Sneak Peek Sunday: Crave

Hello! This week I’ve got six paragraphs from Her Vampire Mate, part of Crave, a boxed set full of vampire romances. Hope you enjoy. 🙂

***

Not two minutes later, the vampire slid into the other side of her booth, facing her. “Were you coming to talk to me?” He gave her the same smile he’d used on the waitress.

And what was she supposed to say—’you’re my mate and if you ever touch another woman again I’ll slice your hands off with my claws?’ Right. Instead, she feigned ignorance. “No. Was there something you wanted?”

He gazed at her for a couple of seconds then stuck out his hand. “We got off on the wrong foot. I’m Antonio de Marco and I would very much like to get to know you better.”

As much as she wanted to shoot him down, she couldn’t. Getting to know him was exactly what she needed. She put her hand in his, doing her best to hide the jolt of lust that rushed through her at his touch. “Jennalynn.”

“No last name?” He brushed his thumb over the back of her hand.

If she told him her last name, he’d know she was related to the North American Pack Alpha. She needed to keep that quiet until she knew if she could trust him. “Not at the moment.”

Excerpt from Her Vampire Mate:

Jennalynn turned the door handle and pushed the door open, producing a lot less noise than she’d expected. When she stepped into the room, Mr. Tight Buns turned toward her. A lock of his dark brown hair had fallen out of the small queue at the back of his neck and down onto his forehead. His chocolatey eyes met hers as he straightened.

She kept her eyes on him but couldn’t miss that the room was empty. Completely empty—no furniture, no nothing. “What are you doing in Phillip’s apartment?” Might as well pretend to be an indignant friend of the missing Phillip Kent. Maybe he could explain why Kent’s stuff was gone.

“I could ask you the same thing, angel.”

His voice caressed her at the same time his scent reached her. It told her several things about him but most became buried by the rush of emotion and sensation that swept over her. She could never have imagined being turned to molten lava by a smell and a handful of words. This could only mean one thing. She’d found her mate.

Worse, her mate was a fucking vampire.

When the woman moved, Antonio knew instantly she was a werewolf. There was something about their lithe bodies, the way their muscles moved. He’d never been able to put his finger on it, but he’d never been wrong, either.

As a rule, he didn’t like werewolves. At the same time, there was something extremely sexy about her. There shouldn’t have been. He liked long hair and while her chestnut hair was long, it was pulled back from her face and fell in a braid down her back, masking its beauty. And while he preferred curves, she looked more muscled than lush. He preferred sweet, demur women like the blonde in the restaurant. This woman looked like she’d have a good shot at taking him in a fight.

Not that it mattered. When it came down to it, he loved women. Surely he could find something to love about this one.

After he finished perusing her body, he took another look at her face. Her bright blue eyes were wide, her full lips slightly open.

“Surprised to see me?” he said.

She cleared her throat. “What are you doing in Phillip’s home?”

“Sticking with that tune? I can tell you’re a werewolf. What is it you’re doing in Phillip’s home?” His tone twisted on the man’s name.

After licking her lips, she said, “Who are you?”

What was up with her? She looked positively shell-shocked. “You can hardly expect me to answer.”

“Fine. Vamp. Don’t answer.” She spun on her heel and left the apartment.

My Sexy Saturday: Crave

Happy Saturday! 🙂 Below are seven paragraphs from my novella Her Vampire Mate which was released last week as part of the Crave boxed set.

***

Antonio followed her. He didn’t bother talking again until they reached the sidewalk outside. “Maybe you didn’t hear my question.”

“I heard you.” Jennalynn didn’t stop walking.

“You were magnificent tonight. I think we’d be magnificent in bed, too.”

“No doubt,” she said.

The odd thing was, her tone didn’t sound sarcastic. Instead, she sounded almost wistful. “Then why the hell not?”

“Sex means more to me than it apparently means to you.” She didn’t look at him as she veered toward her car.

Antonio grabbed her arm. “How would you know what it means to me?”

Mid Week Tease: A Werewolf and a Vampire

Today’s tease is from Her Vampire Mate, part of Crave, a vampire romance boxed set coming out this week. Enjoy!

Jennalynn took a sip of her soda—she’d never liked the taste of alcohol—and watched that curvy, feminine, sexy brunette waitress stop by the vampire’s table. Her vampire. Her mate.

