Novels by Helen Pritchard

Seb and Nate go to the cells to find the three men being processed by the on-duty guards. They’re all having a cavity search, partly as a matter of course, but also the guards are taking their time. Making sure they really feel it. Seb and Nate wait in the guard room for their belongings to be brought out. Nate is pacing a little, but he always has a lot of nervous energy around bad guys. And these three definitely deserve that title.Seb chooses to ignore him, choosing a tray to look through instead. There’s a phone, which he chucks to Nate. Who nods and sits to work on the thing, while Seb goes through the first guy’s wallet. These were clearly amateurs, it still has his photo ID. He puts that to one side, there’s also a watch, but nothing else of interest. Seb grabs the second tray while the first tray is locked away.Another phone, he slides it across the table to Nate. Another wallet, and another photo ID. He puts it with the first, shaking his head in disbelief that they’re this

George had watched Celine go from feeling completely overwhelmed, to confident that she and Fi could conquer the world, if they stood together in the right dresses. He leaves them to their planning, and makes his way to his office to check in with Micah. When he gets there, Micah is chatting on speakerphone to Nate and Seb, who are apparently getting close to where the computer that had received the files from the flash drive is.“Should be somewhere on your right, there’s a house on the map I’ve got here.” Micah’s looking intently at his screen. George comes round behind him to see what’s going on. There’s a map with two blue dots, one is moving, and the other is still. The one moving is clearly Nate and Seb, probably in a car, based on the speed they’re moving. Nate mutters,“Okay, I can see a house, parking up.” The sound changes as they get out of the car and move towards the house. He hums, “Whose house is this supposed to be, Micah?” Micah taps at his keyboard for a moment then

It’s a mad idea, one they might not have to follow through with, but it would need to be dealt with at some point, so why not now? She’s going to be Queen Luna of France, so she’ll be on public display regardless of anything else going on. Her scars will need explaining, and hopefully they’ll be accepted. Or she’d be stuck in long sleeves forever. And with summer not far away, there was no way she’d tolerate that heat with long sleeves on.“I think we need to be clear, but obviously sharing too much could make you look like an attention seeker. Which clearly isn’t the case.” Eva is helping her draft a public statement to explain her situation, including her time with Solomon, and the reason for her scars. Depending on what Nate finds with the phone and flash drive, they might have to release this before the end of the day, and it needs to be right.“True, but we need enough information so that if the videos surface, people will see them for what they are, and not make me out to be som

Seb had taken many people to the cells over the nine years he’d been working as George’s Delta. Most of them are drunk idiots who just need some time to cool off. Some were criminals, sure, but that’s rare. Nadia is the worst kind of person, in his opinion. She has no grace, and while physically beautiful, she’s downright repulsive inside. He had no idea what George had seen in her before, but he’s glad she’d shown her true colours years ago.Celine, however, is a true delight to be around, humble but still certain of her own abilities. Graceful in her movement and behaviour. She’d managed George well in the dining hall when Nadia had shown up to stir shit up. She’d shown diplomacy, and an understanding of how it could be perceived if George had gotten angry at Nadia in front of everyone. Seb’s seriously impressed with the woman.But there’s clearly something else going on with her. Nate, Fi, Sammy and George know, but aren’t sharing. That only makes Seb more determined to figure her

He’s only just sat on the edge of the bed, his softer, but already rehardening cock still inside Celine, when Fi links to him. He sighs and leans his head against Celine’s to listen to her,‘Alpha, I’m sorry for intruding, but we have a big problem. Nate’s working on it now, but you need to know.’ He sighs,‘Is it really that important? Celine and I were busy.’ He can feel her amusement, but it quickly fades, replaced with worry and anger,‘I had a feeling, but Nadia did something incredibly stupid and we need you, and Celine, to know as soon as possible.’ He sighs as Celine carefully stands up, letting his half-hard cock slide from her. She goes for her pyjamas that she’d chosen earlier, as he goes for his own. He replies to Fi,‘We’ll head to my office once we’re dressed.’ She sighs,‘That’s where we are. Seb’s here too, he’s fuming, well, we all are.’ George looks at Celine, who’s thrown on her pyjamas, some slippers and an oversized long-line baby-pink cardigan. She nods as he pul

They return to the main part of the palace, and on the way Celine runs her hands through her hair a few times to push it back into shape after their moment in the tower. She’s happy that her hair is so short now; it had frustrated her immensely when it was long. George leads her to a conference room, where Eva is waiting. There’s a table for them to sit at and look at the various books and papers that were strewn across the surface.Celine swallows, feeling a little daunted, but still determined to learn everything she needs to as quickly as possible so she won’t embarrass George. Or Eva, or herself for that matter. Eva looks up at her as they enter and smiles warmly,“Celine, did fight training go well?” She nods,“Seb has assessed me, but needs some time to come up with a suitable training plan going forward.” She raises an eyebrow and looks at George, who shrugs. She nods,“That’s a new one. Well, you must have impressed him.” She turns to the smallest stack of books. “I would like
