Wolf on a Mission

I'm thrilled to announce that Wolf on a Mission, the next Salvation Pack book, is now available from Samhain Publishing and other ebook retailers. :)

When love runs wild, there are no limits.

Salvation Pack, Book 6

Full-blooded werewolf Elias Gallagher, sole guardian of his half-breed teenage nephews, is all too aware that the world is not a safe place for a werewolf on his own. Doubly so for half-breeds.

He brings his nephews to North Carolina to check out the Salvation Pack’s openness to half-breeds. He never expected to find a mate—the fully human mother of a young boy—while there.

After enduring one tragedy after another over the past two years, Sue Walsh is focused solely on earning a living and raising her five-year-old son. With her ex suddenly demanding custody, the last complication she wants or needs is an attraction to a ruggedly handsome stranger.

But the sexual pull between them is too strong to be denied. And when there’s trouble with the local hunters, Elias will do whatever it takes to protect the people he loves. Even if it means revealing his biggest secret.

Wolf at the Door

Countdown to Wolf on a Mission...April 5th.


Wolf at the Door, book 1 of the Salvation Pack series, is the book that started it all...

Teaser:

 Her fingers were shaking as she dug out the keys and jammed them into the ignition. It took her two tries before they finally slid home.


Something heavy hit the car. Gwen cried out and her gaze flew to the front windshield. Jacque was perched in front of her like some giant hood ornament. He was crouched low with one hand resting on the hood. “Unlock the door, Gwen.”


Like that was going to happen. She turned the key and the engine sprang to life.

Weekend Book Club--Scorched by Darkness by Alexandra Ivy

I just finished reading SCORCHED BY DARKNESS by Alexandra Ivy. This is the second book in her Dragons of Eternity series. I love her paranormal romances and the amazing worlds that she creates. I especially love it when everyone's favorite gargoyle (Levet) shows up. Another winner!

BLURB:

As a half-breed dragon, Torque never had the luxury of choosing his future. Not only did his father barter him to the highest bidder, but a rare Shinto fey claimed to see him in a vision that involved recovering a lost treasure for the powerful dragon, Synge. A destiny that might have been bearable if the vision hadn’t included a mating with Rya, Synge’s half-breed daughter. Who could blame him for being resigned rather than thrilled with his fate?

Rya had enough of being treated like an unwanted burden by her betrothed. So when she learns her mother is missing, she doesn’t hesitate to leave the harem to try to find her. The last thing she expects is Torque to track her down. Or the explosive chemistry that ignites between them. Now they must work together to discover the dark threat that not only traps her mother, but has the potential to spread evil throughout the world.

It's Officially Spring!

Happy Equinox!

The calendar may say it's officially spring but it still looks and feels like winter outside. But there is now hope for warmer weather and the first flowers of spring. Welcome to spring!

Weekend Book Club--Cold-Hearted Rake by Lisa Kleypas

I just finished reading COLD HEARTED RAKE by Lisa Kleypas. I've always been a fan of her historical romances. This is not your typical lord and lady book. This is so much more interesting. I love how both Devon and Kathleen grew and evolved over the course of the book.

The secondary relationship between Helen and Winterbourne was just as interesting. I can't wait to read Marrying Winterbourne, due out on May 31st.

BLURB:

A twist of fate . . .

Devon Ravenel, London's most wickedly charming rake, has just inherited an earldom. But his powerful new rank in society comes with unwanted responsibilities . . . and more than a few surprises. His estate is saddled with debt, and the late earl's three innocent sisters are still occupying the house . . . along with Kathleen, Lady Trenear, a beautiful young widow whose sharp wit and determination are a match for Devon's own.

A clash of wills . . .

Kathleen knows better than to trust a ruthless scoundrel like Devon. But the fiery attraction between them is impossible to deny—and from the first moment Devon holds her in his arms, he vows to do whatever it takes to possess her. As Kathleen finds herself yielding to his skillfully erotic seduction, only one question remains:

Can she keep from surrendering her heart to the most dangerous man she's ever known?

