Breeches-ripper is live!

October 21, 2021 by Keira Andrews Leave a Comment

It’s release day for my breeches-ripper historical fantasy! I’m so excited that my little escapist breeches-ripper fantasy that I started in lockdown in April 2020 is finally out in the world. This “little” tale took on a life of its own and became an epic two-book duet, and I’m very proud of this labour of love. I hope you enjoy Jem and Cador’s action-packed journey to their HEA!

“This was absolutely, utterly delicious: I can’t think of a different word to describe this book. It left me swooning and grinning like a fool…. It was enemies-to-lovers at its finest and it had everything I love in a romance novel: hate to love, forced marriage, size difference, accidentally catching feelings (whoops), first times, scorching hot sex scenes, a bit of kink, possessiveness and jealousy, angst and scheming, secrets and betrayals. This is a high-stakes romance and I loved every single word.”

New breeches-ripper romance!

October 14, 2021 by Keira Andrews Leave a Comment

I’m so excited that my gay fantasy series is coming Oct 21! I started writing the first book in April 2020 in lockdown. I needed to escape to a completely fictional world, and I created this Viking-ish hero and a virginal young prince from a summery land forced into marriage. Jem and Cador’s story is fantasy, but there’s no magic or dragons, etc.

I only intended their journey to be one book, but this tale took on a life of its own! After a year and a half of work, I’m thrilled to finally be sharing these books with you. I hope you love reading Jem and Cador’s opposites-attract romance as much as I loved writing it! You can pre-order now or borrow in KU very soon!

I’m delighted to re-release my historical adventure The Station. I made some minor tweaks after getting my rights back from Loose Id, and since this story will be new to most of you, I hope you enjoy it! The Australian Outback is a starkly beautiful place, and it was a real pleasure to imagine just how wild and new it would have been in the 1800s. Thanks to Dar Albert for the gorgeous new cover!

Two men exiled to an untamed land must capture love.

Ever since Cambridge-bound Colin Lancaster spied on stable master Patrick Callahan mastering another man, he’s longed for Patrick to do the same to him. When Patrick is caught with his pants down and threatened with death for his crime, Colin speaks up in his defense and confesses his own sinful nature. They’re soon banished to the faraway prison colony of Australia.

Patrick never asked for Colin’s help, and now he’s stuck with the pampered fool. While it’s true that being transported to Australia is a far cry from the luxury Colin is accustomed to, he’s determined to make the best of it and prove himself. Patrick learned long ago that love is a fairy tale, but he’s inexorably drawn to sweet, optimistic Colin despite himself.

From the miserable depths of a prison ship to the vast, untamed Australian outback, Colin and Patrick must rely on each other. Danger lurks everywhere, and when they unexpectedly get the chance to escape to a new life as cowboys, they’ll need each other more than ever.

This historical gay romance from Keira Andrews features an age difference, an eager virgin, hurt/comfort, and of course a happy ending.

2018 plans

December 31, 2017 by Keira Andrews 12 Comments

As 2017 draws to a close, I’m reflecting back and peering at the road forward and my writing plans for 2018. Lots of exciting projects are in the works!

This past year started slowly for me with publishing, largely because I was lucky enough to take a six-week trip through Australia with my mom. It was absolutely a dream come true. My dad had always wanted to visit Australia and never did in the end, and I’m so grateful to have shared the experience with my mom. I backpacked through Oz twenty years ago, and it was lovely to revisit some places and explore new ones.

Elephant Cove at Greens Pool, Western Australia

I published a single father/kidnapping adventure, Road to the Sun, in May, republished my spy caper, The Chimera Affair, in June, and spent the summer writing, writing, writing. The last part of 2017 really ramped up after I published Kidnapped by the Pirate at the end of October.

I never know how a book will be received, and historicals tend not to sell as well as contemporary. Yet this book exceeded all my expectations, which has been a real treat. I grew up on bodice-rippers, and it was such a pleasure to write a breeches-ripper! I’m thrilled by how much readers seem to have enjoyed the story.

In November and December, I published two holiday romances, In Case of Emergency, and Eight Nights in December, which was a reworking of two old stories. I was lucky enough to have Emergency go to #1 on Amazon’s gay romance charts, which was a milestone for me and a wonderful way to close out the year. I also added a few new translations to my growing collection.