Jennalynn knew the waitress was just doing her job but when the vampire gave the waitress a smile sexy enough to melt a woman’s panties, Jennalynn fought to keep her claws from bursting out of the ends of her fingers.

She wanted to kill that woman. She might just rough him up at the same time, so he knew never to look at another woman again.

His gaze found Jennalynn and she looked away. What the hell was she going to do? He was her enemy. Yet somehow she had to convince him to fall for her, to love her, to stay with her.

She didn’t have a clue how. She’d trained as a fighter, studied hard for her education, but paid little attention to romance. On the contrary, she’d held herself away from dating for the most part. She saw no point in falling love with someone who wasn’t her mate when her mate might show up at any moment.

Not that she hadn’t dated or had sex. She had. But flirting? Seduction? She didn’t have a clue where to start. And her vampire was a pro at it.

Did vampires have fated mates? She had no idea. But surely if he’d recognized her as his he would be wooing her instead of…damn it…running his fingers up the waitress’s forearm.

She’d kill him.

If you enjoyed THIRST and HUNGER, this boxed set will be everything you CRAVE!

Beholden by Marian Tee – 18-year-old Zari, pet to Alexandru, a powerful, gorgeous vampire, is torn. Everyone tells her she has to be a perfect pet, but why bother when her Master seems bent on replacing her?

The Alpha’s Downfall, the Complete Stonewall Pack Alpha Series Boxed Set

From New York Times and USA Today bestseller Tabitha Conall…

Can they overcome their demons to find a love that lasts?

In a world where werewolves mate in threes, four threesomes face an intractable foe to find love. As an overwhelming mating lust pulls them together, they must face obstacles both outside and within their triads and conquer them all to have any hope of everlasting love.

This boxed set includes the following four novellas:

The Alpha’s Pack: An overwhelming lust draws werewolves to their two mates in this otherwise ordinary world. Deirdre, Jake and Sam find each other only to discover they must conquer the Stonewall Pack Alpha or be separated forever. Their enemy breaks every rule to get what he wants.

After struggling through years of separation made worse by the mating urge riding them all, three werewolves come together once again. Maeve, Nate and Damian must face their past in a fight for their love and their lives. Can they overcome their pasts to build a better future together?

The Alpha’s Secret: Werewolves mate in threesomes in this world where packs operate just under the surface of everyday life. Private investigators Gavin and Liam find their mate, Bridget, while on a case. But in spite of the mating lust riding all three of them, Bridget resists the urge. Something stronger than the mating lust keeps her from committing. Meanwhile, Gavin and Liam discover treachery in her past. Can they unravel the clues to both mysteries so all three of them can come together at last?

The Alpha’s Legacy: An overwhelming mating lust pulls mates together in this world where werewolves mate in threesomes. Sheriff Caleb Couteux comes to Marysburg to investigate the former Alpha of Stonewall pack, but gets more than he bargained for when he discovers his mates.

Excerpt from The Alpha’s Secret, part of The Alpha’s Downfall boxed set:

Bridget parked down the block from The Weeping Widow, a pub/tavern that claimed roots back in the colonial days. It certainly looked the part, with its wood timbers and dark interior. When Bridget told the hostess who she was meeting, she was told they hadn’t arrived yet, and was seated at a table for four. She glanced at her watch. Noon, on the nose. At least she hadn’t been late again.

A couple of minutes later, Bridget felt a powerful tingling, just like she had the night before on the phone. The outside door opened, and the most delicious smell wafted inside. It smelled like forest and sex and home. She couldn’t imagine what it was, but she had to find out. She stood to go look.

Her eyes met those of two wolves. From across the room, she couldn’t scent them to know they were wolves, but she just knew. Just as she knew what the scent meant, and who they were.

Her mates.

Bridget’s pulse pounded in her neck. She didn’t want mates. She’d never wanted mates. Shit. She sat down.

The two wolves walked quickly across the room to her, but she wouldn’t meet their eyes. She fought the urge to run. Their chairs scraped across the floor as they sat down.

“That’s why…” one of them said.

The other said, “Yeah. That’s why.” He reached out and took her hand where it rested on the table. “Bridget?”

She jerked and looked up at him, immediately caught by his eyes like a rabbit in a trap.

“We can skip lunch,” the other one said. “Find a hotel somewhere.”

