Avenger (finally) has a release date!

It’s all been leading to this for Caeden and Sophie Williams. This should be the happiest time of their life. They’re married and expecting a baby, but Travis is still out there, and they both know he won’t rest until he gets what he wants. The question is, what does he want? They’ll have to figure it out if they ever want to have their happily ever after.

The end is near.

Who will be left standing when it’s over?

Avenger News

For those of you who don’t follow me on facebook, I wanted to let you know that Avenger will NOT be coming out this month. I’ve had a lot going on since January and it really affected my writing time. Plus, writing the last book in a series isn’t easy…at all. I want to justice to Caeden and Sophie’s story and to YOU. I’m not going to rush myself to finish a book. I’m taking my time to give my characters, myself, and you the best book I can. I hope y’all can understand. It will definitely be out in March, probably the 2nd week. I’m doing my best to get it to you as soon as possible, while still being as happy as I can be with the story. I don’t have a teaser for you today, but I might have one later in the week.

Tempting Rowan Cover Reveal

It has come time to reveal the cover for Tempting Rowan and I’ve been dying the last few weeks to reveal this pretty!

I’m drowning in the numbness. It’s pulling me under and I can’t see the surface. It’s easier to pretend I can’t feel. And the longer you pretend, the easier it is to believe. But he wants to save me. Only he can’t. I have to save myself…and I don’t know if I want to.

Rowan Sinclair’s life has been anything but easy. With an alcoholic mother and a sleazy stepfather, it’s been her responsibility to raise her younger siblings. At twenty-one she’s chained to a life she doesn’t want, but sees no other alternative. After all, what would happen to her brother and sister if she were to leave?

Trenton Wentworth sees the pain behind Rowan’s eyes. He wants nothing more than to make it disappear. To hold her. To love her. Except Rowan keeps everyone at a safe distance. But if there’s anyone that can break down the walls she’s built around herself, it’s Trent. So she avoids him at all costs. But Trent isn’t one to be easily evaded. He’s stubborn and determined. He’ll save this girl even if it costs him everything.

Love, lies, and deception.

That’s the name of the game when you’re Tempting Rowan.

RELEASE DATE: Late April 2014

Add on Goodreads: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/20181492-tempting-rowan

I love this cover sooooo much. I love the expressions on their faces (THE EMOTION!), it’s so Trent and Row. And I love the…softness of this cover…like they’re breakable. Hmmm. I might just be more in love with Trent and Row then I was with Trace and Olivia and that’s saying something. I love being in Rowan’s head and I can’t wait for you guys to read their story. And you don’t need to have read Finding and Chasing Olivia to read this book. Trace and Olivia (as well as Avery and Luca) make an appearance in this book. So, I know you’re all clapping and squeeing about that.

EXCERPT (unedited and subject to change)

I bumbled towards the exit and in my haste one of my books slid from my arms and landed on the floor. I was tempted to leave it, glaring at the treacherous book, but a tan arm was already snaking out and picking it up. The person placed it back on the stack in my arms and I swallowed thickly, refusing to look up. But I felt his stare and I knew it was Trent standing before me. Slowly, I looked up and my hazel eyes connected with his. Looking at him was like taking a punch to the gut—leaving me breathless with a pain I couldn’t understand.

“Row,” he beamed, and the way he said my name made me squirm…and not in bad way. But oh how I wished I didn’t enjoy hearing my name leave his kissable lips.

I tucked a piece of light brown hair behind my ear. “Trenton,” I stared at his shoes. They were black motorcycle boots with heavy silver buckles. I wondered if they were real motorcycle boots or just designer ones.

“My face is up here,” he said in that deep husky voice with a slight chuckle.

I forced my head up and met his eyes. His dark hair was longer on top and shorter on the sides. His chin was dotted in a light dusting of stubble like he’d forgotten to shave this morning. Beneath his leather jacket he wore a navy t-shirt and his jeans looked well worn, even though I knew he could afford new ones.

“What are you doing here?” I stuttered, looking around for a means of escape. I needed to get away from him before I did something stupid…like give into the temptation of Trenton.

Brilliant question, Rowan. I scolded myself when I realized what I’d asked him. Sometimes, words just seemed to fly from my mouth without me thinking through what I was about to say. I really needed to work on that.

He chuckled, licking his lips. “It’s a library. There’s usually only one reason to be here.”

“Usually?” I questioned with a raised brow. What other reason would one have for coming to the library?

