BLURB:
Ten years ago, visions of death and the babble of lupine voices in his head, drove lone wolf Brick Northridge to challenge his cruel and greedy pack alpha. Beaten by the alpha’s thugs and banished from the pack, Brick lives a life of seclusion in a mountain cabin in the Black Hills.
Born into a rival clan of feline shifters, skinwalker Summer McCoy, in her guise as a raven, watches Brick from afar, giving him back a reason to live through her sweet songs and special gifts.
But when her clan attempts to tear them apart and threatens the pack that banished Brick so many years before, will their love be strong enough to withstand the forces bent on their destruction?
EXCERPT :
Summer McCoy perched in the uppermost branches of her special Ponderosa pine,in raven guise, engaging in her favorite pastime, spying on the lone wolf chopping woodbelow. Two days’ worth of whiskers shadowed his rigid jaw. She loved when he forgot—or didn’t bother—to shave. Scruffy stubble suited him.
The sun beat down on the back of his bronzed neck and shone on his hair, the colorof roasted coffee, a shade lighter than the dark shadow that charcoaled his face.
She fluffed her feathers in anticipation. Take your shirt off, Brick. She’dheard the giant werebear, Gee, call him that name a decade ago. He’d made some jokeabout a wall and the hardness of the male’s head. But Brick hadn’t laughed back then. Not ever.
He’d fascinated her from the moment he’d arrived in the glade, bruised andbattered. Once she’d learned his name, she’d treasured it, taking pleasure from repeatingit often. Secretly, of course. Unwrapping the syllable frequently to admire its radiancein the privacy of her tree house, the way a woman wearing pearls against her warm skin enhanced their luminosity and iridescence.
Now, as if he’d heard her silent urging, he complied with her plea, shruggingout of the plaid flannel and flinging it onto a tree stump. Her beak opened as she suckedin breath. Sweat glistened on his torso, glazing rippling pecs and abs, shoulders broadenough to span the Badlands. A huge, incredible specimen of masculinity. Thick biceps flexed as he wielded the ax. Her heart beat faster than a hummingbird’s wings. Heat licked her.

Clare Dargin's MERRY "CHRIS" MAS
Jilly Reimers wants love but can't find it. Chris Spinell is
a veteran of the war in Afghanistan who suffers from PTSD and a haunting
feeling that something is missing in his life. Chris Poole is also an
Afghanistan war veteran is ready to break out of his shell but is unsure how.
With Christmas just around the corner, they decide not to
spend it alone. Believing The Love Play Matchmaking Service to be just what
they need for a night of fun and passion, they sign up. But when the guys show
up and see that they've been set up on a menage, the only one happy about it is
Jilly.
Their consultant, called an Eros, assures Jilly that the
service has a perfect track record but she's certain they'll be the first ones
to get their money back. Will they have a very merry Christmas? Or will the
three spend yet another one alone?
Excerpt
Jilly idly twirled a lock of her hair as she gazed at the
fire. The meal was good, a bit awkward, but all right. Now with Chris S. in the
shower, she and Chris P., who’d freshened up after her, sat beside her. She
hoped she’d get a chance to know him a little better, now that they were alone.
Golden and sun-kissed like a surfer, he had a look
impossible to have around this time of year in Michigan, unless he spent
countless hours in a tanning booth. But at the same time he didn’t look like
the type who’d go to one. He seemed too rugged. She glanced at his short,
flaxen hair, which he wore pulled back in a stubby tail. It accentuated his
keen facial features. His physique, like that of a gladiator, made her want to
whimper. Built like a brick wall without being too thick, he was three
words—supple, etched, steel. And his Australian accent added to his raw
sexiness.
Whereas Chris S. was the perfect picture type of the
all-American, boy-next-door type, with light brown hair and sandy-colored tips
and eyes so blue they looked like the color of tropical water. He reminded her
of the high school captain of the football team who’d gone into the military
and become a man, except he had a sensitive edge that permeated his being.
While Chris P., who looked like he could take on a few guys at once, was more
lighthearted and outgoing.
Either way, she knew she hit the jackpot because both guys
were like something out of a magazine called Hot Guys “R” Us. They were a
perfect ten. It was best Christmas gift anyone could have ever given her. She
hoped a Chris Sandwich was definitely on the menu for the night. But how to get
past the talking stage, she had no clue. She wondered if all of her Love Play’s
match ups started like this.
Wearing some leggings and a cami, and he a T-shirt and
shorts, she suddenly felt overdressed. The art of seduction was not something
they taught in any of the schools she’d attended, and she sure as hell never
picked up any pointers from her so-called “friends.” And her exes never gave
her any encouragement in that department either.
