Poor Travis…the woman he wants is married to someone else

“Travis, stop staring at the doc’s butt and get your hairy carcass over here,” Brody called.

Caught.

Travis couldn’t help but make a face at Brody as he realized he was going to have to trade his seat beside a hot hawk for one beside a glaring wolf. He’d probably get a lecture too.

Sometimes being the youngest in a group sucked. Holding in a sigh, he levered himself from his current spot and dropped himself into the empty seat beside Brody.

“What’s up, boss?”

“Stop bugging the doc.”

“Who says I was bugging her?” Travis replied.

“Are you going to tell me you weren’t making big bear eyes at her?”

The biggest he could manage, not that they seemed to work. “So what if I was?”

“She’s married, dude.”

“To a douchebag.”

“Yup. A douchebag we’re going to run into in less than eight hours. You need to cool it around the doc.”

“I haven’t done a thing.” Not laid a single hand on her, even though he was tempted.

“Never said you did, however, dude will only need to take one look at your googly eyes and he’ll know. Then kill you.”

“He can try.”

“And he’d probably succeed. Frederick might be an asshole, but he’s a trained one. A deadly one.”

“What makes you think he’ll care who’s staring at Jess? The man hasn’t been home in over three years. Three, dude!”

“Just because he’s been ignoring her doesn’t mean he wants anyone else poaching. Guys like Frederick are funny that way.”

“Not funny to me.” Not when he stood between Travis and Jess. Sure, she’d never given him any indication she returned his interest, not openly, but Travis knew she felt something. Call it a sixth sense. Gut instinct. Whatever. He could also smell her arousal whenever he got too close, like just now. If Jess were single, Travis knew he could—

The slap in the back of the head forestalled any interesting thoughts on what he could do to the red-haired doctor.

He glared at Boris, who took a seat across the aisle from him. “That was uncalled for.”

The big moose smirked. “So do something about it.”

“And have Jan threaten to make me into a rug for your living room floor again? No thanks.”

Because all great adventures start in a garage…with a few beers

“First off, I will go on the record to say this is probably one of your most half-baked plans yet.”

Gene rumbled. “Yet? I don’t know. I can think of a few that started off worse and drunker.”

“No kidding,” Brody said with a chuckle. “The pink bunny on my ass is a daily reminder.”

Reid, their alpha, rolled a big shoulder. “I’ll admit it’s kind of a piecemeal plan, but it’s a long flight. We should have something better by the time we land.”

Boys will be boys in this rollicking adventure, and love will have its way…even if it has to kill a few people on its path.

Bunnies are cute, cuddly and…ferocious?

The heroine is certainly all of those things in this reader favorite, Bunny and the Bear.

United States, Canada, Australia, India and more

Genre: Paranormal/ Shapeshifter (Killer Bunny) Romance

Bears and bunnies aren’t supposed to mix, or that’s what Chase keeps telling himself when his bouncy new neighbor won’t stay out of his business—and his mind. However, the more he gets to know his overly perky neighbor, the more he craves her, a desire worse than his addiction to honey and pie.

Miranda’s on a mission for the Furry United Coalition, and it involves secretly guarding one grumpy ol’ bear. Staying focused on the job isn’t easy when all she can think about is turning his frown upside down, a task made harder when she gets a glimpse of his passion. When she hears about his theory on woodland creatures and predators not mixing, she thinks all is lost, but she didn’t count on a bear’s curious nature—and possessive need.

When an evil force abducts Chase, Miranda unleashes her bunny in order to save him, but the revelation of her shifter side puts her in danger. Is one ornery bear enough to save her from a mad scientist? And if he does, can a bear forget her woodland creature status long enough to love her and make her his mate?

Warning: No bunnies were permanently harmed in the making of this story, but the prognosis isn’t so good for the pie.

***On sale currently for $0.99 in the United States. $1.99 in Canada and Australia. Discounted as well in other countries but the sale price will vary depending on tax/vat and the rate of exchange.

