Tuesday Teaser--Wolf in her Soul

Wolf in her Soul
Salvation Pack, book 8

TEASER:

Reece cupped her face in his hands. Her skin was pale like porcelain, smooth and fine. A sharp contrast to her vibrant hair, which snapped with vitality. There were dark circles under her eyes. He looked into them until he was sure he had her total attention.

Then he slowly lowered his head. He figured there was about a fifty/fifty chance she might bite him, but what the hell. He liked to live dangerously. He pressed his lips against hers. It was like getting zapped with a million volts of electricity.

His entire body shook as he ran his tongue over the seam of her mouth. She sucked in a breath but didn’t pull away. She ran her hand over his upper arm, and even through his jacket and shirt, he could feel the heat of her.

He wanted to deepen the kiss more than he wanted his next breath, but he knew it was too soon. He didn’t want to spook her any more than she already was. When he pulled back, she was staring at him, her blue eyes wide and bewildered.

“What was that about?”

He smiled and tucked a lock of hair behind her ear. “Me showing you what I want to do to you. And, Hannah, I certainly don’t want to kill you.”

Teaser: The Seduction of Shamus O'Rourke

Shamus O'Rourke, from my Jamesville series, is one of my all-time favorite heroes. There is just something so special about him. The Seduction of Shamus O'Rourke was a turning point in my career in many ways. It was the first book at Samhain Publishing that I worked on with editor Heidi Shoham. We would go on to work together the next decade and dozens of books.

While I've worked with about a dozen amazing editors over the course of my career and have learned from each and every one, my working relationship with Heidi was special. I miss working with her.

I'm grateful to Entangled Romance for republishing my contemporary romance series and allowing new readers to find Shamus.

TEASER: THE SEDUCTION OF SHAMUS O'ROURKE

“A woman alone can’t be too careful these days.” His words echoed her earlier thoughts. “You stay put in the car and I’ll take care of that flat tire for you.”

“No,” she snapped. Realizing what she’d done, she softened her tone. After all, it wasn’t his fault she was attracted to him. All he’d done was stop and offer to help. “That’s fine. I’ll take care of it myself.”

He scrubbed his hand across his jaw and her eyes followed the action. She could see the five o’clock shadow on his chin. It made him appear even sexier, if that was possible. There was something elemental about this man. Even dressed in old work boots, faded jeans and a dirty T-shirt, there was an air of barely restrained power about him.

“I figured you could handle the problem on your own, ma’am, but there’s no need for that now that I’m here.”

Was he for real?

She guessed so when he turned on his heel and crouched down by the front tire. Within seconds, the front of the car was raised and he was using the tire iron to loosen the lug nuts.

Coming Home only 99-cents

Have you read COMING HOME, my sexy contemporary novella? You can for only 99-cents.

EXCERPT:

“You want to take your hands off the lady.” Tobias studied the men. They were in their mid-twenties, both around six feet in height and they’d had the look of men who’d been in plenty of trouble. He knew the type.

“And you want to mind your own business,” the one holding the woman told him.

Tobias slowly shook his head. “Afraid I can’t do that.”

The man’s friend was getting twitchy and started to reach behind his back. Tobias moved, swung his body around and kicked out with his booted foot. At six-four he had very long legs. His size thirteen foot connected with the other man’s stomach and knocked him on his ass. His head bounced once against the concrete sidewalk and he didn’t get up.

Tobias turned his attention back to the other man. “Hurt her and you’re a dead man.” He might have given the better part of his life to upholding the law but there was one person in this world who’d he’d kill for. Die for. And this asshole happened to be holding her arm.

“Who the fuck do you think you are?” the man demanded.

       “Someone you don’t want to fuck with.” Tobias didn’t want to draw his weapon if he didn’t have to. Firing a shot would bring attention and possibly even the cops. He just didn’t want the hassle.

“I ain’t afraid of you.”

He could fight the man but it might be easier to just make him go away. Tobias reached into his back pocket and pulled out a thin leather wallet. He flipped it open to display his credentials. “DEA. I can make trouble for you and your buddy for the next twenty years of your life or you can walk away. Your choice.”

The man released the woman’s arm as though it was too hot to touch. He backed away, his hands held in front of him. “Hey man. No need to get worked up about things. I was just trying to explain something to the bi—” He broke off when he caught the expression on Tobias’s face.

Tiring of the posturing. Tobias took a step toward the man. He stumbled back and almost tripped over the curb.

 “Take your friend with you.”

 The man on the ground moaned but his friend yanked him to his feet and the two of them disappeared down the road.

 The woman stood silently beneath the streetlight and he drank in the sight of her. Her shoulder-length brown hair was gone, replaced by a short, sassy cut. And it was now cherry red. Such an obviously fake color shouldn’t have looked good, yet it suited her perfectly and enhanced the delicate features of her face. High cheekbones, a slender nose and porcelain skin made her beautiful. Her green eyes held intelligence and her lips turned up in a smile.


“Still making friends with your winning ways, Tobias.”

