The Talon Pack (A spin off of the series and set in the same work with the same characters) will not have volumes so you’ll have to buy the individual book.” Enjoy a little taste of what Redwood Pack Vol 6 has to offer!

She knew what the others saw when they looked at her, the raven-black hair, the light green eyes. So many others had told her she was one of the most beautiful people they’d ever seen. What a load of crap.

After Mastered: What’s Next? (And Pre-Orders!)
Thank you so much for putting MASTERED on the New York Times and then the USA Today List TWO weeks in a row! You guys are amazing. I got new readers from it (so hi!) and older readers started reading my contemporary series because of it. So yay! Now, what’s next? My story, INK REUNITED, is a prequel to my Montgomery Ink series.
The first prequel was INK INSPIRED. Shep and Shea found their HEA in New Orleans and you can buy their book now. It’s even in Audio!! I loved this novella and you even get to find this couple in some of the other stories in the series.
Next Up in the series is DELICATE INK. This story is about Austin, who you met in the two prequels, and Sierra. This is the first full length book and brings the series up to Denver where the rest of the series is mostly taken place. Austin is the oldest of his siblings so he was the best person to start off this part of the series with! I like to call him my sexy, broody, tattooed hero. And OMG how he is! You can actually pre-order this title on Amazon HERE for it’s Oct 14th release. Once I get more links, I will share right away.
After that, I have a novella called FOREVER INK coming out in the HOT INK anthology (Nov 12th). I call it a novella, but it’s actually twice as long as Ink Reunited so it’s really a short novel. Or something. With all these words going about I should just tell you its a steamy book about an older man and a tattoo artist! You can preorder HOT INK on Amazon HERE. I will share more about Forever Ink in a bit. Cari Quinn and Sidney Bristol are both in this antho with me and it’s not a box set where the stories are already out. These are brand new stories about ink, a little kink, and broody heroes (and heroines!). I’m so excited to work with these ladies. As an aside, the cover for Forever Ink is already on the site and Goodreads. The novella will be out on it’s own later in 2015, but if you want the story right away, HOT INK is the way to get it!
The second full length book in the Montgomery Ink series is TEMPTING BOUNDARIES. First, yes, I know, it doesn’t have INK in the title! It’s okay, LOL. Not every book will have Ink in the title, but as you can tell from the cover, we have a theme here. The reason it doesn’t have INK in the title is that there are two different types of Mongtomerys (Okay, so everyone is unique, but go with me here). Some of the Montgomerys work at the tattoo shop Montgomery Ink and some work at the Construction Company Montgomery INC. See what I did there? Others aren’t affiliated with either but their significant others will be. So I will do my best to ALWAYS put what series my books are in like I’ve been doing. As always, you don’t have to read the books in order since each book is about a different couple, but you’re more than welcome to!
So, what is Tempting Boundaries about? This is my best friend’s little sister book and I’m writing it right now! It will be out Dect 9th so lots of Ink on the way! I will have the pre-order link for this next month.
Speaking of preorders: Redwood Pack Vol 6 is up for preorder on Amazon, ARe, Kobo, and iTunes. B&N will be up on the release day of August 26th. You can find all the links HERE! This contains Fighting Fate and Loving the Omega for those of you who like to read in Volumes. I will warn you that this is the LAST volume of the series. The Talon Pack (A spin off of the series and set in the same work with the same characters) will not have volumes so you’ll have to buy the individual book.
And while I have you. Thank you for a wonderful release day for DARK FATES. This is an anthology with six ALL NEW stories that can be read as stand alone if you haven’t read the other authors yet. We did that on purpose so you wouldn’t feel lost. My novella, THE HUNTED HEART is about Emeline and Noah. People begged for their story so here it is! I also answered a few questions about North and what had happened to him in Hidden Destiny since I know you wanted to find out the outcome. This novella won’t be on it’s own for a long while, so if you want the story, you’ll have to read Dark Fates for now.
That’s all I have so thank you so much for reading and pre-ordering! If you have any other questions, let me know!

Dark Fates: An All New Paranormal Romance Boxed Set

Excerpt:
“I’m a cougar. A cougar on the prowl.”
Lexi and Bay Jamenson cracked up laughing, almost falling off the bed they were sitting on surrounded by piles of discarded dresses and pants, but Emeline didn’t find it funny. Oh no. Not at all.
The two of them were her friends. An odd thing to say after so many years of staying within the elder community of eight or so wolves who had grown bored of each other ages ago. Now Bay and Lexi were there to help her dress for her date with Noah.
Her date.
With Noah.
Goddess, what had she been thinking?
“I’m a cougar, ladies. Isn’t that what it’s called? Some past-her-prime woman who chases after young men so she can have her way with them before tossing them away for a younger version? They want all that virility and energy, and want to remember what it’s like to be youthful. A cougar. I’m a cougar.”
“Oh, honey, please stop calling yourself a cougar,” Lexi said, tears streaming from her eyes.
Emeline put her fists on her hips and scowled. “That’s what I am, aren’t I?”
“No, Emeline, you’re a wolf,” Bay said, clearly trying not to smile and failing badly. “A female wolf about to go on a date with a very sexy male wolf. Stop calling yourself a cougar. Though, oh my god, that’s hilarious.”

Excerpt:
“Go out with me, Em.”
She froze, her eyes wide. The salmon popped on the grill beside her, but neither of them moved to take care of it.
“Out? Like out out?”
For someone who’d lived centuries, she sure didn’t understand everything she thought she did. No worries, though, he’d teach her. He’d show her everything.
He set down the knife, turned down the grill behind her—the action forcing her to move closer to him—then quirked his lips.
“Yes, out out. You and me. On a date.”
“But why?”
He tried not to wince at that but failed miserably. He could have said he wanted to go out with her because they were mates and fated to be together. That once they did, once they mated, they would each be destined for a future filled with bliss, babies, and lots of time panting.
Considering he wasn’t even sure she could feel her wolf wanting him that way, he had a feeling he should keep those thoughts to himself.
“Why?”
“No, no, that’s not what I meant. Oh, Noah, I’m sure a nice young wolf would go out with you. You don’t have to pity date the old woman who lives alone.”
Okay, now he was getting angry. “Don’t patronize me, Em. I asked you out. You. No one else. I want to take you out on a date. You’re not an old woman who doesn’t deserve to be cherished. You’re Emeline. An Elder and a fucking amazing woman. So please, come out with me.”

Excerpt:
“Thank you, Noah. I know I’m being stupid by not accepting your help. You do so much for me, and yet I push you away. I just hate that my mind wanders so much that I forget to take care of myself. I’m getting so old and senile it’s a wonder that I’m not put out to pasture.”
His wolf snarled. He set the salmon and milk jug on the counter and turned, cupping her face. She let out a little gasp, but he ignored it because he needed to get the words out.
“You are not senile. Your mind works more than any other wolf I know. You’re working your butt off for others, Em. So what if you forget to eat? People younger than you tend to forget what they’re supposed to be doing for themselves when they’re focused on other things. It makes you scatterbrained. Not old. Get the thought out of your head that you need to be, as you put it, put out to pasture, or anything like that. You got me? You don’t get to talk about yourself like that in my presence. You saved us all, Em. You did it with your mind, your heart, and your strength. You’re allowed to forget a meal or two.”
She swallowed hard, and it took all within him not to bend and brush his lips against hers. She wasn’t ready for that. And come to think of it, he wasn’t sure if he was either. Because once he did, he wouldn’t be able to stop.