This date should have come with instructions. I think I’m in
trouble.
She let out a long sigh.
“Did you say something?” Chris P. asked, stirring from his
long silence.
“It is. I’ve never been to a place quite like this.”
“Love Play has quite a reputation.”
“You’ve used it before?” He perked up, facing her.
Heat burned her cheeks. “No. It’s what I heard from some of
their clients.”
“So have you been married?” he asked.
“No.”
“Neither have I. Never found anyone to get serious with,” he
said, shrugging. “I don’t know. Maybe cupid’s arrow doesn’t work on me.”
“For me they’re defective. Or maybe his aim is bad,” she
said, trying to suppress the memory of her ex-boyfriend.
“What do you mean?”
“My relationships, they never work out.” She shrugged her
shoulders. “For whatever reason, they seem to choose my friends over me. Or it
ends up that way once we get together.”
He shook his head. “Nah. They were bad blokes from the
start. Believe me. I know. I’ve been around those types my entire life. The
randier they are, the worse they will be. If a man wants you, he’ll stay.” His
tone was soft, almost vulnerable.
“Maybe.”
“So tell me,” he said, turning to face her, “you ordered
this hook up?”
Again, her face flushed. She imagined it turning its
characteristic red when the blood rushed to her cheeks.
“Yes. But according to the guidelines, you would have either
had to be open to it or requested it too. Right?”
He chuckled. “I see he also got the smart I asked for. Yes,
I am open to a ménage.” His expression became serious. “Do you think me odd?”
“No. I’m glad we share that desire.”

Katalina Leon's FORSAKEN REALMS
On The Run, Bounty
Hunters.
“Retrieval specialist” is a fancy term for
high-level corporate bounty hunting and Agent Gemmina Nayar is the best in her
league. She’s a sense-enhanced, level-seven bounty hunter from New Mumbai who
receives an exclusive invitation to track a dangerous criminal on private
property. She arrives on the tropical planetoid eager to hunt and release her
inner tigress, but is disappointed to discover the bounty has already been captured.
Syan is a
Kironian, an off-limits alien race. He’s gorgeous, rugged and all male. Even
sedated and forced to wear an electronic silence collar, he resembles a coppery
skinned refugee from Mount Olympus. Gemmina’s unaware Kironian saliva is loaded
with pheromones that can turn even the most indifferent woman into a willing
mate. A single kiss or bite is sabotage.
When the
mission turns lethal, she realizes she’s not only been tricked into bringing
the wrong man to justice, but the harsh jungle below is a calculated trap.
Excerpt
Gemmina
faced the open bay doors of the complex. Shouts and several loud howls rang
from within.
The
guard mumbled into the communicator. “What’s going on in there? Ms. Nayar is
waiting to collect the retrieval.”
A
frantic response burst from the device. “He ripped the second silence collar
off! We’re replacing it now.”
The
guard appeared visibly shaken. “The collar’s made of carbon compound. How did
he do that? This is not good. Obviously, we can’t count on the collar. Don’t
you have him sedated?”
“The
sedation burns through him. We’ve given him enough to knock a rhino down.”
“Then
try something stronger.” The guard scowled.
A
burst of static buzzed from the communicator. “Kironian physiognomy is tricky
shit. This guy’s a puzzle. There’s something
weird going on with his blood. He keeps adapting to whatever sedation we give
him.”
The
guard glanced up. His eyes widened when he realized she had heard the
conversation. “I have Ms. Nayar right beside me. I advise we use force cuffs on
the subject, even if they violate intergalactic ethics protocols. They work.
Treat the sedation as back up.”
“Gotcha.”
“Force
cuffs?” A wave of disgust curled her lips. “Really? Are we living in the Dark
Ages? Not that I feel a great deal of pity for a psychopath who nuked innocent
people, but it looks bad on my side. The cuffs are notorious for causing nerve
and tissue damage, and they’re considered cruel and unusual. I’ve never had to
use them to get a retrieval under control.”
“Once
you’re out of Naveen’s orbit you’re free to do things your way, but I advise
you to not let your guard down with this guy.”
A
shiver of apprehension gripped her. What the hell had she gotten herself into?
Considering she had extensive experience with many humanoid species, she should
have felt confident in her abilities. But she didn't know exactly what a
Kironian was.
“Listen,
guys, even with access to a warp tunnel for part of the journey, Penal Colony
X57 is eighty flight hours away. I cannot leave a man in force cuffs that long.
