Two broken hearts. One fake dating agreement. What could go wrong?

Three months later, she's bunking with her best friend and scrambling to make sense of her life sans cheating ex.

Theo is about to jet off for a long weekend in picturesque Scotland to be the best man at his brother's wedding. With stunning views and nothing but free food and drinking ahead, he should be more excited than he is. If only he didn't have feelings for the damn bride.

About the Author:

Kirsty Moseley has always been a passionate reader since she was a little girl, devouring books overnight, barely sleeping and paying for it at school the next day. Writing has come similarly to her and once she discovered Wattpad, she finally plucked up the courage to post one of her stories. Seven million readers later, she self-published her debut novel THE BOY WHO SNEAKS IN MY BEDROOM WINDOW, which later became one of 10 Finalists for the 2012 Goodreads' Choice Awards, Best YA Fiction. Shocked and overwhelmed by the response, she published her second novel ALWAYS YOU a few months later and hasn't looked back.

If she had to sum herself up in one word, it would probably by 'daydreamer' - but unlike most of her school teachers, she doesn't necessarily view that as a bad thing. After all, she read somewhere once that books are like waking dreams...

She lives in Norfolk, England with her husband and son.

Excerpt

She stomped the ground with her foot. "I will not be forced to marry a... a heathen!"

He gritted his teeth -- her words sparked outrage from his inner beast. Glancing over his shoulder, he offered, "Then which would you prefer? Halvard or me? Make your choice, Elspeth. Did you not consider I do not favor this union either?"

Confusion marred her features. She fisted her hands on her hips and glanced upward. "Did you argue against this marriage with King William?"

"Aye." 

"Yet he convinced you?"

"Aye."

When she returned her gaze to him again, resolve and a bit of stubbornness filled them. "Why, Magnar?"

"The king will permit me to continue with my duties with the elite guard, including an important task which requires my attention after our marriage."

Chewing on her bottom lip, she nodded slowly. "Then you will be absent most months from Steinn?"

"Most assuredly, and when I am there, Erik will be my focus."

Her face softened as she moved slowly toward Magnar. "Therefore this marriage is in name only for Erik's protection, aye?"

Annoyed with the direction of his thoughts, he looked away. How Magnar longed to tell the lie on the tip of his tongue. The word ached to be released. He turned and stared into his jeweled eyes in an attempt to offer her any hope of what she wanted to hear.

When she placed a hand on his arm, she whispered, "Tell me honestly, Magnar."

He swallowed and removed her hand from his arm. Placing it securely over his heart, he stated, "Our marriage will be binding in all ways, Elspeth -- in name and body. You may worship your God and I shall do so with mine, but ken this, you will be mine completely."

The battle of emotions splayed across her face. She stepped closer and pulled her hand free from his. "Then you understand this, Magnar MacAlpin, you can have my body on my terms. The time of my choosing. I am tired of having men telling me what to do. Will you accept my terms?"

By the hounds!  Her words sparked his lust further. Magnar concluded he did not want a simpering wife by his side. For the first time, he yearned to have one challenging him -- in mind and body.

Grasping her around the waist, he ignored her gasp and cupped her chin. Her eyes widened as he slowly lowered his head. "Agreed." He breathed the word against her cheek.

Prophecy of the Guardian by J.W. Baccaro

Series: Guardian Trilogy #1

Publication date: August 2nd, 2020

Publisher: J.W. Baccaro

Synopsis:

"Not darkness, not light, perhaps something in between, and is claimed by the darkness... as theirs. Though being saved by the light, that which is saved must in turn save the world..."

Darshun Luthais has never experienced the Nasharin Frenzy--the unbending will to challenge a stronger opponent, no matter the cost. He doesn't know what he will transform into, has never bonded with an elemental crystal and has never seen any of the unearthly creatures his father talks about. Even though he's an infant in Nasharin years, his life consists of nothing but constant training, striving to unlock the sleeping power his so-called accursed race is born with. 

But all that changes when he is pursued by a Dream Assassin in the dead of night. What he witnesses will forever change his outlook on life and lead him on a quest only the strongest can complete.

Excerpt

"Come forward, Cullach of Zithel," a female voice ordered.

Ziah knew the voice immediately... the Dark Queen Talvenya, sitting there on her throne. He obeyed, passing through a host of silent Draconian guards, but wouldn't dare look upon her unless spoken to. With his head hung low, staring at the polished marble floor, each square beautifully patterned with black and blood red, he stopped a few paces before her and kneeled.

"Raise your face to me," she commanded.

Trembling, he obeyed.

There she sat, in a black scarlet cloth dress with sheer sleeves and shiny black leather boots. Long raven hair drifted past her shoulders, painted black lips and violet eyes. She also wore amethyst earrings, blue, red and citrine spinel necklaces. Her hands sported long dark fingernails, sharp like daggers that could rip apart flesh. Yes, even Cullach found her 'desirable,' for she appeared to be very stunning, though in a deadly way. She existed as lust, pure lust that could lead another--had led others straight into the grave.

Her violet gaze dominated him, and he could scarcely breathe.

"Ziah, why is it you return here empty handed?"

"For--give me my Queen, but it was not--not my fault, neither was it the fault of my platoon. Let me explain what happened--"

"Silence, Cullach!" Fire lashed in her tone. She rose and stepped hard toward him. 

Her angry presence making Ziah feel as though it were the coldest winter day.

"You come back to my castle, stand before my throne, my presence--with no crystals, and say it is not your fault?"

In humility he sank to the floor, throwing his face at her feet, kissing her leather boots. "Please, my Queen, my Goddess, if I could just explain."

Placing a sole against his face, she kicked him over onto his back. "Spare me your excuses. Instead, you may tell the king, who is returning now."

And he was. They could hear his loud footsteps echoing down the hall and approaching the lair.

In a way, this pleased Ziah. When he'd first entered and saw him not in his throne, or anywhere in the room, his fear grew worse because if any were to show him mercy, it would be the king.

The queen was unforgiving. All who'd ever failed her in the past were now either stone or dust. Perhaps now, this 'poor' Cullach would have a chance?

The metal doors swung open and in he walked, overshadowing all. He stood seven feet, with long reddish-black hair, and wore a crimson ganache draped over his shoulders to his elbows, a black cape, and murrey leather boots. Sheathed in a thick black girdle was his great sword, the Soul Crusher, a sword that not only cut enemies apart like the softest wheat, but spawned magic as a Wizard's staff might. Most frightening of all were his eyes, if it were right to call them 'eyes', for they had no visible pupils, just dark, shadow-like ovals. "Word is spread Zithel has been retaken," he stated, his voice dripping with darkness, yet at the same time strangely mundane.

J.W. Baccaro is the author of Prophecy of the Guardian and Blood Dreams. Always a lover of creativity, from works of literature to writing music with his electric guitar; even baking and cooking. When not working on his next story or lost in a good book, J.W. enjoys kicking back with a couple of tasty craft beers and binging on Kaiju movies, 80's action flicks, Japanese animation and slasher films (particularly the one involving a hockey mask).
