A Christmas to Bear
Part of the Wolf Rock Shifters Series
Written by
Carina Wilder
There’s nothing quite like the feeling of going home to the family for Christmas. And that’s exactly why Aria’s chosen to avoid hers like the plague and head to the quiet mountain town of Wolf Rock to ski, celebrate single life and admire the male shifter population from afar. Funny how a little accident can turn a girl’s world upside down. Lucian is a sexy, reclusive polar bear shifter who’s stayed out of humanity’s way for ages, and he expects humanity to return the favor. That includes clumsy women who aren’t great at skiing but are remarkably gifted at smashing into trees. Will the laws of attraction trump the laws of common sense? Probably. It is Christmas, after all. The season of mistletoe, warm hearths and the warmest hearts.

POLAR BARED IS HERE!
Anti-Hero BIG Bear romance.
Gene only has one thing on his mind, vengeance, until Vicky crashes into his life.
When Vicky accidentally slides into the side of a polar bear, she doesn’t expect to fall in love. Eaten yes, perhaps used as a chew toy, but become the object of a bear’s affection and lust?
Crazy! Almost as crazy as the fact the polar bear turns out to be a man. A sexy man. A man who growls, and roars and does everything he can to chase her away.
Only to come back.
Poor Gene. After the pain and betrayal he suffered in the war all he wants is vengeance against the brothers who left him behind. But he’s confused when instead of wanting to punish him for his evil acts, they offer him forgiveness.
As if that weren’t annoying enough, the cutest geek he ever met—with caramel kissed skin covering a lush, rounded figure and wearing the sexiest dark rimmed glasses—won’t leave him alone. Or more like, he can’t seem to stop following her. And it isn’t just because someone is out to hurt her.
He wants her. But does he want her more than vengeance?
Welcome to Kodiak Point, where the wildlife might wear clothes, but animal instinct rules the heart.

#2 – Outfoxed By Love

Excerpt:
Two sets of eyes turned her way, and Vicky clamped her lips tight, suddenly wishing she’d kept quiet.
“Who is she, really?” Brody asked. “Don’t tell me Ghost has finally settled down?”
“As if,” Gene snorted. “She’s just someone I came across who can’t seem to stay out of trouble.”
Gee, what a warm and fuzzy way of describing their strange relationship. “I’m not doing it on purpose,” she mumbled.
“Yet, that hasn’t stopped shit from happening to you and around you,” Gene rebuked, but not with his usual acerbic tone. “Say hello to Vicky. I met her while she was investigating polar bears in the Arctic Circle.”
Brody barked a laugh. “So she kn—”
Gene cut him off. “Knows they are awesome creatures.”
“Majestic,” she corrected, only to blush as Brody fell against the wall laughing so hard.
“Oh, this is fucking priceless,” Brody managed to gasp. “Majestic.” This sent him into another gale of laughter while Gene glared.
“I don’t see the humor. Polar bears are brave and noble creatures. Much better than say a mangy wolf.” It was Gene’s turn to smile as Brody sobered and glared back.
“You wish.”
“I know.”
Vicky wished she could understand the serious miens over which animal was better. She tried to alleviate the tense situation, which, despite the tenseness and the volatile size of the men facing off, for some reason didn’t send her into a panic. Despite the testosterone heavy in the air, though, she didn’t worry. These men weren’t the type to bring her harm.
More and more, she couldn’t help but see the difference in how a man could treat her and how much her father and Rick differed—not in a good way. “The polar bears weren’t the only incredible thing out there. Gene was probably the most important person I met. He saved me.”
Gene shook his head no and made throat cutting gestures.
Catching the motion, Brody stepped in front of Gene and smoothly said, “Really, how? Tell me more?”
“He’s saved me quite a few times since we’ve met. First from the bear and then the poisoned coffee that almost had me freeze to death. Then there were the guys who tried to kill me by making it look like I got attacked by a bear. The bear was the first one to actually save me there, but Gene arrived shortly after.”
“And was he by any chance naked?” Brody asked.
A frown creased her forehead. “Yes, how did you know?”
A smile split Brody’s lips. “Old Ghost here never did like getting his clothes dirty during battle. And is that all that’s happened?”
Having sidestepped Brody to take a sentinel position by the window, Vicky couldn’t help but note Gene’s resigned expression as Vicky extolled his virtues. “Well, after he found some new clothes, we ended up escaping the camp before the other bad guys could get us. But they started shooting at us. Gene took care of them when they chased us down on snowmobiles, and Gene singlehandedly saved both our lives. Gene’s a hero,” she finished with a pleased smile in Gene’s direction.
Oddly enough, his shoulders were hunched, his head was down, and he shook. Overcome with the trouble she’d caused no doubt.
Turning back to Brody, Vicky couldn’t help but note his wide eyes, eyes that got wider the more Vicky rambled on about Gene’s general awesome nature.
His incredulity when he snickered, “Ghost, a hero?” was totally uncalled for.
“He is,” she insisted, indignant enough to plant her hands on her hips and tilt her chin.
“Are you fucking kidding me?” Brody asked, not of her but Gene.
“I wish. Trust me, I’ve tried to dissuade her from this foolish fantasy that I’m a decent person, but for some reason, Pima here just won’t believe it.”
“Because I didn’t imagine it. You saved me, which makes you a hero.”
“You know, I bet you could carry off those tights. You’ve got good legs,” Brody mused aloud.
“Sounds great especially since I could use them to garrote you,” Gene threatened.

