BLURB: Mad Loving

Allison Lewis finds herself in another world when she enters Hatter’s, a trendy New York nightclub. She’s a Midwestern girl living in the big city and has recently been through a bad breakup. But tonight she wants to put all that behind her. And she’s found just the man to tempt her to break out of her conservative mold—the sexy Nevar Hatter.

Running Hatter’s takes up most of Nevar’s time. He never comes on to patrons, but he’s more than willing to make an exception for Allison. Fiery passion leads to a one-night stand. Nevar wants more but Allison is running scared. He pulls out all the stops, including a private tea party of their own to entice Allison to trust him with not only her body, but also her heart.

LASR gives Wolf at the Door 4 1/2 stars!

WOLF AT THE DOOR has received a 4 1/2 star review from Long and Short Reviews!

"There is passion, romance and also some danger in this. I like that the characters are, at times, vulnerable; not physically but often emotionally scarred and wounded, and that they are there for each other no matter what...Ms. Walters has written a fast paced roller coaster of a story, and I could not put it down once I started. I would recommend this for shifter lovers, romance lovers and I recommend you keep tissues and ice near to hand." ~Foxglove

Earth Day!

April 22nd is EARTH DAY!

Earth Day is an annual event, celebrated on April 22, on which events are held worldwide to demonstrate support for environmental protection. It was first celebrated in 1970, and is now coordinated globally by the Earth Day Network and celebrated in more than 192 countries each year.

This is an important day to remember that we won't survive if we don't take care of the planet that feeds and shelters us.

MacNamara's Lady in PRINT!

MACNAMARA'S LADY is now in print! And look what I just got in the mail from Ellora's Cave. Aren't they pretty. *g*

BLURB:

Missy Sinclair knows what she wants out of life—a secure job, a fine home, financial independence and, eventually, a man to share it with. That man will have class and style, share her goals and tastes and like fine wine and classical music. Why then is she so attracted to T.S. MacNamara, who is the complete opposite?

T.S. makes no apologies to anyone for his life. He’s worked hard to make his general contracting business a success. He likes beer and football. He’s not looking for anything permanent. Problem is, he can’t stop wanting Missy.

When he rescues Missy from a violent mugging, the seething physical attraction that’s been shimmering between them for months finally explodes. Classy and rough, dark and light, educated and blue-collar. Opposites attract—at least in the bedroom. But they both have secrets that won’t stay buried…secrets that threaten to drive them apart unless they’re both willing to face their pasts.

Wishing all of you a very safe and Happy Easter. I hope you enjoy the holiday weekend with family and friends. 

And I hope you all find some Peeps and chocolate bunnies in your Easter baskets. :)

Daffodils and Snow

It's snowing outside today. This is the closest I'm getting to daffodils. Every April the Cancer Society sells them as a fundraiser. I bought some to brighten up my table.

Wolf at the Door is Available TODAY!

I'm thrilled to announce that WOLF AT THE DOOR, the first book in my new Salvation Pack series, is available today from Samhain Publishing!

BLURB:


When this wolf comes knocking, there’s no turning him away


Salvation Pack, Book 1

When Gwendolyn Jones inherits a Tennessee cabin from a great aunt she never knew, she quits her job and follows her dream to write full time. Meeting a stranger in a local cemetery isn’t a risk she normally takes, but she needs the information on his flash drive for an article she’s writing on werewolves. Later that night, when two honest-to-God werewolves come knocking on her cabin door, they’re definitely not Photoshopped.

Jacque LaForge is on a mission to retrieve a flash drive before it endangers his pack. He never thought he’d find a mate, but the chemistry between him and Gwen is unmistakably off the charts. Now to convince her he’s only trying to protect her from his vengeful former pack—led by his own father.

Gwen’s first instinct to flee only gets her a smashed car and a concussion. She wakes up in a dangerous new world she never thought existed—and in the arms of the one man who stands between her and certain death.
 

Warning: Contains a sexy werewolf and his small pack of friends, a paranormal writer who really didn’t believe such things existed—until now—and a completely dysfunctional family who are out to kill them both.

Mark of the Bear in PRINT!

MARK OF THE BEAR, book two of the Hades' Carnival series, is now available in PRINT!

BLURB:

When the devil wants a deal, there’s no bowing out gracefully.

Hades’ Carnival, Book 2

At twenty-nine, Hollywood scream queen Kellsie Morris is acutely aware the clock is ticking on her career. Luckily, the one big role she needs to pad her retirement fund has just come through—the story of an immortal, shape-shifting warrior trapped in a carnival run by the Devil’s minions.

When Kellsie arrives on set, she can’t resist climbing aboard an amazingly realistic carousel bear—and finds herself flung into a world where the horror is real. As real as the heat radiating off the half-naked hunk in her arms.

Marko has waited an eternity for the chance to free his goddess, the Lady of the Beasts, and his fellow warriors from an ancient curse. But once he lays eyes on Kellsie, he knows to the bottom of his soul that his purpose is to protect her life.

But in this hellish game, it’s the Devil’s move. And there’s no predicting when and where the final, brutal stroke will fall—and which lover will pay the ultimate price.

Tuesday Teaser: Capturing Carly

This week the Tuesday Teaser comes from CAPTURING CARLY, which is part of the Awakening Desires series. Nathan gave me more trouble than just about any other male character I've ever written. He wanted to do things his way! He's one stubborn, determined man.

TEASER:

“You’d better run.” Nathan Connors growled as he pulled the vehicle to a halt in front of Carly’s house. He wasn’t sure if she’d heard him, but she had already jumped out of the truck and was running up the walkway. Her laughter trailed behind her, making him smile. That’s what she did for him. She made him smile, made him feel complete.

Grabbing his keys out of the ignition, he hurried after her. She already had her keys out and was unlocking the front door. God, she made him hot just standing there.

Carly Ames was five feet and three inches of pure temptation. Rounded in all the right places, her plain black skirt and white blouse hid a body that was made for sin. His mouth watered at the thought of tasting the sweet pink nipples that tipped her rather impressive breasts. He loved the way they hardened at his slightest touch. Her hips were wide, her ass a handful, and she made him hotter than a teenage boy with his first girl.

Glancing over her shoulder, she shot him a grin as she shoved the door open with her hand. When she saw him right behind her, it quickly widened into a genuine smile that was reflected in her blue eyes, which shone with happiness. She had light brown hair that was cut short for convenience as well as style, but it suited her round face and her small, tip-tilted nose to perfection.

She looked like an angel, but Nathan knew that beneath her angelic exterior lay a fiery temper and a wicked sense of humor.
