The Bastard and the Heir
Eden and Saxon are trying something different and we need your help!
After our original blurb for The Bastard and the Heir was shared, we ended up getting a LOT of questions about this relationship. We want to make things clearer while also making sure you’re excited for the book!
Please read both blurbs below and vote for which one you like best. As thanks, we’ve included the alternate edition cover that will be available through our website.
DARCY
The death of my father not only rips out my heart but tears open my entire life.
His funeral brings the appearance of his bastard son, the byproduct of my father’s apparent misadventures. Wren Porter is a prickly, untrusting beef cake in an ill-fitting suit, and he looks so much more the part of a Ritcherson than I do.
Now it’s on me to teach him the family business while ignoring my attraction to the man the world thinks is my brother.
All it would take is one misstep for him to find out the secret my father literally took to his grave.
He’s not the bastard son.
I am.
Wren’s the true heir to the Ritcherson fortune, but I’ve fought my whole life for my place at the table. If anyone discovers the truth, I’ll lose everything.
I used to think the worst thing that could happen would be losing the company, but the closer I get to Wren, I realize the biggest thing on the line is my heart.
The Bastard and the Heir is a medium angst romance between two men who are absolutely, positootly not related. The world just thinks they are.
WREN
Moms are good at one thing: the guilt trip. It’s the only reason I’m at the funeral of a man I’ve never had anything to do with.
I’ll show up, make her happy, and get out.
At least that’s what I think until I learn daddy dearest has left me a crap load of money and the obligation to learn about the family business. All from his eldest son who looks nothing like the rest of us.
Darcy is the only Ritcherson who doesn’t treat me like the bastard son that I am. He helps me learn, pushes me to be better, and as we work together, we grow closer. For a gazillionaire with a media empire at his fingertips, he’s surprisingly humble.
And sweet.
And saying things he shouldn’t be saying.
The thing is, Mom swears she was never a mistress. Swears she was the only one Dad was seeing when she fell pregnant with me. But with Darcy only a few weeks older, there’s no way that can be the case.
Unless …
Unless the things he whispers when he thinks I’m not listening mean something. The guilt in his eyes when he looks at me would make sense.
If Darcy isn’t my father’s biological child, he’s not the Ritcherson heir.
I am.
And everything Darcy holds dear should be mine.

For me the book was more Darcy’s so of course I vote Darcy.
A combination of both would be better but the Darcy one I like better because it sets it up for a plot twist.
The first one is great but I can see why some people may draw conclusions and shy away.
The second one gives away too much of the plot and it’s easy to see how the story will play out.
Maybe place a warning or disclaimer at the bottom to the effect of it not being incest. I have see this by other authors I have read.
I like Wren’s better!
This was difficult, but I prefer Wren’s version.
Both blurbs are amazing. I think Wren’s gives too much away, but maybe that is because we’ve seen Darcy’s blurb already. No matter which one you go with, it will be perfect. I can’t wait for release day!
Darcy! It gives you a plot twist and draws you in!
