Charlie Cochrane is making her clubhouse debut promoting Broke Deep today! She's also giving away a goodie bag!
Be sure to enter below. Good luck!
Broke Deep is the story that refused to sit down and take no for an answer, a
tale that waited patiently in my works-in-progress folder for a setting and a
context to do it justice. When the Porthkennack universe opportunity came
along, Broke Deep bounced into my
mind like the most insistent plot bunny, saying, “That’s my home! Write me
there!”
Reader, I did.
About Broke
Deep
Morgan
Capell’s life is falling apart by small degrees—his father’s dead, his
boyfriend dumped him, and his mother’s in the grip of dementia. His state of
mind isn’t helped by his all-too-real recurring nightmare of the wreck of the Troilus, a two-hundred-year-old ship
he’s been dreaming about since his teenage years.
The
story of the Troilus is interwoven
with the Capell family history. When amateur historian Dominic Watson inveigles
himself into seeing the ship’s timbers which make up part of Morgan’s home,
they form a tentative but prickly friendship that keeps threatening to spark
into something more romantic.
Unexpectedly,
Dominic discovers that one of the Troilus’s
midshipman was rescued but subsequently might have been murdered, and persuades
Morgan to help him establish the truth. But the more they dig, the more vivid
Morgan’s nightmares become, until he’s convinced he’s showing the first signs
of dementia. It takes as much patience as Dominic possesses—and a fortuitous
discovery in a loft—to bring light out of the darkness.
About Porthkennack
Welcome to
Porthkennack, a charming Cornish seaside town with a long and sometimes
sinister history. Legend says King Arthur's Black Knight built the fort on the
headland here, and it’s a certainty that the town was founded on the proceeds
of smuggling, piracy on the high seas, and the deliberate wrecking of cargo
ships on the rocky shore. Nowadays it draws in the tourists with sunshine and
surfing, but locals know that the ghosts of its Gothic past are never far below
the surface.
This
collaborative story world is brought to you by five award-winning, best-selling
British LGBTQ romance authors: Alex Beecroft, Joanna Chambers, Charlie Cochrane, Garrett Leigh, and JL Merrow. Follow Porthkennack and its inhabitants through
the centuries and through the full rainbow spectrum with historical and
contemporary stand-alone titles.
