Harey

Webb
Gwas can outrun a horse, knows how to
hide and steal, but is ignorant of the ways of men. The last thing he
expects when he is rescued from a miserable existence by a blue-eyed,
blond haired angel is to be promised as a Druidic sacrifice to
Eostre. Unfortunately, the only direction Gwas wishes to flee is
straight into the arms and knife of his savior, Gareth.

Maura knows Gareth is no angel, but she
adores him with a passion that time and loneliness cannot dent. When
he rides in carrying an injured lad who fears her on sight, she is
drawn to open her heart to the abused orphan as well.
Gareth is caught between his liege lord
and brother’s fist, and an emotional dilemma that grows harder and
harder to deny with every passing season. If he must defy man and
gods in order to embrace his heart’s desires, so be it.
When the clash of old and new religions
puts lives in peril, ultimate sacrifice bears witness to enduring
love. Winter gives way to spring, and the evolution of a colorful
myth spreads across the land.
About the Author:
Sci-fi, paranormal, suspense,
indefinable, I’m an author who adds sweet and spicy layers of
romance to any genre.
I was born in upstate New York, land of
cows, snow, drizzle and sometimes a ray of sun. Second oldest with
four siblings, I spent my childhood reading everything I could get my
hands on. Adolescence found me questioning the validity of everything
I read, along with acquiring the usual scars of high school.
Early twenties, I headed for the
Pacific. A stop off to visit a friend in the desert turned into years
in Tucson, Arizona. I worked as a waitress, bartender, greenhouse
worker, greyhound trainer, while swapping a psych major for one in
plant sciences at the University of Arizona. Fired for skipping
employee meetings at restaurants, employee gambling at the dogtrack,
refusing to use live rabbits as bait, it fell to planting cacti and
bartending to pay my way through college.
My late twenties found me running
family owned greenhouses and florist shops in New York. When the
reality of retail life became too mundane to handle, I began an
obsessive love of creating more interesting worlds.
Excerpt:
I am no angel. Gareth’s
shoulders slammed into the ground. A heavy body covered him, and the
adrenalin jolting through him made him feel like a powerful animal.
But I am in heaven. He tugged his arms free, wrapped them
around Harey and grasped the back of Harey’s head. And I do not
care if adulterous sodomites go to hell. He jerked him upward and
took his lips.
No time for
tender exploration. He had to show Harey who he belonged to, and it
was not some bloodthirsty deity, or the daughter of a mass murderer.
What if Aethelfrith, the devil who had ordered one thousand, one
hundred and sixty-five men killed so they could not pray against him,
had still lived? Harey would have walked into his knife with a smile,
a pet hare, and promises of painted eggs.
I will not let this man leave me
again. Never. Not ever. He’s mine. Gareth fought back his moan
and deepened his kiss. Harey tasted so good, fresh and sweet like
Maura, but firm and bony where she was all curvy softness. He
intensified the pressure, relishing the feel of the lips he had
desired for so long, and Harey yielded. Gareth rammed his tongue in,
danced around, and then back out to repeat. He had never held a body
to mirror his own like this, captive over him, and the sheer joy of
not being gentle saturated him.