Add to that the fact he’s Kironian and under political sequester and none of us
are legally authorized to punish or even interact with this species. I see a
perfect recipe for disaster. I don’t want to harm him and cause an
intergalactic incident. What are we talking about here? How humanoid is a
Kironian?”
“Very
human.” The guard was quick to answer. “But better—smarter, and stronger. Most
are peace-loving except for this character, who seems to be something of a
rogue. I’ll bet the Kironians will cheer when they discover we took him out of
the equation.”
Four
guards wearing head-to-toe body armor and face shields, and carrying ionized
bang sticks with the tips glowing hot, marched toward her, dragging a semi-conscious
man between them. The captive was slumped forward with head hanging and a
tousle of dark, wavy hair concealing his face. His splayed legs hung limp, and
the toes of his heavy boots dug deep furrows into the beach. The current
sedation seemed to be effective…

D. L. Jackson's BLACK HILLS DESPERADO
She’s
a bad girlfriend.
Nothing Xio Davis does is right. When she abandons her pack, riding out of town on the back of a stranger’s motorcycle, she finds she’s bitten off more than she can chew. First, it’s small-time crimes, then bank robbery. As Xio sinks into the criminal underworld, the FBI catches up with her. Now, she’s got one way out: snitch.
When Xio turns state's evidence against a Mexican drug lord, Agent Marcus Cazador steps up to take her home, giving up his career, his place in the El Paso pack, and all he knows to protect her.
Xio claims she’s not the same wolf who left ten years before, but can she convince Marcus she’s changed her wicked ways? Or will the Black Hills be the end of the road on her long journey to redemption?
Excerpt:
“A bank that’s never been robbed. There’s a first time for everything.”
State-of-the-art security. Armed rent-a-cops stationed on either side
of the double doors. A busy street making a speedy getaway difficult. A lot of
excellent reasons for Xio Davis get back in her Beemer and get out of Dodge.
None good enough to deter her from a challenge.
The two men who’d ridden with her climbed out. The bigger of the pair,
Juan, rolled his shoulders before reaching into the cab for a ski mask and
weapon, then passing it off to Miguel. “Catch.” He grabbed another and tossed
it over the roof to her.
She caught it, slammed a full magazine home, and tucked it under her
duster. With a wink, she retrieved her Day of the Dead mask from a recent
celebration. “Okay, boys. Let’s break their lucky streak.”
Diego gave her the freedom to do whatever she wanted these days, as
long as she kept his bed warm, and whenever she left his hacienda, she
remembered to take her escorts with her. Maybe it was his way of keeping his
eye on her—or on his money. Whatever the reason, she didn’t like it, so Xio
kept the boys too busy to stick their noses in her personal business. Too busy
to get close to the truth.
He didn’t smack her around or pass her among his friends and
associates. And his men had long ago learned to respect her personal space.
After one of his new hires had groped her, the man had lost a couple fingers
and ended up in a body cast. Diego didn’t have to say a word or do anything to
intervene. She’d policed her own problems.
Her boyfriend had grown busy with cartel business and that suited her
fine. Never present, all the better. They didn’t love each other, but had an
understanding. He provided for her, protected her when she needed it. She
scratched his itch and spent his money.
But life had grown dull. Triggered by a botched bank robbery in El
Paso, a restlessness had begun to swell inside her. Why, after all these years,
she didn’t know, but it was there, a constant reminder she’d shackled her true
nature in her quest to be free.
Her wolf constantly paced in her consciousness. Xio found herself
unable to settle, shift, or run in the wilds as her inner beast demanded. Not
because she physically couldn’t but because outside forces conspired against
her. That was what happened when you lived with humans.
Wolf—dog—it didn’t matter. All made great sausage for hungry families
in the villages surrounding the Sanchez ranch, and it was a risk she hadn’t
taken in the ten years’ time since she’d almost ended up in a taco on some
family’s dinner table.
She didn’t want to be in Mexico, and she didn’t want to be with Diego
anymore, but she really didn’t have a choice or anywhere else to go. Hence, the
reason she’d crossed the border for this small amusement. Perhaps she could get
some of the pent-up energy out. Open a valve and vent.
Speaking of which….
Xio pulled the mask over her eyes and strode through the front doors of
the bank. Her two team members flanked her.
No one seemed to notice them yet. Not very observant for a bank that
claimed to have a robbery-free record. Deciding to wake them all up, she yanked
an AKS-762 assault rifle—with a custom stock and barrel that catered to her
size—from under her canvas duster and fired several rounds into the ceiling.
