The Shining Ones By Dusk Peterson

Author Name: Dusk Peterson

Book Name: The Shining Ones

Series: The Eternal Dungeon

This is a side story to the series.

Release Date: January, 2016

Blurb:

“He was skilled by now at making innocuous remarks in the presence of the Shining Ones. Nobody had even guessed that he knew what they were.”

The Eternal Dungeon is filled with prisoners who shine like the sun.

No one knows this except Barrett Boyd, a guard notorious for having survived a disciplinary punishment that should have killed him. He is also notorious for his rebellion against the authorities of the royal prison. At a pivotal time in the Eternal Dungeon’s history, when abusive practices of the past may finally be abolished, Barrett finds himself drawn to the mystery of a younger guard, Clifford Crofford, who claims that he and Barrett are love-mates.

Barrett has no memory of this. He has no memory of anything before his punishment. What does the past matter, compared to Barrett’s determination to protect the prisoners? But Barrett cannot ignore his bond with Clifford, and the closer that Barrett comes to Clifford, the more the danger arises that Clifford will question Barrett’s sanity. . . .

This novelette (miniature novel) of disability and love can be read on its own or as a side story in The Eternal Dungeon, an award-winning speculative fiction series set in a nineteenth-century prison where the psychologists wield whips.

The Eternal Dungeon series is part of Turn-of-the-Century Toughs, a cycle of alternate history series (Dark Light, Waterman, Life Prison, Commando, Michael’s House, and The Eternal Dungeon) about disreputable men on the margins of society, and the men and women who care for them. Set between the 1880s and the 1910s, the novels and stories take place in an alternative version of America that was settled by inhabitants of the Old World in ancient times. One of the series in the cycle, Waterman, combines elements of the 1910s with retrofuturistic imagery from the 1960s.

Book: Six

Book may be read as a standalone

Release Date: January 19, 2016

Blurb:

Teen shelter volunteer Rich searches for love until Diego, from LVMPD Search and Rescue, finds him.

After declaring his love life officially dead, Rich wonders if maybe he should stick with his shifter book boyfriends instead. It’s not as if he has much free time to date anyway. Between working long hours at a coffee shop, guarding his sodas from his hygienically challenged roommates, and running the programming at the Vegas LGBTQ teen shelter he founded – how could there ever be space for love in his life?

Diego Espinoza enjoys taking his downtime from working Search and Rescue, at the Lucky Cup coffee shop. He can set up his laptop, peruse good sport climbing spots and observe the blond barista he’s been pining over for a while. He imagines that the pretty boy has more offers than he knows what to do with, so it takes Diego time to work up the nerve to approach him.

Rich isn’t so sure about the rough looking Diego – even if he’s always thought he was hot – but once he decides to gives Diego a chance, there’s an immediate heat and connection that takes him by surprise. As they learn more about each other and try to find the way to a future together, strange and scary things start to happen.

It isn’t until Rich is injured in a bizarre accident that it becomes clear that there’s someone out there who not only doesn’t want Rich to find love – they want him dead.

Excerpt:

Diego turned his attention to Rich. “Do you have a lot left to do tonight before you can leave?” He was done being subtle.

Rich’s smile turned shy. It was one of Diego’s favorite looks on him.

“No, I just have to help straighten up. But after that I –“

The distinctive ringtone of his work number sounded. “I’m sorry, Rich. Give me a sec.”

Rich nodded. “I’ll go help Austin.”

On impulse, Diego stole a quick peck on Rich’s lips. The brilliant smile he received in return had been more than worth it. As he answered his phone, he ogled Rich’s hot little ass, the light sway of his hips adding just the right touch of wiggle as Rich made his way to the other side of the room.

“Espinoza here.”

“Need you to gear up and get to the Huey as quick as possible. I’ll brief you when you arrive.”

Commander Vernon sounded unusually stressed. Diego glanced down at the bag he’d almost finished stuffing with the items he’d used for the demo. He even had the basics of his uniform already on.

“Copy that, Commander. On my way.”

He shoved his phone back into his pants pocket right as Rich bounded back to him. The moment he made eye contact with him, Rich’s smile faded.

“What’s wrong?” Rich brought his hand up to Diego’s arm as he’d spoken, as if to comfort him.

Someone who really cares about other people.

It occurred to him in that moment that endlessly explaining about his job and why it mattered to help others wouldn’t be an issue with Rich the way it’d been with previous partners.

“I’ve been called in. Looks like we’ll have to wait till tomorrow night to spend more time together after all.”

Rich nodded, not a single trace of a pout on his face. “I understand.” He furrowed his brow. “I hope it isn’t something too bad.”

Diego thanked whoever was listening that he’d finally worked up the nerve to ask Rich out. “Me too.” He hoisted his heavy gear bag off the table. “I’ll text you where to meet me for dinner tomorrow morning.”

“Um…” Rich appeared conflicted. “I know we barely know each other, but do you think you could text me when you get back from your…mission or whatever it is? Just to let me know you’re okay?”

Diego swallowed, a thickness in his throat. “Of course I could.” Diego leaned in then took another soft kiss from Rich. “Until later.”

“Yeah. Later.” Rich’s voice had been quiet, his eyes locked on Diego’s the entire time.

Beautiful green eyes for me to drown in.

It seemed like a wonderful idea.

If there happens to be some friendly bondage or floggings involved, she doesn’t begrudge her characters whatever their filthy little heart’s desire.