Well for one book at least lolol.
I’m in a print anthology with Opal Carew, and Lauren Hawkeye. Quarry Press, a Canadian Publisher out of Kingston Ontario, combined our stories into a thick ‘n juicy book titled Turn Up The Heat, which given the cold weather rolling in, will come in handy. (Especially in the bedroom – wink!)
If you’d like to pop by and see me or Opal, here’s where we’ll be at, and yes, I will have swag. Even better, if you show up and say I am an EveL Minion, you will get either a t-shirt or an apron. How freaking cool is that?!
Anyhow, get ready to schedule a visit on one of the following dates:
November 9th, from 1pm-4pm at South Keys Chapters
November 15th, from 1pm-4pm at Pinecrest Chapters

Say Hello to Brandy Walker
I recently had the pleasure of connecting with an author, a delightful lady, and I thought I would mention her upcoming release.
Shifted Plans Shifter U, Book 1
Avery Hillman has one year of college left. Once it’s over she has plans, BIG plans. A job managing her family’s medical practice, an apartment of her own, and a new life where she’s the one in charge. No hovering family, no annoying siblings, and no mate to have to divide her time to be with.
Declan Weller has one more class to finish. One more thing he can cross off his ten-year plan. Once that is done, he can transfer to the new job waiting for him and his new life. He isn’t looking for his mate and as far as he’s concerned, finding her can wait another two years.
The Fates have a plan of their own. One that includes throwing Avery and Declan in each other’s path. It’s high time those two found each other and learn the most important thing of all…sometimes plans need to shift.
COMING NOVEMBER 3rd

Holiday Abduction – a sneak peek
Coming in December (if all goes well) is a purple novella of an alien hero with probably no redeeming qualities. lol. Actually Vhyl, whom the heroine pronounces Vile, is an acquisitions specialist, with murderous tendencies. When he ends up on earth in search of an alien artifact, he finds more than he expected. Namely, a cocoa skinned human who doesn’t seemed impressed by his threats.
Without giving too much away, let’s just say this pair embark on a wild adventure that ends, eventually. in a happily ever after. With a sneak peek at past characters in the epilogue and a bonus short story of Tren’s first Christmas with Megan (and the birth of their child) this humorous tale, which takes place for the first time on earth, is sure to please fans of my Alien Abduction series.
Here’s a few rough excerpts to get you giggling:
His mother was so proud of his accomplishments and his sister so jealous of his reputation. As for Vhyl, he knew he was on the path of fame and success given they both plotted his demise to inherit his fortune. What more could a male warrior ask for?
“You can’t just kill them.”
“Why not?”
“Well, because you can’t. I mean they’re just doing their job. Besides, won’t killing them be like declaring some kind of alien war?”
His face turned pensive. “You might have a point. The galactic council would probably be most displeased if I annihilated earth military forces. They’d probably put out a universe wide call for my execution or arrest.”
“Exactly.”
“How many do you think it would take for me to kill before achieving such a splendid feat?”
“Excuse me?” She gaped at him. “You can’t seriously aspire to be a wanted criminal?”
“What warrior doesn’t? Do you know what kind of glory I would bring to my family, if I single handedly had your planet declare war on my kind?”
When the forest opened up, the moon chose that moment to unveil itself, illuminating the world in a white glow which reflected off the snow on the ground. A poetic male would have found the scenery beautiful and probably waxed eloquent–which meant Vhyl would have had to kill him. He did so hate the artsy types.