His smile widened. “Well,” he leaned towards me, his lips grazing the shell of my ear, “if you’re really quiet you can always have sex.” He pulled back, laughing at my wide-eyed expression. “I always did have a naughty librarian fantasy.” He looked me up and down and a blush stained my cheeks in what I was sure was an unflattering shade of red.

Avenger Teaser Tuesday

I turned the water on as hot as I could stand it and stripped off my clothes. The water warmed my skin and I let it wet my hair so I could lather it with shampoo. With the scent of my coconut shampoo lingering in the air, I began to feel dizzy. I leaned heavily against the glass shower door, my fingers gliding across the wet glass. Something wasn’t right.

I fell to my knees, pain zinging up my legs. Being a shifter, something like this shouldn’t be happening in the first place, let alone hurting. My stomach heaved and I felt like I needed to throw up but nothing came out of my stomach. I curled into the fetal position, the water falling down on my naked body.

I tried to get up, but I couldn’t get my limbs to move. I felt paralyzed.

“Caeden!” I called, sobbing. “Caeden!”

I heard Archie barking and scratching at the closed bathroom door.

My body heaved again as my stomach tried to empty.

The bathroom door burst open and through the steam fogging the shower door I saw Caeden’s form run towards me. He pulled the door open and reached inside to turn the water off. Soap still clung to my body.

“Sophie,” his voice cracked in fear.

“I can’t move,” my words were shaky as I shivered.

He grabbed a towel, swiftly drying my body before wrapping it around me as he pulled me into his arms. He was trying to be strong for me, but I saw the worry shimmering in his blue eyes. Something was wrong with me.

In the follow-up to Colleen Hoover’s #1 New York Times bestsellerHopeless, the charming and irresistible Dean Holder tells the passionate story that has melted thousands of hearts.

In Hopeless, Sky left no secret unearthed, no feeling unshared, and no memory forgotten, but Holder’s past remained a mystery.

Still haunted by the little girl he let walk away, Holder has spent his entire life searching for her in an attempt to finally rid himself of the crushing guilt he has felt for years. But he could not have anticipated that the moment they reconnect, even greater remorse would overwhelm him…

Sometimes in life, if we wish to move forward, we must first dig deep into our past and make amends. In Losing Hope, bestselling author Colleen Hoover reveals what was going on inside Holder’s head during all those hopeless moments—and whether he can gain the peace he desperately needs.

Colleen Hoover is the author of five New York Times bestselling novels. Her first series was published in 2012 and includes SLAMMED, POINT OF RETREAT and the companion novel THIS GIRL. Her second series, published in 2013, includes the #1 NYT’s bestseller HOPELESS and the companion novel, LOSING HOPE. She has released a free novella, FINDING CINDERELLA, as a thank you to her readers for their continued support. The novella is a companion to her Hopeless series, but can be read as a standalone.

Avenger Teaser Tuesday

Teaser Tuesday-Avenger Prologue and Chapter One

This is completely unedited so please ignore spelling and grammatical errors. This is subject to change in the final book. 

 

prologue.

 

I thought we had every reason to fight before.

But now, with the baby, fighting takes on a whole new meaning.

Fighting and winning, assures the baby’s safety.

And I’ll do anything to keep my baby safe.

Don’t mess with a mama wolf.

 

 

one.

“We’re having a baby,” Caeden repeated softly under his breath. He looked up at me and his eyes shimmered with tears. “I’m going to be a dad.” Caeden put his hand to my stomach, “There’s really a baby in there?”

I giggled at his words. “Yes, there’s really a baby in there.”

“My baby,” he whispered as his fingers caressed me through the thin fabric of my shirt.

“I’m going to be a grandma!” Both our mom’s exclaimed at the same time.

I looked at Caeden and laughed.

“Sweeeeet!” Bryce said, “I’m going to be the coolest Uncle in the history of Uncles!”

“You’re not going anywhere near my kid,” Caeden warned Bryce.

“Oh, come on!” Bryce threw his hands in the air. “Do you have to suck the fun out of everything?”

“When it involves my son or daughter, yeah.”

Bryce rolled his eyes and looked at me. “I guess you’ll have to play good cop with the kid. The poor baby isn’t even here yet and Mr. Controlling is already dictating who the kid plays with.”

I laughed. “That’s probably because you’d drop the baby on its head,” I joked.

“I would never!” Bryce feigned shock.

Amy chuckled and looked at her youngest son. “Well, there was that one time when you dropped Jake.”

Charlotte smacked Bryce’s arm. “You dropped my brother?”

“It was one time! One time! Why does everybody hold dumb stuff over my head!? I can be responsible…if I want to be.”

