Capturing a Liger's Heart
That's exactly what Kenzie is after in the latest addition to the Awakening Pride Series, The Liger's Mark.
The Liger’s MarkAwakening Pride Book SixBy Lacey Thorn
The Avenging Angel…Gabriel is the man his people need, an avenging angel who brings death to those who torture and massacre shifters. He never planned to take a mate, but once he does, it takes everything he has to walk away. She wears his mark, but for now, that’s all he can give.
A Woman Alone…Abandoned at birth then shuffled between foster homes, Kenzie knows what it means to be unwanted. Even adoption didn’t make her feel loved when she was booted out at eighteen. She’d expected her mate’s mark would give her a place to belong…and someone to whom she’d belong. It didn’t. She was marked, mated then discarded.
Mine…
The mark awakens things long dormant inside Kenzie and sends her on a journey for answers. She won’t stop until she learns the truth, even if it tears her world apart. She’ll find the ones who left her to stand alone when they should have loved her. She’ll start with her mate.
Excerpt:
The door flew open, and she blinked as she took in the huge liger that padded inside. His mouth opened, teeth flashing as another roar sounded, and the power of it shot straight to her womb. Adrenaline surged through her, and she fought to push her claws out, to free herself.The scuffle stopped, and both men faced the liger, but they were no match. It was over far too quickly, leaving only corpses on the wooden floor. The liger turned his head toward her, mouth opening, but it wasn’t a roar this time. It was a purr—one she was more than willing to return.“Release me,” she demanded, but it came out softly, her voice thick with desire.The liger inhaled, its aqua gaze glowing. She closed her eyes briefly, squeezing her thighs together as lust struck like an electric jolt straight to her clit. She forced herself to look and found a man before her, bigger and more beautiful than she’d ever imagined. She knew he was hers. Finally, she’d found the one person who would never leave her. Something inside her held back the claim she wanted to make. She felt it, like a flutter of her senses, as if the animal she could never reach was beating against a locked door.“Your name?” she asked, needing it as if it were a lifeline.“Gabriel.”Gabriel. It sank deep into her soul, filling places that had been empty for too long.“My hands,” she said, tugging at her tied wrists until his gaze moved there.He shredded her bonds easily and before he could pull back she was on him, arms wrapped around him, biting down on his chest, attempting to claim him in a way he couldn’t deny. God help her, some part of her sensed he might try to deny her.He gritted his teeth, holding back the growl his chest rumbled with as she sucked his skin into her mouth, frustrated with her inability to leave her mark and claim him as any other shifter would.“You can’t be mine,” he stated, voice rough and deep, but his hands held her close.“Mine,” she countered, reaching for his hair and pulling his head down for her kiss.She meshed their lips, pressing and fighting for him to let her inside. Why was he denying her? Denying them? She nipped hard, biting his lip forcefully enough to make him groan, and still he refused to open. She ran her hand down his torso and wrapped her fingers around his rock hard cock. He might be fighting the mating, but his body was primed and ready for her.He groaned louder as she stroked him, mouth finally falling open, and she flicked her tongue inside. He stiffened against her, his whole body tensing until she feared he might break. Then it was as if his control snapped. She found her back pressed to the mattress once more, but this time her mate was over her, moving between her thighs. His cock nudged her slick folds, lodging at her opening and with a growl, he plunged deep.“Damn you,” he said with a harsh grunt as she panted and clung to his broad shoulders.This was what she wanted, what she’d prayed a lifetime to find. Her mate. She wrapped her legs around his waist, holding him against her as he thrust. He had one hand cupped at her hip while the elbow of his other arm rested by her head. His fingers gripped her hair as he rode her. His head was tilted back, lips wide, as if even in taking her he fought against her. Why was he holding back?“Mine,” she said again and let her teeth find the reddened mark she’d left on him. She sucked at the skin again, and he jerked in response. She bit down, frustrated with her inability to pierce his skin like she craved to.Another rumble sounded from his chest, and he tugged her hair until her neck was arched toward him. His lips whispered along her flesh, a light caress that had her begging for more.“Please,” she sighed. Wanting this. Needing this.“He cut you.” The rumble was dark, erotic, and had her channel clenching around his pistoning cock.“Do it,” she ordered, though it came out sounding more like begging even to her.His tongue licked over the wound, tasting her, and she swore fire leaped inside her at the slick caress of his tongue over the spot the knife had scraped. She arched into him, pressing her neck more firmly against his mouth.“Do it,” she ordered again.A fiery ache ripped through her womb again, and she finally realized what was happening. The shot. Her body was starting to respond to the shot the Professor had given her. Though it would still be a few days before she went into full heat, she felt the changes the shot was forcing in her body. She undulated, using the grip of her arms and legs to curl up into him. Then she did something she swore she’d never do for any man. She softened, relaxing her neck and whimpering her need to him, submitting to anything he wanted. As if he’d only been waiting for that, he struck, canines sinking deep just where she longed for them.Her back hit the mattress as he took them both back down, teeth holding her tight as his cock owned her pussy with every hard thrust of his hips. Her whimpers turned to cries of pleasure as her body was flung impossibly high. She felt it, a merging of so much more than their orgasms. Lights flashed in her head and pain resonated, making her cry out. She felt something, a shift inside her and clung to consciousness as he whispered against her skin.“I can’t have you. Damn you! My life isn’t my own.”She wanted to claim him. Mineresonated in her mind, in her heart, but blackness pulled her under before her lips could form the word.

