For this week's #FridayFling prompt "vehicle," I have Sascha in a carriage at the beginning of To Love the Dragon King. Find it here: books2read.com/u/b6GxoZ #Romancelandia #Booksky

The high gray stone walls of Castle Grau were bleak against the slate-colored clouds blanketing the sky. Sascha shivered and huddled deeper into his fur-
trimmed cloak, despite knowing the reaction hadn’t been entirely—or even mostly—caused by the raw chill in the air. His first sight of the place he would live for the next several years made him wish to be anywhere else.
But he couldn’t stop staring out the carriage window as they approached the building. He schooled his features carefully into the serene mask he’d practiced for long hours until he could hold onto it even if everything inside him quaked, as it did now. Deliberately forced his breathing to even out.

This week's #FridayFling prompt is "sigh," and I'm sharing a snippet of To Know a Dragon Spy, which came out last week! Find it here: books2read.com/u/m0jkxA #booksky #romancelandia

And now Felix did stretch up to kiss Alan lightly. Alan tightened his arms, not letting Felix pull away, deepening the kiss. Felix let himself melt into it and forget everything for those few moments in the slide of lips and press of his body to Alan’s. If only they could forget it all forever and sneak off together. But neither of them could. Felix had to hold back a sigh as the kiss ended.

I have something from To Know a Dragon Spy—my slow-burn, enemies-to-lovers-ish dragon shifter fantasy romance that came out yesterday!—for this week's #FridayFling prompt "jaw." Here is Felix ignoring his commonsense... Grab Dragon Spy here: books2read.com/u/m0jkxA #booksky #romancelandia

Alan’s eyes never left Felix’s as he lifted a hand. Felix parted his lips on a sharp indrawn breath as Alan’s fingertips met his skin. They moved slowly, trailing over the thin skin of his temple, over his cheek, down his throat until Alan’s large hand curved around the side of his neck, his thumb brushing back and forth over his jaw. “May I?”
Felix drew in a long breath at Alan’s rough whisper. He should say no—this wasn’t a good idea. He nodded, then spoke, “Yes.”

An instance of confusion for this week's #FridayFling from To Know a Dragon Spy, which will be out in less than a week! Preorder your copy here: books2read.com/u/m0jkxA #booksky #romancelandia

“Lysander told you to rest, but I had a feeling you wouldn’t be doing that.” Felix looked up into Alan’s eyes and found confusion, even traces of irritation. Well, he’d see if what he said would change that. If not, he would have answers to all sorts of questions. “So, I thought I’d help you find your way to bed.”
“You...” Realization dawned slowly in Alan’s eyes—Felix would attribute the slow pace to fatigue—and was followed by heat. “Did you now?”

Felix’s appearance was entirely unruffled and as perfectly beautiful as always, anger smoothed away beneath it. The tumbled dark waves of his hair just brushed the collar of his emerald green jacket, the color picked up in the emeralds sparkling at his ears and in one of the rings on his elegant hands. He looked untouchable, but Alan itched to touch.
