Celebrate Pride at Sapphire Cove!
Pride Month brings NEW bonus material to the Sapphire Cove novels on June 16, 2026!
C. Travis Rice is opening the doors of the resort a little wider. Each updated Sapphire Cove novel edition now includes an exclusive bonus chapter or epilogue scene that revisits your favorite couples—and every one of them takes place during Sapphire Cove’s Pride festivities. Picture the resort decked out in color, the parties spilling out into the Pacific breezes, and your favorite men celebrating love out loud, together: stolen moments on the dance floor, milestone toasts under the lights, and the kind of hard-won tenderness that comes after the last page.
It’s a celebration of everything the series stands for: desire without shame, love without apology, and the belief that everyone deserves a story where they end up happy.
Pick up any Sapphire Cove book this Pride Month and stay a little longer. The view’s even better the second time around.

Starting June 16, 2026, all new ebook purchases will automatically have the Pride bonus material. Already own Sapphire Cove titles? It’s easy to update your edition to have the new Pride bonus material! Some Kindles pull the update automatically, but many don’t, so here’s how to grab it manually in about a minute:
1. Go to Manage Your Content and Devices on Amazon (Account → Content & Devices).
2. Make sure you’re in the Content / Books tab and find the book.
3. If there’s an Update Available link next to it, click it, then click Update.
4. The refreshed version with the bonus material lands in your library within a few minutes.
Important note: Updating can occasionally reset notes and highlights, so it’s smart to have Whispersync for Books (called “Annotations Backup” on older Kindles) turned on before updating.
If you do not see the Update button, you can always remove the title from your device and then re-deliver it/re-download from your library, which will grab the newest version with the bonus material.
If you want to turn on automatic updates for the future, go to Preferences and turn on Automatic Book Updates.
Under his new pen name, C. Travis Rice, New York Times bestselling author Christopher Rice offers tales of passion, intrigue, and steamy romance between men. The third novel, SAPPHIRE STORM, once again transports you to a beautiful luxury resort on the sparkling Southern California coast where strong-willed heroes release the shame that blocks their hearts’ desires.
Ethan Blake has dedicated his life to satisfying other people’s appetites. At forty-three, he’s finally landed his dream job—head pastry chef at an exclusive resort. Now he’s got a jet-setting career that’s taken him to romantic locations all over the world. But years before, after his parents threw him out for being gay, Ethan supported himself in a manner he’d rather keep under the covers today.
Roman Walker is a twenty-five-year-old fitness celebrity awash in thirsty followers. But when he walks through the doors of Sapphire Cove, it’s not just to oversee the menu for his celebrity client’s wedding. Decades ago, Roman and Ethan crossed paths on a New York street corner during a terrible, life-changing moment that scarred them both. Now Roman’s back for revenge.
But when his plan goes wildly off the rails, Roman suddenly finds himself at the center of an even stranger and darker plot concocted by his most famous client. Well-versed in the ways of the wealthy and the entitled, Roman’s former target offers to be his strongest ally during a moment that might derail the young man’s newfound career. But the experienced older man’s offer also ignites an irresistible and forbidden attraction that threatens to consume them both, even as it exposes old secrets and incurs the wrath of the powerful and the famous.
