THE NAIAD'S LOVER
A year ago, Erik Arnesson left his life as a merchant in the great city of Hallevalt and moved to a small cabin in the far north of the kingdom. There, instead of a quiet and solitary retirement, he found everything he thought he’d lost forever—peace, happiness, and enduring love.In the year that he’s spent with his naiad lover, Erik has coaxed the powerful immortal into trying out many new things. Above all, Erik has taught Sayan how to love.As spring turns to summer, Sayan decides to do some teaching of his own. Only he isn’t trying to introduce Erik to intimacy, small comforts, and tender embraces. He wants to teach him how to swim. In a freezing northern lake.The problem is, a wild naiad born with the power over water isn’t the best instructor for a human who is terrified of drowning.Fortunately for Erik, a young friend is more than happy to step in and take over.Unfortunately for Sayan, that young friend is handsome, he dares to have a crush on Erik, and Sayan has one more lesson to learn.Love was easy. Now, he has to learn how to trust.
The Naiad’s Lover is a low-angst fantasy romance novella about a patient human and a highly strung immortal who just wants to share his beloved lake. It’s set a year after the events of The Naiad’s Gift, book one in the Immortal Bonds series, and features the same couple.
NOT THAT RIDICULOUS
Charlie Galloway is handling it, okay?Yes, he’s been left to run the family coffee shop all on his own, he’s up to his eyeballs in mortgages and loans, and his fixer-upper dream house is falling down around his ears. Big deal. He can handle it.Just like he can handle being secretly in love with Kevin Wallis, Chipping Fairford’s favourite handyman, best known for once finding a dead body in a storage tub under a client’s bedroom floor.Only it turns out that while Kevin might come across as a total cinnamon roll with his gentle brown eyes and his sweet, calm nature, he really is…not.He’s not straight—not when it comes to Charlie, anyway—the things he keeps doing to Charlie are definitely not sweet, and he’s not holding back from letting Charlie know what he wants.Not a problem. Charlie can handle that, too.Charlie can handle anything.Right up until Kevin decides to bust out his sledgehammer, work his handyman magic on Charlie’s dream house, and…well.There’s a reason the local newspaper called him the Chipping Fairford Corpse Finder.
Not That Ridiculous is a 98k-word romantic comedy about a grumpy and overworked coffee shop owner and the sunshine handyman who wants to fix everything. Yes, there are some random dead guys in the mix, but that’s background noise. Who even cares? It’s incidental at best. There’s kissing and first times and way more interesting stuff going on. This is a romance!Book 3 in the Not That series.
