WeWriWa: The Quiet One – PRINCE OF HONOR

It’s always the quiet ones you never see coming. Those shadows in the corner, those whispers at the back of your neck. But don’t confuse calm with passivity because like deep rivers, Turow Terriot, my strong, silent hero in PRINCE OF HONOR, runs deep with potential undertows that can carry you away . . . as bad girl Sylvia Terriot quickly discovers. Though hardened by the demons she carries, she’s always had a tender spot for the bashful Turow who, unlike his rowdy, lusty brothers, saw more than lovely features and sinful curves . . . he saw a future path no one could discourage him from taking – even the lady in question. When his brother, their clan’s king, charges him with bringing the traitorous object of his longing from New Orleans to their Lake Tahoe compound to face a potential death sentence for traitorous activities, will he be forgiven for the crime of passion that bonds jailor and fugitive together for a lifetime? Perhaps not . . .

Turow never saw his brother’s hand coming, the smack to the side of his head ringing his bells. 

“What the hell were you thinking . . . what were you thinking with Bonding, that’s forever, Row, sharing your dreams, your genetics, your families, every damned thing? Would she have jumped just as quickly if Rico or Colin had asked her back into the arms of our family or did you put your little fantasy away long enough to even wonder?” 

He was now. 

“Dammit, Row, I thought you were the level headed one, and now there’s nothing I can do to change this.” 

“I don’t want you to, Cale.” 

His answer surprised them both, but once he’d put it out there, Turow realized the truth in his own heart, that he had no doubts or regrets over what he’d done and wasn’t ashamed to admit it. 

“I love her, Cale, am crazy about her, have been since the first time I saw her and haven’t been able to think about anyone else, don’t want to be with anyone else. She’s it for me, the one.”

PRINCE OF HONOR is the first in my four book “House of Terriot” series, a spin-off of the “By Moonlight” dark shapeshifter books I’ve been scrolling through over the past month or two. These four books, and the brothers they feature, move the action, along with Turow and Sylvia, between New Orleans and Lake Tahoe where, from their secluded family compound, the Terriots have fiercely protected their territory and defended their clan for generations. Prepare for all those rules to be broken . . .

I hope you enjoy meeting (or revisiting) these four couples this spring as I pick up steam writing the concluding book of the series, RISE BY MOONLIGHT. A journey about to come full circle.