Are you ready for a grizzly kind of love?

COMING February 17th, 2015

Pre-order available at:

A BIG bear romance.

Dr. Jess is his soulmate. His grizzly knows it. He knows it. Suspects she does as well. But he does have one dilemma standing in his way.

Her husband.

Talk about inconvenient.

Good thing Travis is tenacious. Even if he has to travel across an ocean, endure scorching temperatures, subsist on crappy food and survive attempts on his life, he won’t give up until he wins her heart.

Or dies trying.

Jess made a mistake. She married too young, to the wrong man. Problem is, hawks mate for life, and murder is against the law. To add more insult to the situation, her mate won’t even attempt to be a husband. It seems he isn’t interested in keeping his vows, nor is he coming home anytime soon, so when the chance arises to confront him, she takes it. However, facing him changes nothing.

Freddie doesn’t want her…but Travis does.

And oh how she wants him too. Wants, and yet can’t have him.

However, her marital problems aren’t the only issue. Their pursuit of the nefarious being behind the attacks on their town is being sabotaged by treachery. When Jess and Travis barely survive an ambush, she can no longer deny her love for the rascally bear. But will they survive long enough to see if it’s possible for her to rectify a wrong and take him as her mate?

Welcome to Kodiak Point, where the wildlife might wear clothes, but animal instinct rules the heart.

#1 – Kodiak’s Claim
#2 – Outfoxed By Love
#3 – Polar Bared
A Holiday Novella – Caribou’s Gift
#4 – Wolf’s Capture
#5 – Grizzly Love

Excerpt:

Rawr!

The unexpected and extremely vibrant roar in his head made Travis wobble on his feet, which sent people scurrying. He couldn’t blame them. A guy his size falling over could lead to some squished body parts and possible broken bones. Something he well knew given it happened to him during his scrawnier years when trying out for football.

What he couldn’t figure out was why his bear felt a need to vocalize at all. Sure Travis was injured, hence why he walked into the emergency room of their local clinic—his second home due to his accident-prone nature. But he’d gotten hurt worse in the past.

His bear rawred again, a happy grumble that was, this time, also joined by a hunger. Not a hunger of the belly—his ma kept him too well fed for that—but of the body, as in his manparts waking up.

Hello, why the hell was he having a boner moment? He’d thought those days of uncontrollable urges done and an embarrassment he’d outgrown.

The reason for his arousal soon became clear.

Whilst his bear might have smelled her first, as soon as Travis got within a few feet of the reception desk he saw her, did a double take, and ogled.

There she stood. The woman of his dreams.

A perfect creature who made his heart race, his palms sweat, and his bear roar. It also rolled around in his head as if drunk on honey and berries, but he ignored the less-than-dignified response of his beast side because the woman of his dreams probably would frown at such an immature reaction.

See, the female he vowed in that moment to make his mate was a doctor. A hot, redheaded one. A woman older than him, he judged, but only by a few years. It added an extra layer in his instant lust for her.

A lust unrequited.

Given he was making those waiting in the reception area wince, what with his arm hanging at an awkward angle, a nurse quickly booked him in—no need to fill out forms when you were a regular—and had him perched on a bed.

It wasn’t long before the redheaded goddess arrived at his bedside, where he sat holding his crooked arm courtesy of a football game that got a little rough. Also known as a future lecture from his mother about wearing equipment for sports.

As if a grizzly would stoop to wearing protective gear.

Only pussies—the cowardly kind, not the jungle cat variety—wore helmets and padding. And for those who might not know, calling any kind of feline a pussy never ended well, or without scars. Travis even bore a healthy respect for his mother’s Siamese cats, especially since the night he woke with one perched on his chest, sucking the life from him. He let out a very undignified scream and his mother, arriving in hair curlers and brandishing a lamp, chided him, “Stop your ruckus. My baby kitty is just showing how much he likes you.”

