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.

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:

For the first time New York Times bestselling author Christopher Rice writes as C. Travis Rice. Under his new pen name, Rice offers tales of passion, intrigue, and steamy romance between men. The first novel, SAPPHIRE SUNSET, transports you to a beautiful luxury resort on the sparkling Southern California coast where strong-willed heroes release the shame that blocks their heart’s desires.
Logan Murdoch is a fighter, a survivor, and a provider. When he leaves a distinguished career in the Marine Corps to work security at a luxury beachfront resort, he’s got one objective: pay his father’s mounting medical bills. That means Connor Harcourt, the irresistibly handsome scion of the wealthy family that owns Sapphire Cove, is strictly off limits, despite his sassy swagger and beautiful blue eyes. Logan’s life is all about sacrifices; Connor is privilege personified. But temptation is a beast that demands to be fed, and a furtive kiss ignites instant passion, forcing Logan to slam the brakes. Hard.
Haunted by their frustrated attraction, the two men find themselves hurled back together when a headline-making scandal threatens to ruin the resort they both love. This time, there’s no easy escape from the magnetic pull of their white hot desire. Will saving Sapphire Cove help forge the union they crave, or will it drive them apart once more?
Reviews for Sapphire Sunset:
“Spectacular! Rice has delivered a romance that manages to be both fresh and timeless, full of charismatic yet vulnerable characters, captivating heat, and a delicious, escapist setting. I never wanted to check out of Sapphire Cove!”
