New release: Strawberries & Cream




“The gift of love is not always an easy one to accept, but it is a gift, and it should be accepted with appreciation.”

When efficient, self-controlled business man Ross bumps into a stranger on a crowded platform one morning, he doesn’t know that Cupid has been pulling the strings. And yet, he follows the leads to flamboyant Sebastian who, for all his outward flippancy, hides a shy and sensitive soul. Despite their opposing personalities and lifestyles, they become lovers, but Ross never quite manages to overcome the one thing that keeps him from fully accepting Sebastian—and his own past.

One day, a trip leads them to a secluded hotel on the coast of Scotland. With a little help from Aengus, the hotel’s kind but mysterious owner and his liquid happiness, Ross and Sebastian make another attempt at building a bridge—a bridge they will hopefully be able to cross together, hand in hand.

Cover art reveal: Strawberries & Cream

The cover for Strawberries & Cream was, at least for me, one of the hardest to visualise as there are several strong elements in this story that I wanted to be included. And indeed, the cover artist's first response was: "Really, Sage? REALLY?" But, the brilliant Jess Buffett has once again done a fantastic job at reading my mind and coming up with something stunning. So, here it is:




“The gift of love is not always an easy one to accept, but it is a gift, and it should be accepted with appreciation.”
When efficient, self-controlled business man Ross bumps into a stranger on a crowded platform one morning, he doesn’t know that Fate may have been pulling the strings. And yet, he follows the leads to flamboyant Sebastian who, for all his outward flippancy, hides a shy and sensitive soul. Despite their opposing personalities and lifestyles, they become lovers, but they never quite manage to close the gap between them.

One day, a trip leads them to a secluded hotel on the coast of Scotland. With a little help from Eros, the hotel’s kind but mysterious owner and his liquid happiness, Ross and Sebastian make another attempt at building a bridge—a bridge they will hopefully be able to cross together, hand in hand.


Strawberries & Cream (Hotel Cupid 1) will be published later this month by Me and the Muse Publishing. Keep watching this website for more info or connect with me on Facebook if you haven't done so already: www.facebook.com/sage.marlowe0
