Cover Reveal: FLAME AND INK
Isn’t it pretty!?!? FLAME AND INK is a special anthology of nine short stories, deleted scenes, and novellas set in almost all of the series I’ve written. Most have been on the website before or in my newsletters. Many people asked for them to be on Amazon or iBooks and I couldn’t see myself asking $0.99 for one or two stories. So when they word counts added up to something I felt okay with, I made FLAME AND INK.
I do hope you enjoy it if you haven’t had a chance to check out the stories before. And if you HAVE, now you can have an easy download. Thanks so much for being awesome readers and asking for this!

Emotional with an erotic edge, the Montgomery Ink series is ready to roll with heart-pounding drama and heated sparks ready to ignite. Between tattoo shops, construction companies, and lost loves, the Montgomery family is going to leave a mark.
Ink Inspired – Montgomery Ink Book 0
Shepard Montgomery loves the feel of a needle in his hands, the ink that he lays on another, and the thrill he gets when his art is finished. At least that’s the way it used to be. Once he sees Shea Little walk through his shop door for her first tattoo, he knows there’s something more to her than her prim outfits and wide eyes—he sees inspiration.
Ink Reunited – Montgomery Ink Book 0.6
When the men from Sassy Bordeau’s past walk into her tattoo shop, she’s compelled to face what she left behind. Rafe Chavez and Ian Steele will have to do more than grovel to earn back the woman they’ve always loved…and each other.
Delicate Ink – Montgomery Ink Book 1
Although wary, bearded and broody tattoo artist Austin Montgomery, and scarred-in more-ways-than-one Sierra Elder embark on a slow, tempestuous relationship. When blasts from both of their pasts intrude on their present, however, it will take more than a promise of what could be to keep them together.

Throwback Thursday: An Alpha’s Path
Its #ThrowbackThursday #TBT and I’m throwing it all the way back to An Alpha’s Path (Redwood Pack Book 1)! Here’s an excerpt.
(c) 2011 Carrie Ann Ryan
Kade looked over his shoulder as the bathroom door opened. Melanie had changed into a new more comfortable outfit. The top and leggings she put on did little to hide her delicious curves and only increased his desire for her. “Decided against the bath?” Kade’s breath became shallow as he watched Melanie practically prowl toward him, even as his eyebrow slightly lifted.
“Uh huh. I also decided that you sounded like a much better way to pass the time and relax me than taking a bath.” She smiled a purely seductive grin, though he could still read the hesitancy in her eyes.
He took a steadying breath and nodded. Words seemed to fail him – and the wolf – at the moment.
Kade stepped toward her and brushed his knuckles against her cheek. The responding shiver brought his wolf back to attention.
“We still need to have our first kiss, Mel.”

New Audio Release: An Alpha’s Choice
Yay! Its a new audio book release! An Alpha’s Choice (Talon Pack Book 2) has been finished for a month and Audible FINALLY put it up! LOL So yay for Finn and Brynn in audio!

Brynn Brentwood has spent the whole of her life protecting the Talon Pack through terrors only she will ever know. She’s never asked for more in life other than to live to take her next breath and to ensure her family is safe. Regardless of her selfless wishes and the atrocities the former Alpha committed, she has always known that fate would provide for her as it had countless others. Fate is what has carried her through with one exception – upon meeting the one wolf who could be hers, he doesn’t feel their bond.
Finn Jamenson has been broken more than once, left beaten and half dead – and that was before he was an adult and heir of the Redwood Pack. When called upon to work with their allies, the Talons, he finds himself intrigued with a woman who his wolf doesn’t claim as his own. Though he knows there could be something there, he refuses to tempt himself with a wolf who could never be his when his own mate could waiting for him.
The world changed in a blink of time and now the two wolves must fight as one – ignoring the burning temptation between them – when their people are threatened. With one wrong move, their homes could be destroyed and it’s up to Finn and Brynn to save them all…if only they could save themselves.

Written in Ink Excerpt 12
Written in Ink is out in the wild! How about a new excerpt?

“It’s almost there,” he said softly. “Now, don’t forget to take care of yourself.” He looked over at Maya and Griffin. “And kick his ass if you need to,” he whispered, his beard tickling her ear.
She rolled her eyes then carefully slid her shirt over the plastic wrap he’d placed over her fresh ink. When she turned toward Maya’s station, it was to see Griffin’s eyes on her, his eyelids hooded as he raked his gaze down her. She wasn’t sure if that look was for her alone, or a mix of the pain and pleasure that came with his own ink as Maya worked on his shoulders.
“I only saw a glimpse, but it looks fucking phenomenal,” he said. He licked his lips. “See you tomorrow?” he asked, his voice hesitant.
She swallowed hard. She could do this. She could help him—then leave like she needed to. “Sounds good.” With that, she said her goodbyes and left the shop, a cool breeze of Colorado mountain air chilling her red cheeks. She’d miss the scent of fresh and clean most of all…
By the time she drove home and pulled into her driveway, she was ready for food and a long shower. She couldn’t soak in the tub thanks to her new ink, and she never liked to drink until her tattoo had healed a bit more since it thinned her blood.
When she stepped out of her car, her ever-present bag in her hand, she froze, the hair on the back of her neck rising. She swallowed hard then did her best to look casual as she searched her surroundings. Autumn might not have seen anyone, but it damn sure felt like someone was watching her.
She knew what that felt like.
Had felt it countless times before.
She quickly made her way into her home, her keys and pepper spray in her hands in case someone came at her. As soon as she closed the door, she set the deadbolt, hurried to the kitchen, grabbed the big butcher knife she knew damn well how to use, and searched the rest of her small house.
Alone.
She was safe.
At least for the moment.
