Hurri Cosmo has a new MM paranormal ghost romance out: The Ex’s Boyfriend. And there’s a giveaway!
Mark has always been a Dominant. The Top in every relationship. Just ask Leon, his very ex-boyfriend, because thatâs what he told Mark he was.
Okay, Markâs only had the one relationship so the âalwaysâ was a reach, but it didnât matter. It was more than over with now, and Leon was long gone. That is until Leon felt it necessary to show off his new boyfriend, a gorgeous mountain called Rogan, by evidently telling him that Mark was stalking, bullying, badgering, harassing and get this, abusing him.
âHeâll kill you, Mark, because he loves me and wants to protect me.â
From whom? Skinny little Mark? What a joke. Because all Mark has ever done was exactly what Leon told him to do and that now included staying as far away from Leon as he could get. But how can he do that when Leon is hell-bent on proving all the lies heâs told Rogan about Mark were true, and by any means possible except the actual truth? Thankfully, it seems Roganâs not quite as clueless about Leonâs wild imagination as Mark has always been. In fact, the big, beautiful man has come to Markâs rescue a couple of times and has made it clear, Leon and he are not a thing. At least, not anymore.
Which is good since Mark is going to need Roganâs help. Mainly because something else is out to get Mark. Something not Leon.
This something isnât even humanâŚ

Excerpt
They took the elevator to the sixth floor and headed cautiously down a deserted hall. Okay, maybe it was only Mark who walked warily. Rogan marched slightly ahead of him and seemed to barge down the hall with his chest puffed out like some storybook bodyguard protecting the prince. However, no apparitions flew out at them this time, no lights exploded trying to kill them. When they got to Mark’s apartment, Rogan snatched the set of keys Mark dug out of his pocket and opened the door of 612 and attempted to turn on the light.
âIt doesnât work,â Mark remarked. âIt never has.â
As if that might have been important in the whole scheme of things, Rogan turned to him. âReally? Why?â
âI have no idea. They have never been able to fix it, either.â
Rogan grumbled a string of profanities against landlords as he pulled out his phone. âHey Raptor. Flashlight.â The phone shot out a bright beam and Rogan shined it into the apartment. âWhere is a switch that does work?â
âRight here.â Mark glanced around the apartment before he tiptoed over to the switch in the kitchen and turned it on. The apartment lit up enough to see that everything was normalâso to speak. The destroyed TV was right where it had been when they left, debris still everywhere. Not the chaos Mark had walked into with Leon, but shivers of that time chased through him as well. âWhat I donât get is why you donât even have a scratch on you.â
âThat is a mystery,â Rogan murmured. âWhatâs even more an unknown is why you were basically sliced in the first place. Cut, I would understand. But sliced?â He walked over to the large, jagged piece laying against the wall, the piece that had been laced with blood but no longer appeared to be and picked it up. âThis should never have been sharp enough to do that.â He brought it over for Mark to see.
âFuck,â Mark whispered as he gazed at the piece of plastic. âItâs⌠like a knife.â And it was. The six-inch, razor-edged side appeared paper thin, to the point of it being see-through. As if someone had purposely honed it down to that sharpness. âBut⌠didnât it have blood on it?â
Rogan narrowed his eyes and glared back at the plastic as if it had just lied to him. âYouâre right. It did. Exactly my point.â
âWhich is?â
Rogan glanced briefly at Mark. âThis isnât right. I mean, how does something like this even happen?â Roganâs lips pursed together.
âSo, what are you saying?â
âIâm not sure.â Rogan gazed down at Mark. âAnd I donât like not knowing. I will find some answers. That I promise.â He sighed. âNow what do we need to take with us so we can get out of here?â
Mark packed a backpack while Rogan kept watch. Mark would have thought it laughable if he wasnât so panicked. It was one thing to be bullied by Leon. Quite another by a ghost.
âThe extra apartment key is in the kitchen drawer,â Mark told Rogan as he threw the backpack over his shoulder.
Rogan immediately reached over and grabbed the backpack. âGo get it. I got this.â
Heat climbing Markâs face he walked quickly to the drawer. âI can carry it. Iâm not a princess.â
Rogan smirked but remained silent as he adjusted the backpack and held out a hand to accept the key. âThanks,â he said, winking at Mark when he dropped the key in his hand.
âI donât know what you plan on doing but have at it.â
Rogan grimaced as if he were guilty of something and shook his head.
When they arrived at Markâs dadâs house, Rogan insisted on walking Mark in. âI didnât keep you safe like I promised. He deserves an explanation.â
âAre you kidding me? Iâm not some fragile teenager on a date. Besides, I can take care of myself.â
âI know that. But security is my job, and I should haveâŚâ
âShould have what?â
âKnown.â He knocked on the door.
âKnown? How? Why?â
But Rogan remained silent. Except it was clear he was battling something in his head.
âWhatever,â Mark mumbled. âJust⌠I can take care of myself.â Mark went to knock as well but the door flew open in front of him, Markâs dad standing on the other side.
âWhat the fuck is going on out here?â Rob snarled, startling both Mark and Rogan.
âSir!â Rogan nearly shouted back, gaining the older manâs attention. Then he lowered his voice probably realizing how loud he was being. âMr. Corda. Sorry to wake youâŚâ
âWhat the hell happened to you?â Rob grabbed Mark and pulled him into the house. âWhy the bandages?â He turned his attention back to Rogan. âWhy is my son covered in bandages?â
Mark took immediate offence. âDad, Iâm standing right here! Ask me!â
âUm⌠sirâŚâ Rogan interrupted. âitâs a long story.â
Author Bio
I am Hurri Cosmo and I live in Minnesota where I hold tight to the idea that here, where itâs cold a good part of the year, I wonât age as fast. Yep, I avoid the truth as much as I avoid mirrors. But one of the reasons I love writing is reality doesnât always offer up a âhappily ever afterâ and being able to take control of that is a powerful lure.
Being a happy ending junkie, writing just makes them easier to find. Oh, I donât mind âreal lifeâ and I do try to at least keep it in mind when I write my stories, but I truly love creating a wonderful couple, knowing they will fall in love and have their HEA. Every – single – time. And, of course, that is exactly the reason I love reading this genre, too.
Give me a glass of red wine, some dark chocolate, and my computer, whether I am reading or writing, and I will entertain myself for hours. The fact I actually get paid to do it is Snickers bars on the frosting on the cake.