Chunks of plaster rained down on the patrons in the lobby. Multiple people
screamed and several of the customers hit the floor before she needed to
provide them with instruction. Conversely, not everyone appeared to be a rocket
scientist. Not a problem. She had great communication skills and hearing
protection in her ears.
Xio fired a second time, bringing down more of the ceiling. She pointed
at the floor. “On your bellies, ladies and gentlemen.” As though doing the
“wave” at a sporting event, they dropped.
She strolled to the front of bank, kicked over one of the posts holding
a velvet rope, and stepped over it. She’d never been patient enough to wait in
line and wasn’t about to run their little maze now. Xio removed her earplugs
and tuned in with her wolf hearing, listening for anyone who might want to be a
hero. Not a peep—some crying, but that was par for the course.
Not a daredevil in the bunch.
She eyed the staff on the floor. The one thing all bankers feared was a
robber who jumped the teller line, and she was about to become their worst
nightmare. They’d taken classes, trained for robberies, all bank staff did—and
what did their security specialists warn them about? Her—joining them behind
the counter, up close and personal, with a loaded weapon.
“Palms on the floor and your ankles crossed. I haven’t got all day.”
She stopped at one of the windows and without the use of her hands,
jumped up on the marble countertop. At five feet two, the feat should have been
impossible for a human female of her stature, but she wasn’t completely
human—and impossible wasn’t in her vocabulary. In fact, that was why she’d come
here, chosen this robbery-proof bank. It was a matter of honor, and a little
about her ego. The branch had never been successfully robbed, and she’d decided
to change that.
It was Wednesday, the day after their big shipment came in, and the
third of the month, when a large majority of seniors got their Social Security
checks. Prime for the picking. The setup couldn’t be any sweeter.
She cocked her head and listened for sirens in the distance. Five
minutes out, if her hearing served correct. “Here’s how we are going to do
this. When I tap you on the shoulder, you get up and fill the backpack with
cash. No bait bills. I can tell what they are, so don’t fuck with me.” She
hopped off the counter and behind the teller line, nudging the first person
there with the flash suppressor on the end of her weapon. “Move.”
With tears in her eyes, the teller staggered to her feet, blubbering
something about children at home. Over the last ten years, Xio had heard every
story imaginable, and the young woman’s tale did little to change what she
planned to do. No, she’d never killed anyone, nor did she intend to start
today, but they didn’t know that.
“Save the speech and stuff the bag.” She shoved the backpack into the
blonde’s hands. “Now.”
The young woman pulled the drawer open and grabbed handfuls of cash,
leaving the bait bill in the till as instructed. Xio didn’t need to see the
special ultraviolet ink on it to know what it was. Her wolf could smell that it
had been handled a multitude of times by the same person. Once the teller
finished, Xio shoved her back to the floor and nudged the next. “Your turn.”
All followed instruction, until she reached the last person, a man.
Something about him raised her hackles. She should have listened to the
warning, but there were still two minutes left and she’d yet to empty the
commercial drawer, where they kept the big money. Greed won over instinct, and
Xio toed him with her combat boot. “Up, big boy.”
And wasn’t that understatement of the year? As he stood, she realized
he had to be at least six feet four, dwarfing her tiny frame. He didn’t look
like your typical banker, at least not any she’d dealt with in the past, and he
sure as hell didn’t smell like a banker.
Wolf. Shit.
He looked her in the eyes, holding her gaze for a few seconds, making
her trigger-finger itch. She wore a mask from a recent Day of the Dead
celebration and had salted her words with a Spanish accent, so unless he could
pick out her eyes in a lineup, he wouldn’t be able to identify her.
Regardless, she found his action brazen, considering she’d already
fired several rounds, though not enough he’d think her magazine empty. None of
the others so much as looked at her. This one had the balls to take a mental
snapshot that would help a sketch artist. The last thing she needed. There was
also one other thing missing. Fear.
The feeling prodding her before roared to life. Cop. Ah, that’s
the reason his scent had seemed so familiar. Double shit. Not only was
he a cop, but they’d crossed paths before. This was the man, or should she say
wolf, who had been on her trail for months, since her gang had slipped up in El
Paso. Lord knew she’d tried to ditch him. Once a wolf got a scent of his prey,
he didn’t back down. Things had just gone from bad to worse. She wasn’t sure
what pack he was from. More than likely the El Paso Cazador in Southern Texas.
Wolves didn’t tend to stray too far from their territories, not higher-ranking
pack members, anyway. Something told her he was up there in the group, a Beta,
if not an Alpha. The stench of authority clung to him.
