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 second novel, SAPPHIRE SPRING, 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 heart’s desires.
Naser Kazemi has never met a problem a good spending plan couldn’t fix. But working as the chief accountant for his best friend’s resort isn’t turning out to be the dream job he’d hoped for. It doesn’t help that his fashion designer sister is planning an event that just might bring Sapphire Cove crashing down all around them. When the wild party unexpectedly reunites him with Mason Worther, the gorgeous former jock who made his high school experience a living hell, things go from bad to seductive.
The former golden boy’s adult life is a mess, and he knows it’s time to reform his hard partying ways. But for Mason, cleaning up his act means cleaning up his prior misdeeds. And he plans to start with Naser, by submitting to whatever the man demands of him to make things right. The offer ignites an all-consuming passion both men have denied for years. But can they confront their painful past without losing each other in the process?
