AS THE SEA HORN BLOWS: WIP INTRO
status: second draft, editing. 45k at the moment
genre: fantasy romance novel (actually set in the same world as wtwc and the blood series!)
tropes used: sunshine/grumpy, one sided enemies to lovers, mlm with a side of wlw, the “good lord get this boy some therapy” but he actually does
one sentence pitch: traumatized crime lord falls in love with his (also traumatized) therapist
house lord freddie khel never thought he’d make it out of the diamond cage free-for-all prison alive. but thanks to a deal his best friend sari struck with string pulling calin beryn, he does. he gets to go back to being house lord, conducting business while trying to ignore that he did not come back from the cage the same as he entered.
but calin beryn provides just three problems: 1), he’s the laughingstock of a house who is freddie’s mortal enemy, the house which coincidentally locked freddie up in the first place 2), he’s insisting he become freddie’s therapist as his end of the deal, and 3), he’s the most beautiful man freddie’s ever seen, relentless and immune to freddie’s every attempt to shake him.
when freddie takes the therapy at the concerned request of his best friend sari, a passionate affair arises between him and calin that complicates his already mixed feelings. he assures himself it’s just “part of the mutually consensual therapy” while keeping one thing in mind.
a khel is not supposed to fall in love with a beryn. but calin is nothing like any beryn freddie has ever met.