Wolf or not, one thing was for certain. He wasn’t here to administer
pack law. Suddenly nervous—something that never happened to her—Xio stepped
back to put space between them.
She’d walked them into a trap, and if what she saw in the man’s eyes
was correct, a carefully orchestrated one. Her only advantage was that she
still had a loaded assault rifle. “We need to leave. Now,” she called out to
her crew, who were supposed to be watching the customers in the lobby.
No sound. No confirmation they’d heard her. Not good. She couldn’t
smell them, but that didn’t mean anything. They could be near an air-conditioning
vent or fresh-air exchange. Wouldn’t be the first time it’d happened. She
chanced a glance back to see what they were doing, and saw no sign of them. Shit!
They’d either bailed, left her to take the fall, or they’d already been
apprehended while she’d been preoccupied with cleaning out the teller stations.
As she turned to address the cop, her weapon was wrenched away and the
butt caught her in the jaw. Xio dropped like a bag of rocks. Her wolf wasn’t
helping her out of this one. That was what she got for letting her ego get
involved.
“Good
morning, Miss Davis. Let me introduce myself. I’m Special Agent Marcus Cazador
of the FBI. Didn’t anyone ever tell you banks are most often robbed within the
first few minutes of opening? We figured you’d be here, after the invitation
we’d extended. Safest bank in Texas. I can see you liked the billboard
at the port of entry. You and I have a lot to talk about, but business first.”
He’d used her real name, one she hadn’t heard in ten years. It sounded
strange coming from his mouth, but also right, as though he’d been born to say
it. Not good. This man was dangerous in so many ways. “Bite me.”

SAM'S TEMPTATION by V.S. Morgan
Title: Sam’s Temptation
Author:
V.S. Morgan
Publisher:
Decadent Publishing
Length:
86 pages, ~20,000 words
Genre(s):
Contemporary Erotic Multicultural
Western Foodie Rubenesque
Sam’s sole
purpose is the survival of his family and their ranch. Will he be tempted by a
sweet and sassy chef?
Blurb:
On a working
vacation in Montana, Chef Gabi Inez’s schedule allows her to enjoy planned
activities and hangout with her cousin and his new family. She’s not looking
for love, but spending time with a hunky cowboy sounds perfect. Gabi works
hard, but every girl needs some fun. What if flirting leads to something more?
Sam
Malone is the brains behind Blackbird, a guest and working ranch. Since his
parents’ death, his sole purpose has been family and the ranch’s survival.
Burned by love in the past, he avoids the distraction that comes with beautiful
women. But what’s a cowboy to do when a sweet and sassy chef gets under his
skin, only to be told by her overprotective cousin she’s off limits?
Excerpt
One:
He retreated a step, raising his hands
in a nonthreatening manner. “Sorry, I want to make sure you aren’t hurt. I was
going to save you from that creep, but you beat me to it.”
She tossed her head and dark curls
bounced around her face. “This is New York, cowboy. We girls save ourselves.”
Her tone was sassy, but her hands
trembled as she set the glass on the counter. The music changed to something
soft and slow, and he gave her a reassuring smile. When you fall off your horse, you need to get back on. “You
certainly did. If I promise to behave myself, will you dance with me?”
He held out his hand, fully prepared for
her to tell him to go to hell.
She hesitated and finally shrugged.
“Sure.”
When she placed her small hand in his,
his pulse raced.
He led the way to the dance floor and
loosely held her, fighting the urge to pull the beautiful woman close and bury
his face in her long hair; its unique scent combined with a hint of vanilla and
jasmine was intoxicating. His body flamed at each slight touch of their bodies.
He’d never experienced an attraction so instantaneous, so urgent. Not even with
his ex, Veronica.
“Do you have a name, cowboy?” she asked,
her soft voice causing his dick to harden.
It’d been a while, but where was his
control, damn it?
“Samuel Malone, brother of the groom.”
She must have really shorted out his
brain for him to give his full first name, which he never used. He was Sam,
plain and simple.
“Ah, I see the family resemblance. I’m
Gabriela Inez, cousin to the other groom.”
This beautiful lady was related to
Rafael? Why hadn’t he ever mentioned her? They continued to dance, and sparks
flared when she relaxed into him. She was a little thing, even in her sexy
stilettos. He hunched to rest his jaw against the top of her head. Perfect. He didn’t pause as the song
transitioned to another. No way was one song enough. He eased back and gazed
down, taking in her beauty and finally focusing on her full, luscious lips.
Suddenly nothing was more important than kissing her….