The couch dipped down beside me and I looked over to see Gram. I gulped.

“A baby?” She looked at me, tears shimmering in her brown eyes.

I nodded, tearing up as well.

“I told ya’ll no babies for at least five years,” her lower lip trembled. I don’t think I had ever seen Gram so worked up before.

Caeden squeezed my hand. “I know, Gram, it just happened,” I explained.

I expected a lengthy lecture on condoms and birth control, but she surprised me by wrapping her arms around me and rocking me back and forth.

“This is a blessing, Sophie. I know I said y’all should wait, and I meant that, but this will be the most loved baby on the planet. I’m going to shower it with gifts and love and kisses—I think I should move in!” She exclaimed, pulling away.

“I don’t think so, Gram. Moving in won’t be necessary. Caeden and I can handle this,” I put my hand against my flat stomach.

It still hadn’t sunk in yet that I was actually having a baby.

When I had missed my period I had chalked it up to everything going on with the pack, Travis getting away—yet again, and Logan dying. I had been under so much stress. But when it still didn’t come, I knew. I don’t know how, a mother’s intuition maybe? Whatever it was, I was suddenly very aware that Caeden’s child was growing inside me.

“You’re so young,” she said sadly, patting my cheek, “you haven’t even lived yet.”

“This is living, Gram,” I smiled.

She patted my cheek and studied me. She shook her head and said, “It doesn’t seem like you should be married with a baby on the way, Sophie. Just yesterday you were a little girl coming to visit me for the summer, begging for my cupcakes.”

“I know,” my voice cracked.

Suddenly, a sound like a honking horn filled the room. I turned in the direction of my dad, knowing that was the sound of him blowing his nose. “Dad?” I questioned.

“I’m fine,” he said and his voice shook. “You’re pregnant?”

Was I going to keep getting asked that question? I mean, come on people, I didn’t know how much more blunt I could be.

“Yeah, dad, I’m really pregnant,” I said quietly.

“My baby’s having a baby,” he cried and blew his nose again.

I had never, ever, in my eighteen years of life, seen my dad this emotional. My mom walked towards him and wrapped her arm around his shoulders. “He’ll be fine,” she mouthed at me before leading him from the family room.

I took a shaky breath and looked at the rest of the room. They all appeared to still be in shock.

Chris shook her head and seemed to come out of her stupor, letting out a high-pitched squeal that left my ears ringing. “You bitch! That’s what you wouldn’t tell me!”

“Guilty,” I shrugged. Did she really think I’d tell her something like this before Caeden knew? She might have been my best friend, but Caeden deserved to know before everyone else.

“A baby! Do you know what this means?!” She cried.

“Uh—no?” I asked, a bit afraid of what her reply would be.

“Baby clothes and baby shoes! Aaaah!”

“Babe,” Bentley pulled her against his side. “Calm down, and don’t go getting any ideas,” he chuckled.

“Oh please,” she rolled her eyes, “I don’t want a baby yet, event though we would have the cutest kid ever. Just look at us,” she smirked, pointing at herself and Bentley.

Bentley shook his head, his lips quirking up at the corners as he fought a smile.

Nolan came over and sat down beside Caeden, clapping him on the shoulder. “Cay-berry, you must have some really powerful sperm.”

“I’m leaving,” Gram said, “when the topic of sperm gets brought up, my butt’s outta here,” she scurried from the room and towards the kitchen.

“I’ll talk to you two in a bit,” Amy said, following her.

“You really know how to clear a room,” I told Nolan.

He shrugged. “I can’t help it that people don’t like it when bodily fluids get brought up. It’s a fact of life.”

“Amen,” Bryce said. I was beginning to wonder if Nolan and Bryce weren’t related…or at least from the same planet.

Caeden blushed and shook his head. “I—uh—actually I think I know when it happened…”

“What?” I snapped my head in his direction.

Rubbing his cheeks to hide the embarrassing redness, he coughed, “Um—in the shower, we didn’t—”

My eyes widened as realization hit me. “Oh my god. You’re right.” I cradled my face in my hands, shaking my head. “We are so dumb.”

“Dude,” Bentley snickered, “always wrap it up.”

“Shut up,” Caeden glared at his best friend. He took one of my hands in his and used the other to cup my cheek. “I don’t regret this, though. Believe that. I’m so incredibly happy. This is…amazing,” he lowered his hand from my face and pressed it against my stomach, even now there was still awe on his face.

I knew we were young, newly married, and with the threat of Travis still looming over our heads, now certainly wasn’t the best time for a baby, but like Caeden I was happy.