He closed his eyes briefly as the affection in her voice warmed him all the way to his cold heart. “I could say the same thing about you.”

Sunday Snippet: Drakon's Tear


 
It took every ounce of his self control not to shift and go on a killing rampage. The thought of some unknown man hurting Abigail made him want to roar, to lay waste to the entire city. No, the world.

Maybe a bit excessive, but he didn’t care at the moment.

Happy Groundhog Day!


Happy Groundhog Day!

According to superstition, if the groundhog sees his shadow we have six more weeks of winter. if he doesn't see his shadow spring will come early.

I don't know about where you live, but we have at least eight more weeks, likely longer, before any sign of spring arrives. But it's nice to hope.

Friday, February 01, 2019

Welcome to February

It's February 1st, also known as Imbolc. It's about halfway between the winter solstice and spring equinox. So spring is getting closer, even if it doesn't seem like it.

Hang in there and stay warm.

Tuesday Teaser--Threads of Destiny

Tuesday Teaser: Threads of Destiny, Tapestries Book 4.
 
A brilliant light flashed in the room. For a second, Kathryn wondered if this wasn’t what it felt like when you died. But the moment passed and she was still very much in this world. She blinked and half stood, unable to believe her eyes.
 
A giant of a man stood just beyond the door, a tapestry in one hand and a four-foot sword in the other.
 
“Kill the men. Spare the woman,” the General ordered. “She’s mine.”
 
The man took in the room at a glance, his eyes widening when he saw her. Swiftly, he turned back to the threat and attacked. His great sword cut through the men like a hot knife through butter. As she watched, two bloody heads rolled toward the bed. Using the distraction to their advantage, both Tienan and Logan dove for the other weapons, bringing them up and firing. Both her father and the General dove through the door, but they weren’t in time. She heard her father screaming in pain and the General yelling at him to shut up.
 
The stranger swung around and leapt over the bed, landing by her side. “You are unhurt?”
 
His accent was strange, but she understood him perfectly. “Yes.” She raised her hands to his face. He seemed so familiar. She blinked, taking in his bare chest, the arm and wristbands and the long brown hair that fell down his back. “Marc?” This was impossible. Marc was nothing but a character from a book, a figment from her dreams.
 
He flashed her a grin. “Kathryn.”

Threads of Desiny is Back!

I'm thrilled to announce that Threads of Destiny, the fourth book in the Tapestries series, is back! This series was originally published by Ellora's Cave, but has been unavailable for a few years. If you have the original, it hasn't changed much. If you missed it the first time around, now is your chance to get it!


Threads of Destiny
Tapestries, Book 4

When a magical tapestry brought a beautiful and loving bride into his brother’s life, Marc Garen could not have been happier, even though he’d hoped to win her for himself. But lately his feelings of emptiness have threatened to overwhelm him, as their buoyant happiness is such a stark reminder of the loneliness that haunts his soul. Then a new tapestry appears and hurls him into a strange and violent world—and into the arms of a woman who has haunted his dreams and carries the promise of the love he so longs for.

Kathryn Piedmont is a brave and beautiful scientist, and she’s put her own life at risk to save two men who were part of a scientific experiment and are now marked for death. As the three find themselves trapped and facing certain execution, Kathryn is convinced their fate is sealed—until Marc, the ruggedly handsome warrior of her fantasies, suddenly appears in the flesh and magically transports them to safety.

With all of them now safe in Marc’s world, the three men in turn and together share Kathryn’s bed, each of them intent on satisfying her every sensual need—and each of them compelled to try to make her his own. But Marc knows that Kathryn is the one woman who can quiet the powerful stirrings in his body and his heart, and he will take her to incredible heights of pleasure to claim her for himself and make her his own for all time…

Tuesday Teaser--Uncovering Annabelle

Here's a teaser from Uncovering Annabelle, a smoking hot contemporary read.


“I heard you were hot.”

At the sound of the deep, masculine voice, Annabelle came up from the floor behind her desk so fast she smacked her head on the corner. “Ouch.” She sat back on her heels and rubbed the back of her head as she glared at the man standing in front of her.

Mike Sloan. She groaned inwardly, resisting the urge to dive back under her desk and stay there. Might have known. It seemed that she was doomed to be at her worst whenever he was around. He leaned against the side of her doorway, all six feet three inches of rugged male perfection.

At least in her mind he was perfect. His face wasn’t classically handsome, but strong. The bump on his nose suggested that it had been broken, maybe more than once, and his soulful brown eyes were deep-set. His hair was a rich brown and just a bit too long for fashion. He usually kept it tied back with a leather thong. And his lips. Yum. Not too thin and not too thick. Just right for kissing.

Oh, Lord, she was just sitting here on the floor, staring at the man. What was it about him that made her lose all common sense?

He’d asked her a question. Hadn’t he? “What was it you said?” She strove for her best librarian’s voice. The one that said “I’m in charge of the situation.” It worked well for six-year-olds. But from the way Mike was grinning, it obviously wasn’t working with him. She sighed, totally disgusted with herself.