The mating urge must be riding him hard. Hell, it was riding her hard. Her body had turned to a soft mush all centered between her legs. If she weren’t so scared, she’d be dragging them out of the restaurant and finding the nearest alley. She pulled her hand away.

“I’m Gavin,” the big one said. His dark hair and chocolate eyes made him exactly what she’d always found attractive—big, dark and sexy. If only he weren’t her mate.

“Liam,” the other one said. He wasn’t small, either, though he didn’t have the big muscles Gavin did. Liam was slimmer, lean and mean, his hair cut short in a dark buzz cut. His eyes were a striking blue.

She wasn’t sure what to say, so she went with the obvious. “I’m Bridget.” Her voice sounded small.

Neither of them would take their eyes off her. She felt naked and exposed.

“Let’s get lunch,” Gavin said. He flipped open his menu.

Liam gave a very faint whine, his wolf protesting the delay. He continued to gaze at Bridget. “I never thought I’d be lucky enough to have mates.”

Bridget couldn’t take it. She stood, dropping her napkin onto her seat. “I’ll be right back.” Then she fled to the bathroom.

***

“What’s wrong?” Liam asked Gavin. He’d found his mates. They should be kissing now, on their way to the closest bed. But she was obviously upset. “I don’t get it.”

Gavin gazed at the bathroom door. “I don’t, either. Something’s not right. She’s acting…”

“Scared. But she doesn’t have any reason to be scared of us. We’d never hurt her.” Liam didn’t know what he felt, himself. When he’d first scented her and then seen her across the room, he’d felt so excited. This was what he’d always wanted—mates of his own. Someone to come home to, someone to protect.

Then when he’d seen her body language, his wolf had nearly had a fit. She acted like someone had hurt her. Why else would she be afraid of them, two strangers who’d never done her any harm?

But he felt hurt, too. Why would his mate reject him when she didn’t even know him?

Bridget returned to the table, avoiding their eyes. Her hands shook a little as she replaced her napkin on her lap. “I’m sorry. I know this probably isn’t what you expected when you found your mates.” She took a breath. “The thing is, I don’t want mates.”

Ouch. “Why? What’s wrong with us?”

She met his eyes and he felt it like a kick in the gut. Hers were a warm blue, fringed with lashes the color of her reddish brown hair. Her lips looked full and kissable. “There’s nothing wrong with you,” she said fiercely. “Nothing at all. I just…I’ve never wanted to be mated. I’d hoped it wouldn’t happen and then I wouldn’t have to deal with…this.”

“Why?” Gavin said, face hard.

Liam had known the alpha a few weeks now. And while he was every bit as strong as any other alpha Liam had met, Gavin tended to be more low key. He didn’t flex his muscles unless he had to. Liam had asked him about it once, and Gavin had told him he’d had to curb his natural instincts when he became a detective, because he made a much better detective if he blended into the woodwork than if he walked in, fists flying. But now the alpha was back.

Bridget shook her head. “There isn’t a particular reason. I just never—”

“That’s not good enough. Did someone hurt you?” Gavin’s voice was soft, too soft. Like a wolf on the prowl.

“No. I mean, yes, but no. It’s not like that.”

“Then why? We’ve been given an incredible gift. Why don’t you want it?” Gavin was starting to sound angry.

“Just tell us why,” Liam said. He fought the urge to reach out and take her hand.

“I don’t know, all right? I just—I just don’t want to be owned.”

Owned?

She stood. “I have to go.”

“No, wait,” Gavin said. Both men stood, but she’d already gone half the length of the restaurant.

“Should we go after her?” Liam said. His hands felt clammy.

“Let’s give her time to cool off. Maybe she’ll change her mind.”

Mid Week Tease: Hot Werewolf Menage

Today I’m offering up a brief excerpt from The Alpha’s Secret, part of The Alpha’s Downfall, the Stonewall Pack Alpha Boxed Set coming out this week. In this scene, Bridget is struggling with not wanting to be mated while her two fated mates, Gavin and Liam, try to convince her otherwise. Enjoy!

“Tell us what it is,” Liam said.

She rounded on him, enunciating every word. “I don’t know what it is.”