Showing affection indeed. He made sure to check his room now before going to bed, lest his mother’s satanic pets try and steal his soul.

“What happened?” his future mate asked as she placed her clipboard on the bed and gently palpated the injured area with latex-covered fingers.

It sent a thrill through him.

“I caught the perfect pass, but Boris tackled me, and I didn’t land right. Then Kyle landed on top of Boris, and, well—”

“You got squashed and your arm cracked.”

“Yeah. But I scored.” He shot her a smile, which might have worked better if she’d meet his gaze. Even if just once.

However, she didn’t. Dr. Weller, the new doctor for the clan—whom he’d heard about through the grapevine, headed by his mother—barely paid him any notice as she splinted his broken arm so it would heal straight.

At twenty-two, fit, and with a deadly smile that ensured his mother kept him supplied with heavy-duty condoms, Travis wasn’t used to women ignoring him.

He tried conversation. “So, you’re the new doctor, eh? I hear you just moved here. Where from?”

“Anchorage.”

Still no eye contact. Even Travis had to wonder at her odd bedside manner. It was almost as if she intentionally wouldn’t meet his gaze.

Maybe because she feels the sizzling connection too.

But in that case, why pretend it wasn’t there? Was it some doctor/patient thing or something worse? Like was she dating?

Only one way to find out. “Hey, I know we just met and all, but are you free for dinner tonight?”

Without raising her eyes, she replied, but completely ignored his question. “Be sure to keep the cast on for at least three days. Otherwise, if you shift the bone while it’s healing, we’ll have to break and reset it.”

He couldn’t help but roll his eyes. “I know. This isn’t the first time I’ve broken something.”

“For such a young man,” emphasis on the young, “you seem quite accident prone. You have one of the thickest files around.”

“What can I say, I’m a vigorous fellow.” And yeah, he did emphasis it and threw in a dimpled smile for devastating effect.

Still nothing!

“Maybe you should think of enlisting. I hear the military is a good channel for boys and their extra testosterone.” This jab did result in her meeting his gaze, her brown eyes dancing with mirth, even if her expression remained serious.

The remark hit home. His lips drooped. “I’ve thought about it, actually. But my mother…” He trailed off. Need he really say more?

The whole town knew his mother. Betty-Sue, queen of the baked goods and wielder of the mighty spoon. Even the slightest mention of him going anywhere for more than a night sent her into a despondent fit.

Part of it was overprotective theatrics, he knew that, but the second part was fear. Travis had lost his dad, his mom’s true love and mate, on a simple training exercise for the military. A fluke accident that, in one stroke, took someone they both loved from their lives.

She recovered by smothering Travis, and because he not only adored his mother but also worried about losing her too, he allowed it.

Then chafed at it in his teens.

Then growled at it when he graduated and got stuck in Kodiak Point at their tiny rinky-dink excuse of a college. Campus consisted of less than thirty kids. So much for the frat boy experience.

As he’d neared graduation, he’d hinted at perhaps enlisting.

The result?

“I can’t believe you’d do this to me,” she wailed. “It’s not bad enough the military made me a widow, but now they’re going to steal my baby boy too? I’ll be”—and yes, her lip trembled and her eyes welled with giant tears—“all alone.”

Deep down, he knew she’d played him, that she overdid the drama, and yet, a part of him recognized he could meet his father’s fate. While he could accept that risk, he knew it would utterly destroy his mother.

She might seem strong to those who’d crossed the bad side of her spoon, but Travis knew better. Ma needed him.

However, Travis couldn’t tell Dr. Weller—the hottest thing he’d met in Kodiak Point since the time Boris convinced him to try his three alarm chili—his reasons for not joining though. He’d learned enough from the men he admired, Boris, Brody, Reid, and the town flirt, Kyle, to know he’d lose any chance at ever becoming a part of their manclub if he admitted to such a weakness.

