A pretty graphic with the blurb for my novel Bright Spring. text: A cursed demigod with a tragic past. A young prince with a future he can’t face. Is their love powerful enough to save them? Auro has forgotten the sound of a human voice. For four hundred years, he’s been cursed to wake alone on the first day of spring, shepherd the earth through the season, and turn back into a lifeless marble statue at its end. The demure demigod is content with his solitude and his ghosts–or, he thought he was, until he stumbles across a handsome stranger unconscious on his forest floor. Prince Alexios can’t stand it one more second. The reckless royal flees the castle for one night of freedom when his horse spies a snake and throws him, leaving him out cold in the dirt. When he awakens in the gentle care of a beautiful, pink-haired stranger, His Royal Highness refuses to rest until he uncovers the truth about the alluring Auro. Auro is enchanted by the bold princeling, but can’t bear to tell him he’ll turn to stone in three months’ time. Alexios finds in Auro everything he craves but can never have, because he’s destined to marry someone else. Can they work together to free Auro, or will spring fade and see him returned to cold, unfeeling stone? Bright Spring is the dreamy, steamy first book in the Harmony of Seasons queer fantasy romance quartet. If you like cinnamon roll heroes, swoony romance with high stakes fantasy action, and togas, then you’ll love Emmaline Strange’s sword-and-sandal series starter. Buy Bright Spring to defy a curse in the name of love today!

Text from my wip Sage fall: “You’re still planning to fight, then?” “I’m afraid so.” Cedras nodded to himself, and turned to leave. As he swept past, Faro impulsively raised on tip toe to press a kiss to Cedras’s cheek. Cedras, as it happened, possessed exquisite reflexes. Instead of the chaste bone of his cheek, Faro collided with Cedras’s ready, waiting lips. Cedras made a muffled sound of joy against Faro’s mouth, which put an end to any of Faro’s feeble, remaining defenses. It was such an innocent, happy little sound, coming from the giant of a man now shoving a thigh between Faro’s legs to rub against his cock. “You get hard remarkably fast,” Cedras remarked, breathless. “Thank you? Mmmph!” Cedras had already lunged forward to capture Faro’s lips once again. Faro kept telling himself to pull away. And he would. Eventually. Perhaps after one more squeeze of Cedras’s upper arm. One more lick into his fresh tasting mouth, one more roll of his hips against the lean, warm expanse of Cedras’s thigh. One more breath. One more heartbeat. One more. One— Bang. “That’s enough, now—this is an infirmary.” Faro leapt back from Cedras like he’d been burned at the sound of the door swinging open to crack against the wall.

Eager to obey, Cedras opened his mouth and swiped his tongue up from the base of Faro’s shaft to the head. The taste of him was musky, salty, and a little bitter. Cedras had never tasted anything quite like it. “Now,” said Faro, touching his cheek. “Suck the tip.” Cedras drew Faro into his mouth. The head of his cock was soft and spongy, the skin like velvet. So delicate. Faro didn’t say anything else, but he released a shaky breath, and his hands were still softly petting over Cedras’s hair. His thighs trembled beneath Cedras’s palms. There was a fold, a thin fold between the mushroom head of Faro’s cock and its sheath of skin. He decided to go ahead and put his tongue in it. Faro shuddered and whispered, “Yes,” so quietly that Cedras almost missed it. But he didn’t. Now, Cedras really did smile. “More,” Faro said, but it didn’t sound like instruction any more. It was pleading, begging. Cedras pushed forward, taking Faro deeper. With his lips, he mouthed down the shaft veiny shaft, even tasting his balls. Faro’s hips twitched off the bed, like he wanted to push deeper into Cedras’s mouth. “Take the whole thing in that perfect mouth, sweet,” he murmured. “You’re doing beautifully.”

Text from my wip novel Sage fall: Faro went quiet again, but even in the darkness Cedras could see his eyes remained open. They shone. Before Cedras could think of something else relevant to say, Faro’s hand tightened in the hair at the back of Cedras’s head. He yanked him close, pushing his tongue between Cedras’s lips. Cedras could smell the blood from Faro’s wound, feel the scrape of Auro’s sutures against his cheek while Faro plundered his mouth. “Your jaw,” Cedras gasped, wrenching back from their kiss. With the swelling and the bruising, kissing must have been agony. “Fuck my jaw,” said Faro. His words were slurred; the swelling of his face, and possibly the blow to the head were to blame. But it didn’t stop Faro from leaning down to bite at Cedras’s throat, from dragging the tip of his tongue up and down the tendons. Nor from humping madly against Cedras’s thigh. “I want to make good on my side of our wager,” he rumbled in Cedras’s ear. “Faro—” “I’m going to roll you on your back and—” Faro pitched face forward into the pillows beside Cedras. And then he slept for a day and a half.
Text from my WIP Sage fall: He’d decided long ago never to spend more than one night with a lover. The only way he could survive in the arena was absent entanglements, absent distractions. Absent anything that might compromise the vicious, feral instincts of the Shrike. But he was hardly made of stone. Sometime after their second romp, Faro had felt it, the warning bells, the prickle on his skin. The fondness creeping in. Cedras himself was dangerous and addicting, too. His long, sturdy body curled tight around Faro’s own, as if in the circle of his arms Faro could be safe. Cedras had a frank manner, and his open, raw plea for instruction had charmed Faro utterly. How studious, how eager he was to please. How full his lips, how enormous his hands, with their long, elegant fingers. And, there was the way it felt to have those piercing green eyes stare at him like he hung the moon. Not to mention the mighty weapon between Cedras’s legs.
Smoochy text from Sage Fall between Cedras and faro: Cedras stared down at the hand on his leg like he’d never seen one before. “Apologies,” said Faro, pulling his hand back. Before he could withdraw Cedras seized his wrist, keeping his hand in place. He looked up in confusion to see Cedras’s face hovering barely an inch from his own, green eyes wide and piercing. Faro gave his leg another squeeze, and used a free hand to brush a few damp, errant curls out of Cedras’s face. He opened his mouth to speak, but Cedras crashed forward, smothering Faro’s lips with his own. His mouth was aggressive, demanding and hungry. So sharp was the kiss that Faro froze for far longer than was polite. When he regained his wits he sank into it, leaning toward Cedras so he could slide his arms around Faro’s middle. He smelled so clean. No sweat, but no perfumes or oil either. Like rainwater. Just flesh. Just man.

Text from my book sage fall: Faro’s body was taut and warm and squirmy, grinding every part of their heated flesh together, and Cedras had never been so out of his depth. His mouth, his hands, they seemed no longer to belong to him as they moved of their own volition to grab and paw and kiss and bite every inch of Faro he could reach. Cedras had lived a long time, and even before he’d been cursed, he had never done this. He’d never wanted, like this. His cock was iron, and the pressure building in his groin was so acute it was painful. And yet, he knew somehow that stopping would be worse. Stopping would be impossible. Stopping might very well kill him.
