Synopsis
Clay Green
A brotherhood? Monsters? Goddesses? Magic?
The world has become a strange place.
After a life on the run, Clay Green is
rescued by a crazy old lady with a shotgun and an even crazier story about
monsters, goddesses, and a secret brotherhood.
Gifted with the power of the earth, Clay
must locate his missing “brothers” before invading monsters can destroy
everything.
As if that’s not enough to contend with,
Clay can’t keep his hands off the man trying to rebuild the plantation house
he’s temporarily living in.
Dane Briggs
Something strange is going on…
Dane knew restoring the old plantation
house wasn’t going to be an easy job, but at least none of the clients were
going to be underfoot. Since losing his wife and child, the only way Dane can
keep going is to focus on the work.
But that focus crumbles the second Clay
appears covered in blood and barely hanging on to life.
Mystery and danger cling to Clay and the
other men who suddenly show up. A smart man would walk away.
Dane chucks smart out the window in
favor of hungry kisses and the silken slide of skin against skin. He doesn’t
understand what’s happening, but there’s no question that Clay needs him.
He’s just not sure his heart can survive
being broken again if something happens to Clay.
Broken Warrior is the first book in The
Weavers Circle series. It includes fast-paced action, explosions, hurt/comfort,
sexy times, animal shenanigans, wounded hearts, three crazy old ladies, and
magic!
Excerpt
“And were you attacked on your walk?
Some kind of flying suckerfish? Because that’s definitely not a hickey on your
neck,” Baer continued.
Grey lifted his mug of coffee to his
lips again, but he paused long enough to agree. “Definitely not a hickey.”
Without thinking, Clay slapped his hand
to the spot Dane had sucked on during round one—or was it round three? Fuck,
he’d come so many times last night, his balls should need a week to recover,
but his dick was refusing to take orders from his brain or balls. The damn
thing wanted to say “Fuck coffee” and crawl back into bed with Dane.
Laughter rang out in the kitchen, and
Clay groaned. He’d never had a roommate, but he sort of imagined this was what
it was like. Fuck, when all six of them were in the plantation house, it would
be like a goddamn frat house.
Grabbing a mug out of the cabinet, Clay
continued to ignore the duo at the table as he poured himself a cup of liquid
sanity. He took his time, adding a little sugar, and then turned to the table.
Before he took one step, he lifted a hand, and whatever Baer had been about to
say stopped in his throat.
“I won’t discuss it. Not one word,” Clay
said firmly.
Baer’s shoulder’s slumped, and his mouth
snapped shut. He looked like a sad puppy for all of two seconds before he was
up and happy again.
“I’m sure Grey is one of us,” Baer
announced, moving on to an entirely new subject. At least this was one Clay was
willing to tackle, even if he wasn’t sure he had the brainpower for it yet. If
anything, it gave him something to think about besides Dane.
“Yeah, I kind of thought that last night
too.”
Clay settled into a chair across from
Baer and Grey. He could use a long, hot shower and a clean set of clothes, but
one look at the eager expression on Baer’s face and he knew the man would
follow him to the bathroom to discuss this. He could do without them sharing
the bathroom with him.
“When I saw him running with you toward
the Jeep last night, I swear I got the weirdest feeling of déjà vu. I know
we’ve done this all before. Well, maybe not at that club, but the running
together, the fighting together.” Baer rested his forearms on the table and
leaned forward. “Even when we got back to the house, I felt like I knew him.
Known him my whole life.”
“The same way you feel with me?”
Baer nodded.
Clay looked over at Grey, who had both
hands wrapped around the dark-blue coffee mug resting on the table in front of
him. A deep frown was pulling at the corners of his mouth and drawing lines
between his thick eyebrows. Without the threat of death and destruction looming
over their heads, Clay took a moment to actually look at the man. Gray hair
highlighted his temples, and more of it flecked the closely trimmed beard
lining his jaw and chin. He was paler than himself and Baer, as if he were more
likely to spend long hours inside the house, but there was no missing the lean
muscles that filled out his wrinkled button-down shirt. Maybe a swimmer. Or a
runner.
“What do you think?” Clay prodded when
Grey remained silent.
“That this is all stupid, ridiculous,
and utterly impossible,” Grey grumbled. His hands tightened on his mug, but he
didn’t lift it back to his mouth.
“But?”
“I can’t deny I have the same feeling of
déjà vu with both of you. Something-something inside of me keeps claiming that
I know.”
Clay glanced over at Baer. “Did you tell
him?”
“Oh, he fucking told me so much,” Grey
answered for him with a rough bark of laughter. “Powers and goddesses and other
dimensions with alien monsters trying to kill us so they can destroy the world.
I heard plenty last night.”
Closing his eyes, Clay pinched the
bridge of his nose and sighed heavily. Yeah, that was pretty much how it all
sounded. Insane and impossible. That was his life now to a T. Opening his eyes
again, he stared at Baer. “And you told him all this stone-cold sober?”
Baer’s chest puffed up and he grinned
broadly at his friend. “No!”
Clay rolled his eyes.
“I found that cheap bottle of whiskey we
lost. I think Jo hid it. But anyway, we killed that bottle, and I explained
about the pestilents, Weavers, and the Circle.”
Clay looked over at Grey, waiting for
his response on how the hell he took this information while loaded up on cheap
whiskey.
“And then he turned into an ostrich,”
Grey said in a deadpan voice.
“I was trying for a peacock. Something
flashy,” Baer commented in a low voice.
“Broke the coffee table.”
“I panicked!”
“You were drunk!” Clay shouted.
“Birds are hard,” Baer muttered under
his breath, his eyes locked on his coffee mug in front of him in a pout.