Cover Reveal--Enticing Emma

Here's your first look at the cover for ENTICING EMMA.


This is book 2 of the Summersville Secrets series and was formerly known as HEAT WAVE. It will be releasing soon. No date yet. I'll keep you posted.

Like Uncovering Annabelle, it has been reedited and updated.

HEA Book Reviews review of Uncovering Annabelle

HEA Book Reviews says, "As you would expect from a NJ Walters book, the erotic scenes were steamy and Mike was yummy. It’s a guilty pleasure to want the alpha male convince the insecure heroine of being more than she realizes, but so much fun to read. NJ Walters packed a lot of sexiness in just 12 chapters. It was a fun and quick read and highly recommended for a late night story."

Read the entire review at HEA BOOK REVIEWS

Annabelle is back!

I'm thrilled to announce the release of Uncovering Annabelle! This book was originally published in 2004 as Annabelle Lee. It's been revised and updated.

This is the first book in the Summersville Secrets trilogy. The other two books will also be releasing soon. No dates yet, but I'll keep you posted.

BLURB:

The first book in the sexy Summersville Secrets series by New York Times and USA Today bestselling author N. J. Walters!

Days fueled by desire . . .

Annabelle Lee is content to spend her days as a quiet and staid librarian, revealing her true desires only at night, when she indulges in the rich erotic life that lives only in her fantasies. It is there she dreams of Mike Sloan, the rugged handyman who stirs her passions and ignites her erotic nature.

Nights filled with pleasure . . .

Mike has always yearned to get a peek behind Annabelle’s demure nature, knowing there is far more there than she shows. When he finally gets her alone, they unleash a passion beyond any late-night fantasy. Limited only by their imaginations, they set out to explore even their deepest desires, with Mike hoping to win Annabelle’s heart in the process.

This is a fully revised edition of a book originally published as Annabelle Lee.

Weekend Book Club--Fighting Dirty by Lori Foster

FIGHTING DIRTY is the latest book in the Ultimate series by Lori Foster. I haven't finished it yet, but I'm a big fan of Foster's MMA books. I'm sure I'll enjoy Armie's book as much as I have the others in the series.

What are you reading this weekend?

BLURB:

With the life he's led and the muscles he's gained, Armie Jacobson isn't afraid of anything. Except maybe Merissa Colter's effect on him. It's not just that she's his best friend's little sister. Fact is, she deserves better. Women pursue him for one night of pleasure, and that's all he wants to offer. Until rescuing Merissa from a robbery leads to the most erotic encounter of his life.  

Good girl meets bad boy. It's a story that rarely ends well. But Merissa is taking matters into her own hands. No matter how he views himself, the Armie she knows is brave, honorable and completely loyal. And as past demons and present-day danger collide, they're both about to learn what's truly worth fighting for…

Throwback Thursday--Book Edition (Dance Upon the Air by Nora Roberts)

DANCE UPON THE AIR is the first book in the Three Sisters Island trilogy by Nora Roberts. I absolutely love this series. It has everything--friendship, magic, a curse, and most importantly, love. Nell is a strong heroine determined to take control of her life and start over. To do that, she must face her past and trust in love.

BLURB:

When Nell Channing arrives on charming Three Sisters Island, she believes that she’s finally found refuge from her abusive husband—and from the terrifying life she fled so desperately eight months ago…

But even in this quiet, peaceful place, Nell never feels entirely at ease. Careful to conceal her true identity, she takes a job as a cook at the local bookstore café—and begins to explore her feelings for the island sheriff, Zack Todd. But there is a part of herself she can never reveal to him—for she must continue to guard her secrets if she wants to keep the past at bay. One careless word, one misplaced confidence, and the new life she’s created so carefully could shatter completely.