Liam sat back in his chair. “Then what—”

She stood, the chair legs screeching, and made a cutting motion with her hands. “I just feel scared, okay? You’re both more dominant than me. Everyone’s more dominant than me. You’re going to steamroll right over me until nothing’s left.” Her face turned angry. “And that’s if you don’t turn mean after we’ve mated and start beating me.”

“Beating you,” Gavin echoed, his voice hollow.

It didn’t make sense. “What makes you think male mates beat their female mates?” Liam said. He’d never heard of such a thing. Females were to be cherished and protected.

“I don’t know,” she whispered. “I just know it happens.”

Gavin sat forward. “Did you see it?”

“I don’t know.” She sat down again, not looking at either of them. “I’ve always felt this way.”

Liam met Gavin’s eyes, and immediately knew what he was thinking. There was a story here. A mystery. And who better than two PIs to figure it out. She might think they couldn’t fix it, but she was wrong.

In the meantime, there were other approaches they could take. “What if you get to know us before we take things further?” Liam said. “If you find out we’re good guys, will that make a difference?”

“Maybe,” she said softly.

“Then give us a chance.” Liam slipped his hand into hers. “Date us. In public, with plenty of people around. Let us show you.”

She squeezed his hand. “Okay.” She let out a little huff of breath. “I feel so scared. At the same time, I feel like…”

“Like you trust us?” Gavin said.

Her tongue darted out to wet her lips. “Like I want to lick every inch of your bodies.”

Crave #Vampire Anthology Cover Reveal and #Giveaway

The fourth book in my Colliding Worlds series will be coming out next week as part of the Crave anthology. Check out the gorgeous cover below, then read an excerpt of Her Vampire Mate. And don’t miss our cover reveal giveaway at the bottom of this post!

Excerpt from Her Vampire Mate

When the woman moved, Antonio knew instantly she was a werewolf. There was something about their lithe bodies, the way their muscles moved. He’d never been able to put his finger on it, but he’d never been wrong, either.

Not that it mattered. When it came down to it, he loved women. Surely he could find something to love about this one.

After he finished perusing her body, he took another look at her face. Her bright blue eyes were wide, her full lips slightly open.

“Surprised to see me?” he said.

She cleared her throat. “What are you doing in Phillip’s home?”

“Sticking with that tune? I can tell you’re a werewolf. What is it you’re doing in Phillip’s home?” His tone twisted on the man’s name.

After licking her lips, she said, “Who are you?”

What was up with her? She looked positively shell-shocked. “You can hardly expect me to answer.”

“Fine. Vamp. Don’t answer.” She spun on her heel and left the apartment.

He might not know for sure but it was a good bet she was looking for the world-walker. His council contact hadn’t said anything but Antonio knew the vamps and the wolves were in sort of a cold war and it wasn’t much of a leap to figure the wolves would want a world-walker to give them an edge just as badly as the vamps did.

So he’d better follow her. He quickly left the apartment, closing the door behind him, and sped to catch up with her. By the time he reached her, she was standing in front of a downstairs apartment knocking on the door. The look she gave him could have wilted concrete.

Oddly enough, he found he liked her strong spirit. He leaned against the far wall while they waited for someone to answer the door. It gave him a good view of her butt, which was damn fine.

“I know you’ll be able to hear everything from over there,” she whispered. “Just join me.”

Team up? Was she serious? He covered his surprise as well as he could and walked toward her just as the door opened.

A little white-haired woman in a pink jogging suit opened the door. “Yes?”

“Sorry, ma’am. I’m looking for the building manager,” the werewolf said.

“He’s not here right now. Can I take a message for him?” The woman eyed Antonio, closing the door just a little.

As though that could save her.

The wolf spoke. “We’re looking for our friend, Phillip Kent. I’ve been calling and calling and we’ve stopped by several times but he’s not here. I just wanted to make sure he hasn’t moved out or anything.”

What a sexy little liar his werewolf was.

The woman’s face crumpled, a crease forming between her eyes. “Oh, honey. He moved out a couple of days ago. Didn’t even leave an address for his security deposit—said we could keep it. Do you have any other way to reach him?”

The werewolf touched her forehead before dropping her hand to her side. “Dammit. He always does this—takes off without telling anyone. He promised he’d stop.”

And that was his opening. Antonio stepped closer to her and put his hand on the back of her neck. “It’ll be all right, honey. We’ll find him.”

She immediately stiffened and sucked in her breath but the building manager’s wife didn’t seem to notice.

