COVER REVEAL - The Starlight Prince

I'm so excited to finally reveal the cover for my forthcoming spicy, science-fiction romance THE STARLIGHT PRINCE, and announce that you can now pre-order your copy ahead of release on 25 February 2025.

ABOUT

A love story written in the stars.

Hunted for being a witch, Madelyne longs for somewhere to belong and performs a full moon spell to find her true love.

Across the galaxy, Kalas completes the aeons-old celestial ritual to show him the location of his fated mate. Enchanted by Madelyne’s beauty, Kalas flies to Earth to find her.

And, with nothing left for her on Earth, Madelyne agrees to accompany Kalas to his home planet.

But as Madelyne adjusts to her new life, old doubts linger, and she just cannot understand why someone like her would be worthy of the crown prince.

Madelyne has spent her entire life being told she doesn’t belong, and now Kalas must convince her it’s more than just ‘fate’ that makes him want to claim her as his own.

Ashford Adams is a tortured man. He vowed never to fall in love again when his heart was shattered twelve years ago. That was until Nyla Stewart crashed into his life like a ball of fire and lit him up again. Everything about her was addictive, but one comment and their no-strings arrangement changed. Turning to the underground was his only way of coping, but it was also his way of losing himself.

Nyla Stewart is feisty and stubborn. After getting her heart broken, she refused to cry. Instead, she threw a party, then made a pact that from there on out, all hook-ups would be friends with benefits only. What she didn’t anticipate was Ashford Adams, the guy who saved her best friend when she was kidnapped. Now he’s her kryptonite.

Pasts and futures start to collide, and the ultimate betrayal will soon be unleashed. Will these two fractured souls stand and fight together or succumb to the darkness of their truths?

For Catherine Syms, it’s all real. Since the very first letter she received, she’s been falling for him. He’s broken, shaped by the environment he was raised in, and she wants to help fix him. Believes she can.

For Raymond Carr, the letters he writes to Catherine are a safety net for when he’s released from prison. He’s playing the role of a lifetime, and she isn’t his only leading lady, but she’s certainly the one who can set him up once he’s free.

 

Looking out for Ant, his cellmate and Catherine’s younger brother, is the best way for Ray to continue getting the kind of money he needs to make a life for himself on the outside. Though it's difficult to deal with the privileged little prick.

 

When he gets a second chance at life, Ray doesn’t intend to waste it.

Will he be able to keep Catherine blind to his intention to use her or will she eventually tire of the bad boy she fell in love with?
