Please give a warm welcome to Barbara Elsborg! I’ve lending her some space here so she can tell you all about her upcoming book, Hold On.

From Barbara:

Hi everyone! For those who have never heard of me – and there are probably around 7.888 billion of you – I write gay romance in different genres and with many tropes – contemporary, romantic suspense, paranormal with vampires, wolves, faeries, angels, demons and everything in between, and the tropes are too numerous to mention. My books tend to feature damaged guys with broken hearts (I am a cruel author) but no matter how dark their back story, there is always a happy ever after (because I am also kind) and no matter how difficult a journey I put them through, there is always a space for banter and humour. (Well, I try to be funny)

My newest book is second in the Fate We Make series but it is a standalone.  Release date 15^th October.

Hold On

Sixteen long years behind bars. Almost half his life. But finally, freedom and a future Dominic can see. Yet as he steps into the world, a whispered threat shatters his hopes of a fresh start. He’ll never be able to stop looking over his shoulder.

Ren narrowly survives the most dangerous situation of his life, but at least his attackers think he’s dead. Spending the summer stuck on his brother’s archaeological dig isn’t his idea of fun, but it beats being fussed over by his mother. It’s as good a place as any to heal physical and mental scars, and he has plenty of those.

The roar of Ren’s motorbike is his lifeline, the one thing that makes him feel truly alive. But a moment’s lapse in concentration and he knocks Dominic off his feet. The accident brings together two damaged souls whose pasts won’t stay buried. With danger on their tail, hanging on to hope—and to each other—won’t be easy.

Join Dominic and Ren as they fight to keep the shadows of the past at bay and their future bright. In a world where love is fragile, two hearts learning to heal may just discover love is worth the risk.