Just as Nell starts to wonder if she’ll ever be able to break free of her fear, she realizes that the island suffers under a terrible curse—one that can only be broken by the descendants of the Three Sisters, the witches who settled the island back in 1692. And now, with the help of two other strong, gifted women—and with the nightmares of the past haunting her every step—she must find the power to save her home, her love…and herself…

Hades' Return

Hades’ Return is available today! This anthology contains books 4-6 of the Hades' Carnival series. It's available in both ebook and print!

There’s only one weapon strong enough to defeat their enemy—Love.

Just when the immortal warriors of the Lady of the Beasts think they’re free of their curse, Hades is back. And he wants revenge.

Heart of the Serpent

Mordecai’s curse is lifted, but Hell has stained his soul. Yet when the one woman he must not taint tries to penetrate his shields, he can’t help but kiss her senseless. It’s the moment Hades has waited for—when he can hurt the one woman Mordecai would give his life to protect.

 

Flame of the Phoenix

For the first time in his immortal life, Phoenix is afraid. Not for himself, but for the woman who’s captured his heart. One kiss easily ignites Tilly’s passion, but claiming her as his own will take more than heat. It may require a sacrifice that could send them up in flames.

Lure of the Jaguar

From his hiding place in the bayou, Stavros senses that Toni, a woman stalking wildlife with her camera, is his mate. Despite his better judgment, he can’t stay away. And he hopes she will forgive him for what he must do to protect her soul.

Weekend Book Club--Brotherhood in Death by J. D. Robb

BROTHERHOOD IN DEATH is the latest offering in J.D. Robb's In Death series, which features one of the best heroines in any genre--Eve Dallas.

The storyline is not an easy one as the author tackles difficult subject matter. Robb pulls no punches and neither does the heroine. Eve Dallas must do her job while dealing with the ugly reality of her own past.

I can't say enough about this series. I grab these books as soon as they're available.






BLURB:

Sometimes brotherhood can be another word for conspiracy. . . .
Dennis Mira just had two unpleasant surprises. First he learned that his cousin Edward was secretly meeting with a real estate agent about their late grandfather’s magnificent West Village brownstone, despite the promise they both made to keep it in the family. Then, when he went to the house to confront Edward about it, he got a blunt object to the back of the head.

Luckily Dennis is married to Charlotte Mira, the NYPSD’s top profiler and a good friend of Lieutenant Eve Dallas. When the two arrive on the scene, he explains that the last thing he saw was Edward in a chair, bruised and bloody. When he came to, his cousin was gone. With the mess cleaned up and the security disks removed, there’s nothing left behind but a few traces for forensics to analyze.

As a former lawyer, judge, and senator, Edward Mira mingled with the elite and crossed paths with criminals, making enemies on a regular basis. Like so many politicians, he also made some very close friends behind closed—and locked—doors. But a badge and a billionaire husband can get you into places others can’t go, and Eve intends to shine some light on the dirty deals and dark motives behind the disappearance of a powerful man, the family discord over a multimillion-dollar piece of real estate . . . and a new case that no one saw coming.

Throwback Thursday--Book Edition (Charming the Highlander by Janet Chapman)

CHARMING THE HIGHLANDER by Janet Chapman is the first book in her Pine Creek Highlanders series. This is time travel romance at its very best. But at it's heart, it's about family bonds and love.

I've read this series multiple times. It's that good.

BLURB:

A feisty beauty tempted by a bold highlander's touch...When a plane crash strands brilliant scientist Grace Sutter on an icy mountaintop in Maine, she finds herself alone in the wilderness with the only other surviving passenger -- Greylen MacKeage,a sexy, medieval warrior who's been tossed through time to find the woman he's destined to love. Forced together to survive the harsh, wintry landscape, neither expects the fierce passion that flares between them. But Grace is not used to letting her heart take control, and Greylen will settle for nothing less than her heart's surrender....

