Where did the time go?
February, I was struck around the head by Aslan and Neri and I had no choice but to write their love story.
March, Lunamare was finished but it morphed from a standalone into a duet. (The title is Latin for Moon and Sea)
May, Cor Amare (the second book) was finished. (Latin for Heart and Love)
THE LUNA DUET IS DONE!
It’s been an absolute whirlwind and I AM IN LOVE!
And it’s only 10 days before it releases!
How did that happen?
I blinked and boom, half the year has gone.
But…enough of my babbling, I have a cover, links, and video trailer to share!
“Is it true…that you pulled a lion from the ocean and fell in love with him?”
ASLAN
The sixteen-year-old boy named after a lion.
A boy with his entire life ahead of him.
A boy running from a terrible secret.
All it takes is one awful night to change everything.
One secret, one smuggler, one boat, one storm.
And he wakes in an entirely different existence.
Staring into the ocean-blue eyes of his twelve-year-old rescuer.
NERIDA
The twelve-year-old girl named after a sea nymph.
A girl with lofty dreams and absolute faith that she’ll achieve them.
All it takes is a bright, sunny morning to change everything.
One boy clinging to wreckage, one sea cradling him close, one chance at keeping him safe.
He’s illegal and unwanted.
She’s stubborn and so sure.
He’s lost absolutely everything.
And she’s found the only thing she ever wanted.
They begin as rescued and rescuer.
Slowly growing from twelve and sixteen.
He’s not allowed to touch her.
She’s convinced he is the one.
But as each day dawns on his illegal existence, Aslans’s secrets creep ever closer, the death he ran from hunts ever faster, and the darkness that he can’t get free of finally finds him.
And it costs him…
everything.
A true coming-of-age story that spans a lifetime. This book deals with heavy subjects and it is advised you check the Content Warnings on the Author’s website.
Lunamare is a tangled romance that fans of The Ribbon Duet will love. Combining the beautiful drama of Nicholas Sparks with the brutality of dark romance, Pepper Winters has created a tale of soulmates, secrets, cruelty, and heart-wrenching love.

I loved lunamare cannot wait to finish the duet. My heart is broken for Aslan.
I am so excited!! Thank you so much! I especially appreciate how the books are so close together. I’m not at all insinuating that others should be. I am saying what a treat that they are! Many thanks to you!
Lunamare is an amazing story. It is angst and pain, but in the same token, wonder filled and a joy to read. I don’t know how you do this to me! Your words always capture my heart.