I hated to disturb Caeden, since he still had a hand pressed against my stomach, but I knew I really needed to find my dad.

“I’ll be right back,” I kissed his cheek as I stood.

It didn’t take me long to find my mom and dad. They were sitting on the steps and my mom was talking to him in hushed tones.

“Dad?” I questioned hesitantly, wringing my hands together.

He looked up at me and although he wasn’t crying anymore, his eyes were red-rimmed.

“Hey, baby girl,” he swallowed thickly. “I’m sorry for how I acted. I’m just…really surprised.”

“Well, I am married.” I cringed at my own words. Bad joke.

He tried to smile but failed. “I know…but us dads like to pretend our daughters are completely innocent.”

I closed my eyes and winced. “Can we please change the subject?”

My mom laughed, patted my dad on the shoulder, and said, “I’ll leave you two alone to talk.”

I watched her disappear into the kitchen and sat down on the stairs beside my dad.

“So…the kid isn’t going to call me grandpa, right? I’m too young to be grandpa,” he bumped my shoulder.

“What do you want the baby to call you?” I asked, smiling.

“I don’t know,” he took a deep breath. “What about PapPap?”

“Whatever you want, daddy,” I laughed, shaking my head. “You have about eight months to figure it out.”

He stared at me for a moment and tears shimmered in his eyes once more. “You’re not my little girl anymore. You’re all grown up and that makes me sad. Don’t get me wrong, I love Caeden, but I miss the days when I was your favorite guy.”

“Daddy,” I laid my head on his shoulder, “you’re still my favorite guy, you’re just tied with someone else now. I have plenty of love for the both of you. No matter what, you’re always going to be my dad. I might not be the little girl playing dress up and asking you to be my prince, but I am still Sophie.”

“I know,” he kissed the top of my head. “It’s hard on us parents to accept the fact that our children have to grow up and become adults themselves. Now,” he glanced at my stomach, “you’re going to get to experience that.”

“You know,” I smiled, “I’m going to need a lot of advice. I’ve never even changed a diaper.”

He chuckled. “You know this baby will be the most loved baby in the whole world. You have nothing to worry about, Soph. Between me, your mom, Gram, and Caeden’s mom, this baby will be spoiled rotten.”

“Do you think I can do this?” I hated voicing my concerns aloud, but I knew my dad was the only person who wouldn’t judge me for my fears.

“I know so,” he assured me. “You have nothing to worry about.”

“Thanks, dad, I needed to hear that.”

“Anytime,” he stood, holding out a hand to pull me up. “Let’s get this place cleaned up.”

With everyone’s help, we had the house clean in no time.

I hugged my mom, dad, and Gram, close as I said goodbye.

Soon, it was just me, Caeden, and Nolan left.

Nolan leaned by the front door, eyeing us. “Um…I’m going to head out for a while. I’ll see you two later,” he chuckled and before either of us could reply he was opening the door and gone from our sight.

I shook my head at Nolan’s strange behavior.

“I’m so tired,” I told Caeden as I started up the steps.

“Maybe you should take a hot bath,” he suggested as the dogs ran up beside us.

“Whoa,” I started to lose my balance when Murphy’s tail slammed into me.

Caeden’s hand shot out to steady me and keep me from crashing to the ground. “Are you okay?” He asked, concern lacing his voice.

“Yeah, fine, just  a bit dizzy,” I put a hand to my forehead and continued up the rest of the steps.

“Sophie,” he started, “we’re shifters…we have excelled balance you shouldn’t have fallen.”

“I’m tired,” I reasoned, opening our bedroom doors. Both dogs bound onto the bed.

“Still, that shouldn’t have been a factor.”

“What are you saying?” I turned to look at him with my hands on my hips.

“I don’t know,” he rubbed the back of his head. “Could the baby—”

I stopped him right there with a glare. “Don’t start, Caeden. I mean it. I love you, I do, but don’t you dare try to turn my pregnancy into an excuse to protect me from everything. I won’t let you do it.”

“I’m just concerned,” he followed me into the bathroom as I started a tub of hot water, adding bubble bath.

“And I understand that,” I turned around and took his face between my hands, “but you have to learn that you can’t worry about everything, and you can’t control me. I am my own person, Caeden.”

“I know,” he whispered.

“Then why is there still a wrinkle in your brow?”

“Because, you’re my mate, Soph. It’s my job to worry about you,” he explained.

“Every job has a vacation, let it go,” I kissed him.

“Nice try,” he smirked when I pulled away.

“It was worth a shot,” I laughed.

