I KILLED SAURON

Summary: Halbrand makes a difficult decision.

Excerpt:

Her words are a salve for his aching heart.

“Whatever it was he did to you, and whatever it was you did... Be free of it.”

“I never believed I could be…,” he breathes out, almost afraid to say it aloud. “Until today. Fighting at your side, I... I felt... If I could just hold on to that feeling, keep it with me always, bind it to my very being, then I...“

“I felt it, too.”

He gasps, and finally dares to look into her eyes, blue as the sea and just as beautiful; a mirror showing a reflection of who she wants him to be. Who he wants to be, too.

He feels a desperate need to hold this fragile moment in a trembling hand and make it last forever, but the spell is ruthlessly crushed by one of Númenor’s soldiers. 

So today is my birthday, happy 36 years to me! And if you want to give me a present, the best thing you could do would be to buy something for yourself -- specifically, One Night in London, the Regency queer-romance collaboration between myself, @luninosity​, and @thebestpersonherelovesbucky, which comes out tomorrow!

One Night in London is the story of one disastrous engagement ball and the three unexpected couples caught up in it. Blurb from the publisher’s site:

James and Nicholas by Shelly Greene (that’s me!): Widowed viscount James Thorne insists he will never remarry -- not because he could never love again, but because he secretly already does. His late wife's brother, Nicholas, is too closely related by law; James's love is unseemly, violating honor and propriety. When Nicholas is badly injured in an accident, will James be shaken into confessing his feelings? Or will he lose Nicholas forever? Dalton and Edward by K.S. Murphy: Tonight's ball announces Dalton Irving's engagement to a man his parents chose for him. But Dalton's intended has made it clear that he wants nothing to do with being married to Dalton. When disaster strikes, and Dalton finds himself alone with Duke Edward Whitman, who has little patience for people and even less for discourtesy, anything can happen during this one night in London. Robert and Anthony by K.L. Noone: Tonight's ball celebrates Robert's engagement and his intended's fortune. But Robert's in love with someone he can't have: his secretary Anthony. Anthony's family once was wealthy, though now he works for a living. But he's had some success as a secret lurid novelist, and he's hopelessly in love with Robert. When disaster strikes, secrets are revealed, and everything changes.

hey, by the way, did you know I write (shittily)?

My story in Under the Cape is a lighthearted, gay, interracial superhero romance! That’s what you’ve always wanted, right? Of course it is! Check out the link below--the whole book is filled with ALL kinds of romance :D
