open. Surprise, memory, and pleasure washed through their warm chocolate-brown depths when Amory focused on Philip lying beside him. A sweet, sleepy smile spread across Amory’s face, and Philip had to kiss him.

I'll share more from upcoming books soon, but today I thought I would give you a snippet from The Prince's Consort today. Amory and Philip have been attacked while on horseback. (Philip speaks first.)

“Are you all right?” he asked Amory.

“Fine.” But there was something in Amory’s voice.

“Amory. Tell me the truth.”

A pause lasting several breaths and then, “I really am fine. Don’t
worry about me.”

“What am I not worrying about?”

“One of the arrows grazed my arm, but I’m fine. I’m more concerned about the number of times I’ve been dumped off that horse lately.”

The laugh, short and strangled, was forced from Philip. “How bad is it?”

“Well, it’s embarrassing. Falling from one’s horse displays a complete lack of the dignity the prince’s husband should possess.”

Philip rolled so he was on top of Amory, and started kissing and nuzzling Amory’s neck. “All mine.”

Amory shivered, at the kisses, but mostly at the words. “Yes. And you? Are you mine?”

Philip lifted his head and looked down at Amory, his eyes blazing. “Yes. All yours.”

I'm taking a break from The Dragon's Devotion for a while and switching over to snippets from some other books. This week, I thought I'd give you a scene between Philip and Amory in The Prince's Consort. I went a little over six sentences—sorry!

Some time later, the sketch was taking shape, and he realized he wasn’t alone. He turned in his seat and smiled. Philip watched him with a fond expression on his face.

“Are you done working?” Amory asked, keeping his voice level despite the warmth Philip’s expression kindled.

“For now. I’ll have more to do tomorrow. I sent everything back to the palace with the messenger.” Philip strolled forward, stopping behind Amory’s chair. “It’s a beautiful drawing.”

He glanced at it. Not bad, but not quite finished. “Thank you.”

Philip leaned down, hanging over the back of Amory’s chair and Amory’s shoulders to get a closer look at the drawing, much as he had the first time he looked through Amory’s sketches. It was becoming a habit, and Amory loved having Philip so close, feeling the warmth of his body, breathing in the scent of him. If Philip wanted to study all of his drawings that way, Amory had no objections.

I'm taking a break from The Dragon's Devotion this weekend to share a snippet of The Prince's Consort, my first published book, which will have been out two years on Monday. To celebrate the book's anniversary, here is a snippet of a kiss. (I think I went one sentence under this time, but someday I know I'll get six sentences!)

The second kiss still wasn’t more than the tender slide of lips over lips, but it wasn’t as brief, nor as innocent as the first. Amory’s lips were soft against his, his body warm and fitting just right against Philip’s as he pulled Amory closer. The kiss was perfect, as the first had been. It felt as if he’d been waiting for the kiss, for the man, for years, and at that moment everything had fallen into place. It felt as if they were the only two people in the world for those moments, and the feeling was wonderful.

Today I have a snippet from The Prince's Consort for you. Philip and Amory have escaped the palace and the city for a few days away at one of Philip's estates alone. Here they're relaxing, and Philip is watching Amory draw.

Amory looked up at him. “You’re sure you aren’t going to be bored?”

“Definitely not,” Philip replied. He laughed at the skepticism in Amory’s eyes. “Draw, Amory.”

With an eye roll, Amory turned away, back to looking at whatever had caught his eye in that part of the woods. Soon, he began to sketch, his long, graceful fingers making quick, careful strokes with the charcoal. No, Philip wouldn’t get bored. Amory didn’t realize how much Philip enjoyed watching him. He was awed at how Amory’s art came into being under his hands. He was awed at a lot of things about Amory.
