Hey
everyone! I am so happy to be here! I will try to be on my best behaviour
*fingers crossed behind back* I hope your new year has been going swimmingly so
far and will continue to be a delight for you throughout!
Today
I wish to speak about my newest release, SONS OF EROS 1: Savaro's Honey Buns.
This series is a series of novellas, following three brothers as they find
love. But they just don't want any love--they want loves that can save them,
make them feel safe and secure. They want the kind of love we are all looking
for. Also, I wanted these stories to be
on the lighter side of things--the flirtier, happier, hipper side--this is not
to say there aren't any sad bits.
BLURB:
All
his life, people have been leaving Savaro Anatolis; his parents left while he
was at school never to be seen again and lovers only wants him for his money.
The only people he can count on, are his brothers. After he finish his training
to become a chef, he opens his own diner in the medium size town of Eros. When
sexy pro-Basket ball player Jamal Kendrick walks in and demanded to try his
honey cakes--Savario knows he has to keep this sexy morsel at arms length or
Jamal will break his heart.
Jamal Kendrick wants out of the spotlight for a while--he want to go somewhere, where he can at least pretend to be normal. But he didn't prepare for Savaro, his two brothers and fighting demons from Savaro's past. Is love strong enough to save Savaro, or is their relationship doom from the start?

EXCERPT:
Leaving
the office, Savaro closed the door behind him and walked on trembling knees
down the long corridor. He couldn't believe what he'd just done. But it was for
the best. It had to be for the best. A naked little girl darted by him and
Antoinette, one of the Care Workers, chased after her. Normally, Savaro would
stop and scoop her into his arms so Antoinette could get some clothes on her
but this time, he didn't so much as look back. Antoinette bounced into him and
that didn't make him look up either. Walking around a caution, wet floor
sign, he climbed the stairs instead of using the elevator for he knew it would
only make his day worse. The elevator was over sixteen years old and always got
stuck between floors.
Finally he reached the second floor and turned down another hall. Savaro walked into the room where his brothers sat silently and fell, like a full sack, on the bed between Laird and Rajan. He clasped his hands, pressing them nervously between his knees, and hung his head. His whole body was numb to everything around him but the thudding of his heart. It was so loud he wondered if he'd ever be able to hear again.
At sixteen years old the world was on his shoulders but he knew one thing for certain: he had to be loyal to his brothers. They were the only thing, the only thing of any value he had in the whole world and he just couldn't betray that. His eyes burnt with tears but he bit down on his lower lip to focus on another pain than what throbbed in his chest.
"How'd it go?" Laird asked after an eternity of silence.
"It didn't," Savaro said simply, praying they would just let it go.
"But he was really interested in adopting you," Rajan spoke up. "He's rich--you saw the suit he was wearing. I think it was Armani."
Savaro pushed from the seat and walked to the window with the bars on it. The place was like a jail so why hadn't he taken the chance to get out? There were some kids playing outside on the monkey bars. He glanced at the sky and made a face. The clouds were dark and the sun was gone. It was going to rain.
"Come on, Sav," Laird pushed. "There's something you're not telling us."
"Just let it go!"
"Jesus, Sav," Rajan spoke up. "What's the matter with you? We just want to know why he didn't take you. He was actually interested; I could tell. He had that look about him."
"He did want me all right?" Savaro stared out until the rain began pouring from the sky and all the kids ran, screaming back into the orphanage. "He told me of all the good schools I'd go to--my life if I went with him. It was amazing."
"Then I might be a little slow because I don't understand. Why are you back in here?" Laird grabbed Savaro's shoulder and tugged. Savaro flew around and his back slammed into the wall. "Why aren't you gone?"
"I couldn't leave you guys!" Savaro snapped, tears spilling down his cheeks. "I couldn't leave you and he wouldn't take you two so I told him to find another son."
"You idiot!" Rajan screamed from where he was. "You could have gotten a home--left all of this behind you."
"Could you have walked away from Laird and me?" Savaro demanded. He then turned his eyes to Laird. "Could you?"
Laird released him and walked back to the bed. He slumped to it and buried his face into his hands. Rajan went silent and Savaro knew the answer. He turned again to the window and pressed his forehead to the bar. "You guys are my brothers… you are family and you don't split up family."
