Leopard Territory Releases
Leopard Territory releases from Changeling today!
I love this story!
LEOPARD TERRITORY
By Cynthia Sax
Now Available From Changeling Press
Jeanine knows there’s safety in groups, and no group provides more protection than a pride of lion shifters. She is determined to catch the eye of a young lion shifter and convince him to choose her as his mate. There’s one problem with her plan, and that’s Adar — ruthless billionaire financier, scarred leopard shifter, and the only male she has ever desired.
Leopards are solitary, territorial, and very protective of their mates. Jeanine is Adar’s mate. She simply doesn’t realize it yet, but she will… soon. Adar is ready to stake his claim on his small human, and he won’t tolerate any male’s encroachment on his turf. He’s willing to fight to the death to prove he’s the only big cat Jeanine needs.

Interview With A. M. Griffin
I sat down (virtually) with A. M. Griffin for a short interview. A. M. Griffin writes hot SciFi romances for Ellora’s Cave and her latest release is Dangerously Yours, the sequel to Dangerously Mine.
Cynthia Sax: What do you find most exciting about Dangerously Yours?
A. M. Griffin: I like seeing the progression from one story to another. I hate seeing a really good story end. That’s why I love series! For me, it feels like the first story didn’t end. I also love Sa’Mya and Kane. Both of these characters have a lot of growing up to do. It was important for me to redeem Sa’Mya from Dangerously Mine and in doing so, let the readers know and love her like I do. I couldn’t pair Sa’Mya with just anyone, she needed someone just as head strong and stubborn as she is. I do believe they make one great couple.
Cynthia Sax: What is your favorite line from Dangerously Yours?
A. M. Griffin: He thumbed toward his bed. “What is that and why is it in my bed?”
I love this quote because it personifies how Kane feels about aliens in a nutshell. Although Sa’Mya is very humanoid looking, Kane still refers to her as an “it”. Sa’Mya can understand Kane, unbeknownst to him at the time, and believe me, she isn’t too happy with hearing him refer to her as an “it”.
Cynthia Sax: What creates conflict between Kane and Sa’Mya?
A. M. Griffin: The major conflict which drives Dangerously Yours is that Kane hates all things alien. He blames aliens for his wife’s death and aliens at large for not stepping in to help Earth during the hostile invasion. Even though he’s attracted to Sa’Mya, he fights the feeling. Sa’Mya on the other hand, has no problem with her attraction to Kane. Luckily for her, Kane can’t resist her for long, especially since he’s got her trapped in his cabin.
Cynthia Sax: Will you be writing more stories in the Loving Dangerously series?
A. M. Griffin: Dangerously Yours is the second book in the Loving Dangerously Series. The first book in the series is Dangerously Mine, the third (on the way) is Dangerously Hers which tells Jess and Rasha’s story, the fourth is Dangerously His tells JB and Saia’s story and the fifth Dangerously Forever tells Allysan and Kiehle’s story. Readers can visit my website under the “Works in Progress” page to track where I am with story completions!
Cynthia Sax: What one piece of advice would you give new writers?
A. M. Griffin: Believe in yourself! I could give a ton of advice such as finding great critique partners, take writing classes, join author groups…etc, but all that won’t do a thing if you don’t believe in yourself first.
Thank you, A. M. Griffin, for joining us today!

*****************************************************************************
The steamy standalone sequel to Dangerously Mine.
Kane Epps divides his life into two distinct parts—before the alien invasion and after. Before the invasion, he had a pregnant wife and a high-powered job. After the invasion, he’s left with only himself and his hatred for all things alien. He channels his bitterness by captaining a vessel of renegade humans—space pirates who don’t think twice about taking what they need.
Princess Sa’Mya is on the run. She and a few trusted advisers fled her home planet, only to be captured by the sexy, dangerous Captain Epps. He claims to hate aliens but can’t seem to resist touching her or kissing her…everywhere. As Kane introduces Sa’Mya to ever-increasing, unimaginable realms of pleasure, the princess becomes determined to earn his trust. She’s used to getting what she wants. And this time, what she wants is Kane Epps.
Inside Scoop: This space-opera romance contains male/male sex scenes, girl-on-girl action, group sex and some good old-fashioned voyeurism.

Wayback Wednesday – Legal Beagle
Legal Beagle was my second contribution to Changeling’s wonderful humorous Protect & Serve series.
Officer Wright is the easy-going partner of the tough-talking Officer Drake (the hero of Badge Bunny). He takes one look at Judge Sadie, his beagle-shifting judge, and falls in love.
As with many of my stories, Legal Beagle can be read at a couple of different levels. There’s the fun story about a genetically-enhanced supercop and his beagle-shifting mate and then there’s the deeper story about the acceptance of self.
LEGAL BEAGLE
By Cynthia Sax
Now Available From Changeling Press
My name is Officer Wright. I’m genetically enhanced as one of the city’s finest, and a normal day for me involves plugging liquid sunshine into rogue vamps, tagging and bagging renegade werewolves, and putting the fear of the badge into all criminals.
But these are not normal days. While my partner takes a leave of
absence to bang his bunny, I’m stuck on babysitting duty. Yeah, stop
laughing. It would be more humorous except the chick I’m tailing is a hot little beagle-shifting judge, and when she takes the bench, believe me, my whole body comes to order.

Skies On Fire From Cynthia Sax

Jayla, the ship’s botanist, would never ask Reisen to turn his back on duty, not even to save her life. During an attack on her laboratory, all she asks of the impressively large male is that he take care of her beloved plants should she die… and that he remember the one stolen kiss they shared in a darkened alcove.
Reisen will never forget that kiss. Jayla is his mate, the sole being he is meant to spend his life with, and if she dies, his dreams will die with her. But he is honor-bound to protect his captain, and a Dracheon warrior never breaks his vows.

Tiger Byte From Cynthia Sax
Billionaire tiger shifter Nikhil Baagh has learned to subdue his savage nature. He no longer chases enemies through the city streets, maintaining justice with his teeth and claws. The exotic CEO follows human laws now, laying a sophisticated trap for the curvaceous hacker daring to illegally access his technological empire.

When an uptight tiger shifter meets a no-rules hacker, chaos reigns, empires fall, and old enemies resurface. Can Nikhil embrace his wild side and risk everything for love?
