Our Rogue Fates - by Sarah Glenn Marsh (Hardcover)

Book Synopsis

On the hunt for hidden treasure, two former best friends turned adversaries must put the past behind them if they hope to survive.

This enemies-to-lovers male/male romantic fantasy in the tradition of Legends and Lattes and Sara Raasch crackles with tension and a dash of heat.

When he isn't training as a Warden to become half the hero his father was, Griff Sayer is in the business of breaking hearts all across the town of Mayfair. His ex-best-friend, Mal Pryce, meanwhile, is in business with whatever or whoever puts good money in his hands. Now in their mid-20s, Griff and Mal have only exchanged scathing looks and carefully barbed jabs since the fight that sent them their separate ways years ago. But all that begins to change when an attack Mal plotted for his shady boss leaves Griff near death and their childhood friend Alys is his savior, forcing them back into each other's orbit.

Livid at his boss, Mal makes a deal to earn his freedom and Griff's safety. He has just four weeks to retrieve an ancient treasure from Rotrose Mire, a remote swamp known for its ghostly and beastly dangers, the same treasure Alys's beloved father Rhun had been searching for when he disappeared for good. Armed with a map and a broken blade of Rhun's, Mal sets off--with Alys and a reluctant Griff in tow.

Yet the explosive tension between the two men--along with the dangers of the mire pressing in around them--make for a more difficult journey than any of them could have anticipated. As Griff and Mal peel back their tough facades, and shared feelings heat up in unexpected ways as they learn to trust again, they also realize that someone--or something--seems to be following their path. Someone who doesn't want them to succeed, no friend to their parents' old enemies, but also no friend to would-be heroes...

Our Rogue Fates is a love letter to fans of The Lord of the Rings, especially those who were rooting for Legolas and Aragorn or Sam and Frodo to get together.