Jagged Hearts is Live
I've launched my first self-publishing project, Jagged Hearts. This one is a romantic suspense and begins a brand new series for me, Knight's Watch. The cover is awesome!!! I love it!!
Here is the blurb:
Jagged HeartsA Knight’s Watch StoryBy Lacey Thorn
Five Years Ago: Brutal Attack Rocks Entertainment Industry
Paisley Ames can't escape the headline splashed across every news outlet, a vivid reminder of the tragedy that changed her life and still haunts her. Despite the passage of time, she can't heal. She can't let in the man who might show her how to live again.
Barrett “Bare” Locke took one look at Jamison Knight’s daughter and saw a survivor. A woman, fierce and strong. Too bad she doesn’t see it. He understands what it is to lose someone you love. If Paisley will give him the chance, he’ll show her how to heal the jagged pieces of her broken heart.
But someone doesn’t want Paisley to heal. They want her to remember…until they decide it’s time for her to die.
A hot little excerpt:
Copyright @ 2015, Lacey Thorn
Bare ignored her question. “Tell me what you need, Paisley?”
“You” hovered on the end of her tongue, and for the hundredth time, she asked herself if it would really be so bad to lose herself in the desire she knew he felt for her. Unfair? Yes. She got the feeling he wanted more than a one-time deal. He deserved more than a woman who’d never love again, one without the jagged scars of a past that would never set her free.
“I don’t know,” she said with a shake of her head. “Felt like the walls were closing in. I needed to get out, get away for a bit.”
“Let’s get out then,” he said. “My bike’s outside. We can go anywhere or nowhere. Your choice.”
The thought of straddling his big black bike and wrapping herself around him sent a shiver through her. She wanted to say yes.
“Come on. I know you want to,” he said with a grin.
And she saw Lance. His brown eyes twinkling as he challenged her to run off to Vegas and marry him. God, what a fucked up place her head was. Fucked up and guilt riddled.
“I can’t,” she said. “Let my dad know I stopped by.” She turned, heading toward the door, but his next words stopped her midstride.
“He’s dead,” Bare said gruffly. “I doubt he would have expected your life to end with his.”
“You don’t know anything about him,” she forced out between gritted teeth, clenching her hands into fists at her sides and keeping her back to him.
“But I know you, better than you like to think,” Bare retorted. “I know there’s a real flesh-and-blood woman under that thick skin of yours. One with needs. One who didn’t die five years ago, no matter how much she wishes otherwise.”
She whirled around, letting his words fire her blood and fuel her anger. “You see what you want to see and nothing more.”
“If I saw only what I wanted, it would be you naked and in my bed, too exhausted even for memories.”
“So I should just forget everything and jump in bed with you? Let you fuck me senseless?”
“Hell, yes!” he practically yelled. “You need to be fucked. Often. I want to knock every thought out of your head so you have no choice but to feel for a change.” He walked over to her and jerked her against his broad chest. “Feel me. I’m right here, Paisley. Flesh and blood.”
He was a foot taller than her, and his erection hit her belly, taunting her with what she shouldn’t want, what she didn’t want to crave.
“I don’t want you,” she told him, and the cocky bastard just laughed, though there was little humor to the sound.
“You want me, and it eats you up with guilt. I see it every time you look at me.” He had one hand clamped against the small of her back, holding her against him, while he used the other to cup her chin and tilt her face up to him. “Deny it. I dare you.”

Wind Beneath My Wings
I had a huge achievement in my writing career last week. Waking the Beast hit the top 100 on Amazon, going as high as #30 while hitting #1 on the Paranormal Romance list. It also reached as high as #5 on Barnes and Noble and #9 on Kobo. I can't even begin to convey how that feels. But it was the moment I was told hitting that high has netted me a new title that my heart felt like it would explode. I am officially a National Bestselling Author. Me! Who would have ever imagined?