Wolf on the Hunt Reviewed by Fresh Fiction

FRESH FICTION has reviewed WOLF ON THE HUNT.

"I have read every one of the books in the Salvation Pack series and can tell you truthfully they just get better and better. The steam is steamy, the love strong (and I am including the love that is between family and friends as well as mates), the action fast paced and heart stopping. The climatic ending was not totally unexpected but will have you on the edge of you seat waiting for the next twist, the next turn. WOLF ON THE HUNT is a fantastic read that will simply have you looking for more from this talented writer." ~Annetta Sweetko

Wolf on the Hunt

In the hunt for love, there’s no going halfway.

Salvation Pack, Book 5

Drawn to Salvation by her passion for nature, Gray Everson’s looking forward to some peace and quiet to work on her paintings. She didn’t expect hunters shooting up the forest around the cabin she rented. And she certainly didn’t expect to find a wounded wolf.

It’s only after Gray sends the hunters packing that she realizes the creature hidden in her cabin is no ordinary wolf. He’s a ruggedly handsome man with an extraordinary ability Gray thought only existed in fiction.

Louis LaForge has given up on finding a mate and channels all his energy into protecting his pack. But his instant attraction to a skittish artist is more than simple lust. There’s something about Gray he just can’t put his finger on—until he gets close enough to touch her.

Louis is sure of what he wants, but pushing Gray too far, too fast is risky. The hunters aren’t going away peacefully, and Louis’s former pack is coming for him. When the final battle comes, there will be only one way to protect everyone he loves.

Weekend Book Club--Kill Without Mercy by Alexandra Ivy

KILL WITHOUT MERCY is the first book in Alexandra Ivy's new Ares Security series. As always, Ivy delivers lots of action and romance. Looking forward to the next book in the series.

BLURB:

From the hellhole of a Taliban prison to sweet freedom, five brave military heroes have made it home—and they’re ready to take on the civilian missions no one else can. Individually they’re intimidating. Together they’re invincible. They’re the men of ARES Security.

 
Rafe Vargas is only in Newton, Iowa, to clear out his late grandfather’s small house. As the covert ops specialist for ARES Security, he's eager to get back to his new life in Texas. But when he crosses paths with Annie White, a haunted beauty with skeletons in her closet, he can't just walk away—not when she’s clearly in danger…

There’s a mysterious serial killer on the loose with a link to Annie’s dark past. And the closer he gets, the deeper Rafe’s instinct to protect kicks in. But even with his considerable skill, Annie’s courage, and his ARES buddies behind him, the slaying won’t stop. Now it’s only a matter of time before Annie’s next—unless they can unravel a history of deadly lies that won’t be buried.

Weekend Book Club--The Road Not Taken by Sarah MacLean

THE ROGUE NOT TAKEN by Sarah MacLean is my first Weekend Book Club pick for 2016. I discovered this author through her Rules of Scoundrels series. The Rogue Not Taken is the first book in her  new Scandal & Scoundrel series. If you love Regency Romance, you have to try this author.

BLURB:

Lady Sophie’s Society Splash
When Sophie, the least interesting of the Talbot sisters, lands her philandering brother-in-law backside-first in a goldfish pond in front of all society, she becomes the target of very public aristocratic scorn. Her only choice is to flee London, vowing to start a new life far from the aristocracy. Unfortunately, the carriage in which she stows away isn’t saving her from ruin . . . it’s filled with it.

Rogue’s Reign of Ravishment!
Kingscote, “King,” the Marquess of Eversley, has never met a woman he couldn’t charm, resulting in a reputation far worse than the truth, a general sense that he’s more pretty face than proper gentleman, and an irate summons home to the Scottish border. When King discovers stowaway Sophie, however, the journey becomes anything but boring.

War? Or More?
He thinks she’s trying to trick him into marriage. She wouldn’t have him if he were the last man on earth. But carriages bring close quarters, dark secrets, and unbearable temptation, making opposites altogether too attractive . . .