Coming down the road in 2018

  1. I’ll be re-releasing my Australian historical adventure The Station in mid-January. Dar Albert has made a gorgeous new cover I’ll be sharing with you in the next week or so!
  2. I’ll also be re-releasing two figure skating novellas, Cold War and Holding the Edge, in one new volume in early February just in time for the Olympics.
  3. I’m delighted to announce that I’ve signed a contract with Tantor to release Kidnapped by the Pirate in audio in 2018. It’s still early stages, but I’ll share more info when I have it. I’m absolutely delighted to finally be delving into the world of audio books.
  4. My first German translation, of Beyond the Sea, is coming quite soon! Stay tuned for more details.
  5. There will also be more French and Italian translations coming this year.
  6. My next new novel will be the as-yet-untitled sequel to Valor on the Move. I have about 14,000 words, and I’ll be working on it for the next couple months. Planning to release in March or April.
  7. Then I’ll be writing the third book in the Kick at the Darkness series. Yes, more Adam and Parker! I also really want to write a fourth book that would take place several years later and center on Jacob. My plan is to write these books this summer and release them in Sept and October. Fingers crossed! We’ll see how it goes.
  8. I’ll definitely be writing a Christmas romance, and I’d love to do a full novel instead of a novella.
  9. Since my former publisher, Loose Id, is closing its doors in May, I’ll have the rights back to my final book with them—Love Match. This was my very first novel, published in 2006. I will definitely be republishing it, but I want to take some time to revise and re-edit it. I think I’ve learned a lot about writing in the last 10+ years, and I’m sure Luke and Jesse’s story can be strengthened. So I’ll be poking at that when time permits, and I definitely want to have it back up for sale before the end of the year.
  10. I’ll be attending the RT convention in Reno in May and my first GRL in October in Virginia. Hope to see you there!

You know what they say about the best-laid plans, but I’m knocking on wood that everything on my list will go smoothly! Thank you so much for your support, and here’s to an outstanding 2018. Wishing you health and happiness on the road ahead. <3

p.s. I’d hoped to write a fourth novel for my Amish boys, Isaac and David, this year. It looks like it’ll be 2019, but it’s still very much on my to-do list!

New release!

October 26, 2017 by Keira Andrews Leave a Comment

It’s release day for my new pirate romance! I hope you enjoy reading this breeches-ripper as much as I enjoyed writing it. I was aiming for a saucy, swashbuckling tale with heart, and I hope I succeeded. <3

Will a virgin captive surrender to this pirate’s sinful touch?

Nathaniel Bainbridge is used to hiding, whether it’s concealing his struggles with reading or his forbidden desire for men. Under the thumb of his controlling father, the governor of Primrose Isle, he’s sailing to the fledging colony, where he’ll surrender to a respectable marriage for his family’s financial gain. Then pirates strike and he’s kidnapped for ransom by the Sea Hawk, a legendary villain of the New World.

Bitter and jaded, Hawk harbors futile dreams of leaving the sea for a quiet life, but men like him don’t deserve peace. He has a score to settle with Nathaniel’s father—the very man whose treachery forced him into piracy—and he’s sure Nathaniel is just as contemptible.

Yet as days pass in close quarters, Nathaniel’s feisty spirit and alluring innocence beguile and bewitch. Although Hawk knows he must keep his distance, the desire to teach Nathaniel the pleasure men can share grows uncontrollable. It’s not as though Hawk would ever feel anything for him besides lust…

Nathaniel realizes the fearsome Sea Hawk’s reputation is largely invented, and he sees the lonely man beneath the myth, willingly surrendering to his captor body and soul. As a pirate’s prisoner, he is finally free to be his true self. The crew has been promised the ransom Nathaniel will bring, yet as danger mounts and the time nears to give him up, Hawk’s biggest battle could be with his own heart.

This May-December gay romance from Keira Andrews features classic tropes including: a tough alpha pirate too afraid to love, a plucky virgin captive half his age, enemies to lovers, first-time sexual discovery, and of course a happy ending.

Cover reveal and ARC giveaway

October 18, 2017 by Keira Andrews 126 Comments

Hello friends! I’m super excited to share the cover for my new pirate romance! I asked Dar Albert to create a cover that captured the bodice-ripper vibe from the classic romances I loved in my teens. (Virginia Henley, Kathleen E. Woodiwiss, Johanna Lindsey, etc.) I think she nailed it! 😀

I loved writing this book. I wanted to hit all the classic tropes: alpha pirate, virgin captive, age difference, and hate to love. Of course there is also swashbuckling and a happily ever after! I hope you’ll enjoy it.

Can two men from different worlds find their way together in an untamed land?

canoe
Voyageurs is a 15k novella previously pubbed by Torquere in 2010 as part of its Spice it Up line. The spice I chose was turmeric, and I really enjoyed finding a way to feature it in Simon and Christian’s tale. Fortunately for me, turmeric is known for its healing properties, so it worked perfectly given the likelihood of injury while canoeing hundreds of miles through the dangerous Canadian wilderness. 😀

The story’s been sitting on the shelf a few years, so I’m making it a freebie and getting it back out there. I hope you enjoy!

Voyageurs 360x540


Two men battle the wilderness—and their desire.

It’s 1793, and Simon Cavendish needs to get to his station at Fort Charlotte, a fur-trading outpost in the untamed Canadian wild. The fort is only accessible by canoe, and there’s just one man daring enough to take him on the perilous, thousand-mile journey from Montreal this late in the summer.

Young Christian Smith, the son of an Ojibwe mother and absent English father, is desperate for money to strike out on his own, so he agrees to take Simon deep into the bush. As they travel endless lakes and rivers, the arduous expedition takes its toll.

Yet the attraction between Simon and Christian, two men from vastly different worlds, grows ever stronger. Locked in a battle against the wilderness and elements, how long can they fight their desire for each other?

Note: This gay historical romance from Keira Andrews features adventure in the wilderness, outdoor sex, and a happy ending. Standalone, free romance novella.