Instead, the older woman took a step backward, away from him. “He used to hang out at the Lucky Elbow down on Fourth. Maybe someone there might know where he is.” She started talking faster. “I’m sorry I can’t help you more. Best of luck.” She closed the door.

Antonio left his hand on the werewolf’s neck, massaging her with his fingers. She might be everything he didn’t look for in a woman but he felt an overwhelming urge to find out more about her.

For a moment, he felt her relax into him. Her head fell back just the slightest inch. Then she jerked away and headed for the outside door.

He hurried to keep up with her—not too difficult with his vampire speed. “Thought we were teaming up.”

“To talk to the building manager,” she said. “That’s it.”

He put his hand on her back. “You sure? I bet we could make magic together.”

She sucked in her breath and walked even faster.

“What’s your name, sweetness?”

She stopped and turned to him. For a moment, her eyes wavered then met his. “This isn’t going to work.” As she turned and stalked away, he heard her murmur, “What the hell am I going to do?”

Antonio knew what he wanted to do and it didn’t have anything to do with finding a world-walker.

Sneak Peek Sunday: The Alpha’s Downfall

Hello! This week I’m giving you six paragraphs from The Alpha’s Pack, part of The Alpha’s Downfall, a boxed set including all four of the Stonewall Pack Alpha series novellas, which is coming out this weekend. Hope you enjoy. 🙂

***

Jake had never smelled anything better in his life. It was like earth and sex and home all rolled up together. He’d been looking for a restaurant where he could get some lunch, but ever since he’d smelled that scent, he couldn’t do anything but follow it.

He walked down a sidewalk lined with trees and quaint storefronts. The sun shined bright overhead. He passed a photo store, a butcher, and a book store as the smell grew stronger. As it became overwhelming, he felt himself growing hard. What the hell?

He had no control. Like a siren holding him in her grasp, the smell wrapped around him, sliding over his hair, heating his skin until he felt more turned on than ever before. He knew what this was. There was only one thing this could be.

Jake turned a corner and went down a little alley that opened into a flower-filled courtyard. A woman stood in the middle staring at him, and on the far side of her another man walked through a different alleyway entrance.

He’d found his mates.

Jake approached the woman. She was beautiful, to him. About medium height, shiny brown hair that brushed her shoulders, big blue eyes surrounded by thick lashes. Her skin was that pale that never tans, only burns. Her body was well-muscled yet slender, the perfect she-wolf’s body.

Excerpt from The Alpha’s Secret

Most of Bridget’s family was busy figuring out what food to order, but Nate, one of Maeve’s mates, stared at her from down the table. When he caught her eye, he shook his head at her.

Oh, God, she hadn’t even thought about Maeve and her mates. Nate had every reason to judge her, for trying to do to her mates what he’d suffered through for so many years. She hung her head.

Liam leaned over and whispered in her ear, his breath warming her skin. “Is he bothering you?”

When she turned her head to look at him, their lips were only inches apart. “No. He’s reminding me.”

“Of?”

“Nothing,” she said.

He leaned closer, frustration written on his face. “Talk to me, Bridget. Tell me what’s wrong. I just want you to be happy. For us to be happy together.”

Bridget felt the fear well up again and pulled back. She hurriedly took a sip of water. Yes, she felt bad about Nate and Damian. And she didn’t want to do the same thing to her mates. But at the same time, she’d never wanted mates. Why should she have to have mates when she’d never wanted them?

Jake, the Alpha of Stonewall pack and Deirdre’s mate, raised his glass. “To Gavin and Liam. Welcome to the family.”

“Hey!” He shouldn’t be welcoming them to the family when she didn’t even want them. As mates.

Her Alpha speared her with his gaze. “I trust that you’re all going to work this out. So there’s no reason not to go ahead and welcome them.”

She wanted to walk out. Even if Jake would let her—doubtful—she couldn’t get past Gavin and Liam. So she stayed put.

Jake raised his glass. “Again, welcome!”

This time, Bridget stayed quiet, and everyone drank. She felt like a heel, so she also took a sip. She didn’t want to hurt her mates. She just didn’t want to be mated to them.

Gavin reached over and put his hand on her leg. The warmth sank through her pants and seared her thigh.

She should make him stop. She should push his hand away. But God, it felt good.
