Sam & Cody's HEA


by Ann Mayburn

Have you ever wondered what happened to the characters of a book you loved after the story ended? Did you try to imagine what their future is like, if they’re happy, if they stayed together? I do this all the time while reading my favorite books, and I even do it for books I’ve written. One couple that stayed with me and begged me to write(yes, I talk to the people in my head) their story were Cody and Sam. 

They are the hero’s in my M/M romance short story, Want, about a love so strong that gender ceases to matter. Cody thought he was as straight as they come, loved women and they loved him back. Then he met the handsome stonemason, Sam, and his whole world turned on its axis. I won’t go much more into their story than that as I don’t want to ruin the book for those that haven’t read it, but I often found myself daydreaming about what their life is like after Want ends.
 
When the opportunity came to write for ‘The Edge’ series I couldn’t think of a more appropriate book to write than a small peek into Sam and Cody’s world. In ‘Cherish’ we get to spend one magical evening with the men, their honeymoon. Yes, it’s super duper hot, but I really hope the story also shows the love between these two men.    Everyone deserves love, everyone deserves an HEA, and I don’t think that desire is any different between two men, a man and a woman, or a woman, a man, a man, a man, a man, and a transvestite. ;) 

I do hope you enjoy this short story and for those of you that have read Want, returning to spend some time with some old friends.

 Leave a comment for a chance to win a copy of Want. And then read Cherish to find out what happens next for Cody and Sam!

  4. Hi ladies! Thank you so much for stopping by.

    Jessica- How can we not? Those people continue to live in our heads, they don't go away once the book ends.

    Viari- Thank you!

    Tamaria- Get thee to a book shop and enjoy some Sam and Cody for less than a price of a cup of fru fru coffee. ;)

  5. I always wonder what happened later with characters. I think that's why I favor series books, so I know what happens later.
