Vampires Vampires Vampires on Patreon!

A thrilling new story begins on Patre♡n! Welcome to Vampires Vampires Vampires , a M/M/M Victorian vampire romance.

~

“There’s the old hulk now, my lad! What d’you think o’ her?”

At his captain’s bidding, Octavio Peixinho peered out the coach window at the mansion appearing through the trees at a bend in the long winding road. Sitting as he did with his back to the horses, he had to lean forward quite a ways to catch sight of it.

The sight proved worth catching. Ferndale Priory loomed over the landscape like a palace. Bigger, certainly, than the bark Octavio and his captain had left behind in New Bedford. Captain Ferndale had told him how the house stood on the ancient ruin of a monastery, and Octavio could see some hints of it in the style of the house now—the pointed arch of the tall and narrow windows, the notched rim of the roof and towers, and the spires springing up like whale-spouts from every corner. One of the spires, however, had broken off, and this, combined with the patches of crumbling stone, the empty shadows lurking behind most of the windows, and the sunken-in look of the roof over the eastern flank, marred the magnificence of its immense size.

Octavio turned back to his captain. “Seems hardly seaworthy.”

Captain Ferndale gave a hearty laugh. He’d seen some fifty-odd years of life—and most of them at sea—yet he wore his wisdom well, with a handsome smile showing through his close-trimmed beard. “I’d say ‘thar she blows,’ but the chimneys ain’t lit. Daresay my nevvy can’t afford to, with what debts my brother left him.”

Hold Fast 2 - Hold Faster is on Patreon!

Hold Fast 2 - Hold Faster is up on Patre♡n! Wherein we glimpse the ongoing romance of Morgan Turner and Sir Evelyn Winthrop.

~

Morgan raised an eyebrow. “Did you enjoy traveling as a merchant seaman?”

“It had its moments,” Evelyn admitted.

“Do tell.” The trace of a smile graced the corners of Morgan’s lips, which was as good as a grin on another man’s face.
“The boiler room, for one.”

This statement did nothing to dispel Morgan’s bemusement. “I never realized you had such a passion for coal.”

“I could take or leave the coal. My fellow stokers, on the other hand…” Evelyn trailed off just long enough for Morgan to catch his drift before he dove ahead. “Six brawny men to each furnace, all stripped to the waist.”

Morgan’s bemusement vanished.

Evelyn continued. “Sweat gleaming in the firelight as we bend and twist to shovel coal. Thrusting our lances into the flames and withdrawing to feed the draught.”

A hard swallow traveled down Morgan’s slender throat.

The Train Job – Rowena Althorp x Rebekah on Patreon!

A new short story is up on Patre♡n! Wherein we glimpse the romantic adventures of Miss Rowena Althorp.


~

Before Rebekah could ask her name, or kiss her again—both impulses nearly overpowering her better sense—the lady stood, smoothed her skirts over the ruin of her pocket, and departed the train car as silent and sedate as a nun strolling the halls of her abbey.

A Willing Canvas - John Halloway x Lord Cyril Graves on Patreon!

A Willing Canvas is up on Patre♡n! Wherein we glimpse the romance of John Halloway and Lord Cyril Graves beyond society's prying eyes.

~

“Well?” John demanded.

Cyril licked his lips. “By Jove, that’s impressive.”

John’s irritation transformed into delight at the rare compliment. Whether Graves spoke of the pencil sketch or the flesh-and-blood contusions, both were John’s handiwork, and gave him no small glow of pride.

Though he still very much wanted his sketchbook back.

Solar Fantasy – Aubrey & Lindsey Retold – Ch. 35 up on Patreon!

Scene 35 of Solar Fantasy – Aubrey & Lindsey Retold is up on Patre♡n! Wherein we reach the conclusion of this romantasy.

~

Newspapers lay scattered across the table. Aubrey glimpsed a few headlines—ARTEMIS ARRESTED and A ROYAL SLAYING amongst them, before Lindsey swept them aside into an untidy pile and stacked books atop them to keep them folded.

“Don’t look at those,” Lindsey added, a little unnecessarily, as he returned to Aubrey.

Solar Fantasy – Aubrey & Lindsey Retold – Ch. 34 up on Patreon!

Scene 34 of Solar Fantasy – Aubrey & Lindsey Retold is up on Patre♡n! Wherein a duel is fought.

~

Someone screamed.

Lindsey whirled.

Carlisle stood by the open pistol case. His clothes had torn in his escape from the clutches of the guards who even now surged to retake him. He had a dueling pistol in his hand. He raised it.

Chartreuse flashed between them as Emmeline leapt for his arm.