By the time I got in bed, I was exhausted and fell asleep as soon as my head hit the pillow. But sleep was short lived. It wasn’t long until the nightmare consumed me…

My body slammed into the tree and I felt my insides breaking apart. The mutant stalked towards me and smiled triumphantly. This was it. He was going to kill me.

Just when I prepared to close my eyes, a wolf slammed into the mutant. The wolf took out the mutant’s leg. When the wolf turned his head to check on me, the not quite dead mutant used that to his advantage. The mutant grabbed the wolf by the neck and twisted. It happened so fast—I counted two of my heartbeats and the wolf was dead.

Horrified, I stared into the dead green eyes of Logan.

This couldn’t be happening. It was my fault he was dead. I would have to live with the knowledge that Logan died protecting me for the rest of my life.

I sat straight up, sobbing, my clothes drenched in sweat.

“Sophie?” Caeden sat up, rubbing his eyes. “What’s wrong?”

“My fault,” I gasped breathlessly. “It’s my fault.”

“What are you talking about?” His thick brows furrowed together in confusion.

“L-L-Logan is dead…because of me,” I cried.

“Oh, Soph,” Caeden took my face between his hands. “That’s so not true.”

“It is,” I sobbed, letting him wrap me in his arms. My tears soaked his bare skin but he didn’t seem to mind.

“We can’t blame ourselves for things that are out of our control,” his fingers tangled in my hair.

“If I hadn’t got hurt—”

He pulled me away from his chest and pressed a finger against my lips. “But you did get hurt, Soph. Logan saved you, baby. He gave up his life so you could live yours, don’t ruin his gift by dwelling on the past. What is, is.”

“Aren’t you sad he’s gone?” I choked.

“God, of course I am. He’s been my friend since we were little, even though we weren’t close, he was still always there. I’ll miss him for the rest of my life. But without his sacrifice, I wouldn’t have my wife or my child,” he swallowed thickly. “Missing him is one thing, but being angry and stuck in the past questioning everything is an entirely different thing.” He brushed my hair behind my ear with a sweep on his warm fingers.

“I want to rip Travis apart for causing this,” I growled, my fingernails digging into Caeden’s skin.

“Shhh, my she-wolf,” he whispered.

“What? You don’t feel the same way?” I questioned, gazing up at him with wide eyes.

“Oh, I do,” his eyes narrowed and his jaw clenched, “I plan on avenging the deaths of everyone in my pack. I can promise you, Travis will experience tenfold what he dished out. He won’t know what’s hit him.”

***BLOGGERS the Tempting Rowan cover reveal sign up form is live!***

To answer some questions…

A lot of you are asking the same questions so I thought I’d answer them here…

What am I working on in 2014?

First up is Avenger. I’m working on it now, but I’ve been sick and suffering from really bad headaches. But I assure you this is my next book and I’m going to try my hardest to have it to you guys in February. Just be patient with me. It’s coming. Writing this book is going to be really hard for me. This will mean I’m ending 3 books series in a row, and Caeden and Sophie’s first book might have come out in 2012 but they’ve been with me WAY longer than that. I’m so sad to be finishing their story. Hold me.

Also, I’ve decided I’m no longer going to do 2 books full of extras. It’s just way too time consuming. (Rewriting scenes from another character’s POV takes forever) However, I will be writing a few more extras and releasing them on here like I have in the past. So, you’ll still get some extras.

Defier-Nolan’s book

This book is kind of up in the air at this point. I still  want to write it, but it’s not begging to be written. So, we’ll see if it happens. At this point, it’s not likely.

So…after Avenger is Trent’s book Tempting Rowan (cover reveal coming soon). I’m hoping to release this book in late April. If I keep getting sick/dealing with these horrible headaches that might get pushed to May.

After Tempting Rowan…I’m not telling.

I do have a book idea, one I’ve had for about 5 years that I finally feel like I could write. It would be a darker story and WAY different from my other stuff. I’m not 100% decided on it yet, so this is all I’m going to say for now.

After that…who knows?

In regards to the Trace + Olivia series…. Avery and Luca are NOT getting a book. I tried, guys. I tried really hard to give them a book and I just couldn’t do it. I don’t feel connected to Avery and Luca, besides their story really wrapped up in Chasing Olivia (read the Christmas special under the Finding Olivia extras tab for even more on Avery and Luca) I started a book for them and I couldn’t make it go. I’m incredibly flattered that so many of you want a book for them but I can’t force a book if it’s just not there. You will see them in Trent’s book though!

I hope this helps answer your questions!