My mother... She would have imagined this for me. And she was absolutely the first person I wanted to call when I heard the words. Unfortunately, heaven doesn't have phone reception so I had to imagine the conversation, hear her pride in my accomplishment. That's the thing, I can easily do that because I never once doubted it once I became an adult. Childhood? Totally different story, lol. But as a woman, a wife, and a mother, I came to appreciate and understand her even more. Then I lost her, far to soon to the ravaging disease known as cancer.
So I heard the words...National Bestselling Author... and I wanted to call my mom. Out of everyone in my life, she is still the first person I want to share things with. So I started crying and babbling (thank God the neighbors didn't hear me). Those three words may not mean much to some people, but for me it's a validation that I did make the right choice when I decided to follow this dream. And in my head (and my heart) I heard my mother tell me how proud she was. I could hear her tell me she always knew I'd reach my goals.
So today, I sit and think of my mom and how much I miss her. There's one song that always makes me think of her, and I think it probably applies to a lot of moms out there. A lot of them are content to sit in the shadows while their children shine, content to be the wind beneath their children's wings. I know my mom was.
Hey, mom, I'm flying. I'm really flying.
"Wind Beneath My Wings"
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
It must have been cold there in my shadow,
to never have sunlight on your face.
You were content to let me shine, that's your way.
You always walked a step behind.
So I was the one with all the glory,
while you were the one with all the strength.
A beautiful face without a name for so long.
A beautiful smile to hide the pain.
Did you ever know that you're my hero,
and everything I would like to be?
I can fly higher than an eagle,
'cause you are the wind beneath my wings.
It might have appeared to go unnoticed,
but I've got it all here in my heart.
I want you to know I know the truth, of course I know it.
I would be nothing without you.
Did you ever know that you're my hero?
You're everything I wish I could be.
I could fly higher than an eagle,
'cause you are the wind beneath my wings.
Did I ever tell you you're my hero?
You're everything, everything I wish I could be.
Oh, and I, I could fly higher than an eagle,
'cause you are the wind beneath my wings,
'cause you are the wind beneath my wings.
Oh, the wind beneath my wings.
You, you, you, you are the wind beneath my wings.
Fly, fly, fly away. You let me fly so high.
Oh, you, you, you, the wind beneath my wings.
Oh, you, you, you, the wind beneath my wings.
Fly, fly, fly high against the sky,
so high I almost touch the sky.
Thank you, thank you,
thank God for you, the wind beneath my wings

So I heard the words...National Bestselling Author... and I wanted to call my mom. Out of everyone in my life, she is still the first person I want to share things with. So I started crying and babbling (thank God the neighbors didn't hear me). Those three words may not mean much to some people, but for me it's a validation that I did make the right choice when I decided to follow this dream. And in my head (and my heart) I heard my mother tell me how proud she was. I could hear her tell me she always knew I'd reach my goals.
So today, I sit and think of my mom and how much I miss her. There's one song that always makes me think of her, and I think it probably applies to a lot of moms out there. A lot of them are content to sit in the shadows while their children shine, content to be the wind beneath their children's wings. I know my mom was.
Hey, mom, I'm flying. I'm really flying.
"Wind Beneath My Wings"
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
It must have been cold there in my shadow,
to never have sunlight on your face.
You were content to let me shine, that's your way.
You always walked a step behind.
So I was the one with all the glory,
while you were the one with all the strength.
A beautiful face without a name for so long.
A beautiful smile to hide the pain.
Did you ever know that you're my hero,
and everything I would like to be?
I can fly higher than an eagle,
'cause you are the wind beneath my wings.
It might have appeared to go unnoticed,
but I've got it all here in my heart.
I want you to know I know the truth, of course I know it.
I would be nothing without you.
Did you ever know that you're my hero?
You're everything I wish I could be.
I could fly higher than an eagle,
'cause you are the wind beneath my wings.
Did I ever tell you you're my hero?
You're everything, everything I wish I could be.
Oh, and I, I could fly higher than an eagle,
'cause you are the wind beneath my wings,
'cause you are the wind beneath my wings.
Oh, the wind beneath my wings.
You, you, you, you are the wind beneath my wings.
Fly, fly, fly away. You let me fly so high.
Oh, you, you, you, the wind beneath my wings.
Oh, you, you, you, the wind beneath my wings.
Fly, fly, fly high against the sky,
so high I almost touch the sky.
Thank you, thank you,
thank God for you, the wind beneath my wings

A Jaguar's Touch, Awakening Pride Book 5 is here!
A Jaguar’s TouchAwakening Pride Book FiveBy Lacey Thorn
The lone Jaguar...
Gideon prefers to stay on the outside, watching, but he’s willing to step in and protect when needed. He doesn’t want family, keeps friends at arm’s length and refuses to believe there might be a woman out there meant to be his and only his. Men like him don’t have mates.
A Woman Undone...
