Ebook Giveaway: Branded by Clare London [CONTEST CLOSED]

47 Comments

Many thanks to Clare London for donating an ebook copy of her freshly released m/m fantasy, Branded, for a lucky commenter to win! (Yes, that is Wind-in-Hair Guy!)

Maen is a Gold Warrior, an elite defender of Aza City, respected by his fellow soldiers and favored by his imperious Mistress for services both in and out of the bedchamber. His loyalty and commitment are unwavering until he recruits Dax, a captivating and challenging Bronzeman who, despite his youth and inexperience, seduces Maen with his fierce hero worship. When they’re captured by enemies of the City, Maen risks everything to save Dax: his position, his faith, and even his life. But he loses his lover to the rebels and upon his return to the City is stripped of his rank.

In Aza, where a soldier’s only lawful devotion is to the City and his Mistress’s pleasure, the disgraced Maen is placed under the watchful guard of the arrogant Gold Warrior Zander and relegated to preparing a royal history for the new Queen. But his discoveries cast a new and shocking light on the past and threaten to stir revolution in both citizens and rebels. With the help of the lively and inquisitive scribe Kiel, Maen initiates a chain of events that will change their world forever—and offer him the chance to regain both his honor and his heart’s desire.

Formerly published in two novels: The Gold Warrior and Twisted Brand. Please note that there is some m/f in this book.

About Clare

Clare took the pen name London from the city where she lives, loves, and writes. A lone, brave female in a frenetic, testosterone-fueled family home, she juggles her writing with the weekly wash, waiting for the far distant day when she can afford to give up her day job as an accountant. She’s written in many genres and across many settings, with novels and short stories published both online and in print. She says she likes variety in her writing while friends say she’s just fickle, but as long as both theories spawn good fiction, she’s happy. Most of her work features male/male romance and drama with a healthy serving of physical passion, as she enjoys both reading and writing about strong, sympathetic and sexy characters.

Clare currently has several novels sulking at that tricky chapter 3 stage and plenty of other projects in mind… she just has to find out where she left them in that frenetic, testosterone-fueled family home.

All the details and free fiction are available at her website. Visit her today and say hello!

You can also visit Clare at her blog, on Facebook, MySpace, Twitter, GoodReads, and the GLBT Wiki. Whew! When do you have time to write, Clare?!? ;)

  1. I can’t see the cover but know how wind-in-hair-guy looks like 😉 I actually just added this book to my wishlist today, the blurb captured my attention.

    PS: I have to send you an e-mail with accover I discovered this AM of ab guy with man boobs 😀

  4. Thanks for the heads up on the cover photo! Ugh, that one really fought me for some reason. I think it’s fixed now…

  9. Wow, Wind-In-Hair guy sure does get around a lot…. Boxes are classic hiding spots. Good choice, May, I can barely see you!

    😀

    Count me in please!

  16. Please enter me in this contest. I thought I’d caught up when I read ’72’, but no, there’s a new release . . .

    can’t wait!

  26. Good Lord, who is that hitherto unforseen attractive cover model with the wind tousling his hair??? How lucky is Ms London to have him on her cover?! *smirk*

    PS would you mind changing ‘historical’ in your opening blurb to ‘fantasy’? because I don’t really have a whit of historical basis to the story, it’s all from my own world-building mind :). Sorry to be any trouble.

  30. It’s all well and good till May gets bored and makes it a litter box. 🙂

    Please enter me.

  31. Those are a lot of abs staring at me. The oiled up chests are almost blinding. But please count me in since I have no willpower against abs.

  35. Please count me in! Maybe this time I’ll manage to wait till the contest is over before I have to buy the book.

  37. Any self-respecting book addict (ahem. Not me, of course) would recognize the box that May is hiding in. I mean, the box that there is definitely no kitty hiding inside, no sir, because I can’t see anything.
