“I want to kiss you, siren. Will you let me?”
She cleared her suddenly, dry throat. “I thought you were Alpha, yet you’re asking like that.”
He cupped the back of her head and lowered his face so barely an inch sat between them. “I don’t ask anyone else. For you? You, I will always ask, always let have a choice. You’re my mate, Ariel. You’re mine.”
She said the only thing she could say right then; the only thing that made sense in a long line of confusion and pain. “Then kiss me.”
He growled softly, sending shivers down her spine. When he lowered his lips to hers, she broke. The softness, the tender care in which he moved made her shake, made her crave. With one hand still on his chest, she gripped his shirt, pulling him ever so closer. He kept one hand on the back of her head and used the other to cup her face, gently running his lips back and forth over hers. Since she sat on a stool and he stood between her legs, they were the perfect height for this.
She moaned against him, wanting more, and he didn’t let her want more for long. His tongue traced her lips, and she opened for him, letting her tongue brush along his. He growled, deepening the kiss. When he pushed closer, she moved her hand from his chest and wrapped both arms around his waist, pressing her breasts to his body. He kissed her, nibbled at her lips, and sucked on her tongue. Her body shook, her need for him an ache she’d never felt as deeply before with any other man.
Too soon, he pulled away, his breath coming in pants to match hers. He rested his forehead on hers once again, as she fought to catch up.
“Wow,” she whispered then shut her mouth.
He let out another rough chuckle, and kissed her forehead. “I like the sound of that wow.”

He nodded and cupped her chin. “What’s going on in that mind of yours?” His thumb stroked her skin, and she had to keep from turning in his hand. Seriously, what was wrong with her? She didn’t even know him.
But she wasn’t going to get out of her situation by living in her mind. Not voicing her thoughts—at least some of them—wouldn’t change the brand on her skin or collar around her neck.
“I don’t know what part of my reactions are me or my…”—she cleared her throat—“or the wolf. I haven’t shifted, so I have no idea if I’m really a shifter like you say, but I have all these extra senses, and I want do things I know I shouldn’t, and now my head hurts.” She closed her eyes and tried to wish herself back in time so she could say what she needed to say eloquently rather than the ramble she’d just done.
Holden let out a breath then lifted her chin. She opened her eyes cautiously, praying she wouldn’t see laughter in his eyes. She wasn’t sure she could deal with that right now.
“I know it’s a lot for you, Ariel. Hell, it’s a lot for any of us when we’re dealing with another half of us we’ve always had. I can tell you it’s been since we were first put in this compound that one of us has changed a human. So I think I almost forgot that it’s going to be ten times as worse for you. For that, I am sorry.”
She licked her lips, her pulse racing at his touch. They had so many more important things to talk about, yet all she could think about was how he would taste. There was truly something wrong with her.
His nostrils faired and his eyes darkened. “Well fuck, siren.”
“What?” she croaked.
“I can scent your need, darling, but I’m not going to do anything about it right now. Only because we need to talk first, and you need to find your way. Me pawing you won’t help that, but fuck, you make it hard.” He grinned. “You make me hard.”

New Release: Stolen and Forgiven
Are you ready for a brand new series written by Alexandra Ivy and Carrie Ann Ryan?
The Branded Packs Series book one, Stolen and Forgiven releases today July 14th.
Amazon | iBooks | Nook | Kobo | Google Play
Stolen
The first rule of being Alpha of the Canine Pack is to protect their secrets from the humans at all cost. One look at the dying human at his doorstep and Holden Carter knows he will have to break it. The broken woman with no hope at survival is his mate. When he forces the change on her to save her life, he not only sets forth motions that could risk both their lives, but the lives of every shifter in the world.
Ariel Sands grew up in a post-Verona infection world and under the care of the very humans she thought had cured the disease. When they betray her in the worst ways imaginable, she finds herself not only mated to the Alpha of a the very species she’s been taught to fear, but the focal point of a traitor and path to destruction for everyone’s way of life. It will take more than trust and a mating bond for Ariel and Holden to not only survive their enemies, but the burn of their own temptations.
Forgiven
Soren Slater is a Beta wolf who understands that duty to his Pack comes before his own needs. At a young age he takes a position as a liaison between his Pack and the other species of shifters. He never expected his enticing flirtations with Cora Wilder, a Tiger Princess, would encourage her cat to consider him a potential mate. He’s forced to walk away, choosing a partner among the wolves to try and strengthen his Pack.
Cora has no intention of forgiving or forgetting Soren’s rejection. Not even when the Packs are forced to live together and she discovers Soren’s former mate has died. But then, she’s kidnapped by the SAU and she has no choice but to work with Soren to escape. Together they must put the past behind them if they’re to survive the human’s evil plot.

Written in Ink: Blurb Reveal
Montgomery Ink Book 4 – Coming Oct 13th, 2015
There’s nothing worse for a writer than missing a deadline. For Griffin Montgomery, his failure to do what he loves comes at a blow. He didn’t understand how it was affecting his life until his well-meaning family intercedes. His sisters have hired him a new personal assistant and he’s outraged—that is, until he sees who it is.
Autumn Minor is light on her feet and a bare memory for most people she meets. She does her best to blend in everywhere she lives, even if it’s only for a short period of time. Making sure no one truly notices her is the only way she’s survived this long. Only when she meets Griffin and the rest of the Montgomerys, she’s afraid she won’t be able to let go when its time to run.
Though the two begin a tentative but explosive relationship, they know it can’t last forever. Neither of them are made for the long haul when it comes to love and romance. When the demons from Autumn’s past find her and put both their lives at risk, Griffin will stop at nothing to protect her. In the end, though, he’ll be the one who needs a second chance.

He had better control than any wolf here, but sometimes, the wolf needed to run.

“Now, let’s go see this horde of scary, dangerous wolves so I can get my flesh burned and hide from the humans who tried to kill me. Because that sounds like a fun way to spend the day.”