Vic only has one use for men, and it sure as hell isn’t to protect her. She was a Marine. She takes care of herself. She feels the intense burn of desire and knows what others think. There’s only one way to prove them wrong. Sate the lust and walk away.
Mine...
He’s sure he can fight the need for her even with the touch of fever in his veins, but he never counted on fighting her need as well. Neither of them wants a mate, but the beast inside Gideon is ready to stake a claim. And if that happens, one night might turn into forever.
Excerpt:
From A Jaguar's Touch Copyright @ 2015, Lacey Thorn
“I’m not a woman who runs or hides from anything,” she said, and it sounded like a warning.“I’m not asking you to run or hide. I don’t care what your job is. I’m sure you’re more than capable of doing anything needed. I’m just asking you to give me a wide berth.”“I heard you quite well when you said you wanted me to stay the fuck away from you.”She took another step, bringing her close enough that he could reach out and touch her. Instead, he fisted his hands at his sides and pressed them against the rough bark at his back.“You heard, but you don’t seem to have listened,” Gideon snarled at her.“No, I questioned. Is it just me or all humans you don’t want around you?”“I have nothing against humans,” he growled. He could feel the sweat on his brow as he held onto the ragged edge of his control.“So it is just me.” She purred, leaning in so her breath caressed his cheek.“You’re playing with fire.”And the hellcat moved all the way in until their bodies pressed together. Her curves fit him perfectly, as if she had been created with him in mind. Her lips brushed his when she spoke.“Good. As long as I’m not the only one who burns.”He grabbed her. One hand fisting in her short curls, the other grasping the flare of her hip. He meant to shove her away, but that was before she grabbed him back. Her hands clenched in his hair, gripping the strands so tightly he felt the edge of pain along his scalp.“I’d planned to kick your ass,” she panted. “Or at least make you suffer.”He rocked his hips into her, letting her feel the hard length of his erection. “I’m suffering,” he promised.She caught her breath, just for a second, just long enough to make him wonder if she was finally wising up. Then she slammed her mouth on his and thrust her tongue inside. It was wild and fed into his most primal aggressions. He fought and lost his battle to keep away from her.“Just sex,” she said when they broke apart. “We both know this isn’t a mating.”“Just sex?” he questioned.“I want you,” she admitted. “And I plan to have you.”“The feeling is mutual.”“But me and you? We’re just about the fucking. Is that clear?” she asked.“Very,” he agreed and took her mouth again.He devoured her, exploring every crevice of her mouth and coming back for more until neither of them could breathe. He turned them until she was pressed between the tree and him. He used his boot to nudge her feet far enough apart to make room for him to move between her thighs. She retaliated by pulling his hair hard. He jerked, lifting his hands up to grip hers and lost a few strands in the struggle, but when their mouths broke apart, he had her hands captured and held prisoner above her head.“Now what?” she said, showing no fear as she licked her bottom lip and stared back at him.
“Now, we burn.”

Demon Chronicles: Serephin
Serephin wanted to be loved. Being half human and half demon made her an outcast. So, together with her two best friends, she heads to the human world hoping that since they look human, they will find a home there. But nothing is as they read. They are no longer outcasts, but if their demon blood is discovered they will become the hunted.
Morgin and Drallan vow to protect Serephin as long as she agrees to become their mate. Serephin can’t admit what she is and her mates have secrets of their own. Can the threesome find a way to trust and form a bond that includes love?
This one is book one in a trilogy. It is menage. Though the heroes are brothers, they share her and do NOT indulge in sex with each other. I hope you'll give it a chance!

New Year, New Books
I'm not one for resolutions and never really have been. I am all about making plans and doing my all to make the most of a brand new year! And I have so much planned for this year!
First up will be four brand new additions to the Awakening Pride Series! The pride is moving to a brand new location that will bring more change than they realize. There will also be many new characters introduced. Lots of change on the horizon as we continue to learn more about the hunters and what they want.
I'm also planning to launch a brand new series which I will self publish. It's a romantic suspense based series which I will share more about soon. I will say the prequel is already written and will be part of a special project that will be announced soon.
There are several other projects I plan to work on as well this year. I will keep you posted on all of them as they are ready. I hope to write a story for Jess and her wolves. There will be lots of planning on that one as I decide where to begin their story. I would normally say the beginning, but I did introduce them in the middle of their story. So... I'll need to think more on it.
I've thought long and hard about previous projects and adding to them. I know I have a few series I began and didn't finish. For this, I apologize. I do hope to finish them some day, but not until the story is ready. I've learned not to force a story that isn't ready. It never turns out right for me or readers. So I wait, which unfortunately means you all have to wait with me. I do promise lots of fresh, new stuff!
So stay tuned! 2015 will be an exciting year. Unlace and step inside! I dare you.
Happy Reading!
