For centuries, Sebastian de la Sang has been his father's perfect a vampire prince enhanced with brass machinery, drained of emotion, shaped into a weapon. Then the orcs take him. Bound beneath the Heart Tree, Sebastian expects death. Instead, he gets transformation. Ancient orc magic awakens something in his brass augmentations, stripping away his father's control and leaving him dependent on his captor's blood to survive. Boarstaff should kill him. Instead, the orc warchief feeds him. As Sebastian changes, Boarstaff begins to see not an enemy, but possibility. And when Sebastian offers intelligence to save a human child from the vampire citadel, their fragile connection faces its first test. Attraction builds between captor and captive. The rescue will succeed. But the price will be higher than either imagined, and the war coming for them both has already begun. Captive is a dark MM fantasy romance featuring enemies to lovers, slow burn attraction, intimate blood feeding, found family, and devastating consequences. First in the Brass and Bone trilogy.

A.J. Marcus grew up in Texas. He’s always had a fascination with cowboys, comic books and the great outdoors. He started writing in high school and at times spent more time writing than he did reading, and he’s a voracious reader. Maybe it was growing up in Texas, but his love of rugged men showed up even before he realized what was going on. He likes his men manly, hard, tough and caring, men with hearts, and other parts, as big as Texas. A.J. currently lives near Colorado Springs, Colorado with his loving partner and several horses. The men here are still men. Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/pages/AJ-Marc...

Caitlin was fortunate growing up to be surrounded by family and teachers that encouraged her love of reading. She has always been a voracious reader and that love of the written word easily morphed into a passion for writing. If she isn't writing, she can usually be found studying as she works toward her counseling degree. She comes from a military family and the men and women of the armed forces are close to her heart. She also enjoys gardening and horseback riding in the Colorado Rockies where she calls home with her wonderful fiancé and their dog. Her belief that there is no one true path to happily ever after runs deeply through all of her stories.