His attempts at more idle chitchat with the doctor failed. Arm set in a cast with instructions to take it easy for a few days, she sent him on his way.

But he went back, kind of regularly as a matter of fact. Funny how he couldn’t go a few weeks, sometimes days, without busting something. Of course, it wasn’t exactly clumsiness but more his mouthiness that got him in trouble.

However, no matter how often he ran into Doctor Weller, the woman he was obsessed with but who wouldn’t give him the time of day, he never received the slightest encouragement. On the contrary, after a while, it was almost as if she actively avoided him, leaving him to the less-than-tender care of her nursing staff, who didn’t make his bear rumble in excitement or his heart pitter-patter.

Travis knew he should give up on Dr. Jess, especially once he found out she was already married to a military fellow serving overseas, but instead, the longer her hubby stayed away, the more he was convinced he and Jess were meant to be together.

He just didn’t tell his mother. She would have beaten him with her spoon for sure if for one moment she suspected her baby boy was pining to leave her for another woman.

His shrink bought her new car on his sessions alone.

Mandy Harbin is running a HOT sale

Brody “Brutus” Jackson isn’t your average small-town mechanic. The shop where he spends his days doubles as the headquarters for the mercenary group he works with. They jokingly call themselves the Bang Shift because the government contracts they take are the less savory ones, and they’re all just shady enough to do what’s necessary to get the jobs done. As far as Brody’s concerned, it’s the perfect arrangement for a man with no memory of his past, and no hope for the future.

Under FBI protection, Alexandria Collins and her son have been in hiding for ten years. When it’s time to move again, her piece of crap car breaks down and the man giving her a tow is the biggest, hottest guy she’s ever seen. She is determined to ignore the need her long-neglected body hungers for. After all, the last man she showed interest in put a gun to her head.

Brody thinks the skittish Xan is sexy as hell, but it’s not her hot body that has him rocked to his core. He knows her from somewhere, and in his line of work, that’s a dangerous thing. Following orders have never been this hard, but when he finds out she’s his next assignment, he will protect her at all costs … even if what she needs protection from most is him.

Grab it during it’s awesome sale from Sale 1/26 – 2/1

Working on Cyborgs

So I’m getting close to finishing book 6 in my Cyborgs: More Than Machines series. Adam, is centered around the leader of the earth resistance and liberation movement. He’s more human than some of the other cybernetic models, but at the same time, because he must work undercover, he doesn’t like to allow anyone to get close to him. Until a certain doctor catches his eye.

Given the secrets he hides, he finds it easy to resist her allure, but when danger draws them together, he can’t resist the temptation she poses.

I’m toying with blurbs

On Earth, when a rebel cyborg leader is drawn into a search for answers, he doesn’t expect things to blow up. And he’s not just talking about his house. Somehow his heart explodes too with the last thing he ever expected—love.

Another blurb…

He survived because the military made a mistake.

They crossed the line when they decided to take away his free will and turn him into a machine.

They mistakenly thought he was a slave they could command.

But their biggest screw up of all was when they didn’t terminate him at the first sign cyborgs were regaining sentience.

Now that I know what they’ve done, it’s my turn to fuck them. Without lube. Without mercy. It’s time I blew things up.

And I’ve got some rough excerpt to tease you with.

“How are you feeling?”

“Surprised.”

Not the answer he expected. Scared; yes. Tired; probably. In shock; normal. But…“Surprised? By what?”

“The fact we’re alive.”

“Of course we are. There was never any other possible outcome.” Another cybernetic failure, one most cyborgs suffered from; overconfidence.

A good looking guy like him wouldn’t jeopardize his career for sex with an overworked, under exercised, science geek.

Before she could mentally list all her faults, she employed her self empowering speech. I am a beautiful, strong woman. I don’t need a man’s attention to know I’m special.

But she sure could use a man to remind her what it felt like to be a desirable woman.

Sigh. She hated it when she argued with herself.

Are you excited a new cyborg is coming?
