Angel No More

M. A. McRae

‘Angel No More' is the story of Bob Kelly. Bob hated being 'Angel,' and only wants to put those years behind him.

For Ian Mackender, manager of Penwinnard, Bob is a mystery. He was discovered lost and injured, alone on a country road. He refused to explain what happened to him and the name and birthdate he supplied matched no records.

He does have a story to tell, a tale of routine kidnaps, murders, and abuse. Yet he denies that he was involved in such a thing. ‘Someone’ had told him about it.

When the story finally breaks, the ramifications will be felt worldwide.

Penwinnard

M. A. McRae

He calls himself Bob Kelly, but who is he? He's not saying.

The boys of Penwinnard Boys’ Home call themselves ‘winnards,’ falcons. If a winnard is attacked by an outsider, then the outsider is not facing one of them, but all of them.
Ian Mackender is the manager. He knows his boys, he knows the good and bad of them. He understands them better than they understand themselves. But this new one? He doesn’t understand Bob.

Note that this is same story as 'Angel No More,' but the sanitised version - no sex onscreen. I want to know which to go with. All opinions welcomed.

The King's Favourite

M. A. McRae

If you fell in love with Shuki in "Not a Man,' you will enjoy 'The King's Favourite.'

It was the greatest scandal that Oxford had ever known. The culprits were the sons of the rich and famous, even of Royalty. The trials went on for years, and the story of the eunuch's uttermost beauty and desirability spread.

Shuki now lives in his own remote home, overlooked by his beloved mountains. He is happy with his family, his studies, and is respected.

Feroz Hady is just sixteen, yet he is the all-powerful monarch of an oil-rich country of Arabia. When an important and complex trade deal hangs in the balance, an extra concession is made. Shuki’s freedom is traded away by his own country, a gift for a king.

There are stories from ancient times of eunuchs standing at the side of kings, wielding enormous influence, and influencing the fate of nations. Can it happen again?

This is Book 2 of the Shuki series.
