Thursday’s Sensual Tease: The Alpha and his Scribe
Hello! I thought I’d try something new on the blog. Twice a month–the second and forth Thursday–I’m going to post a sexy excerpt teaser from one of my books. I’m calling it Thursday’s Sensual Tease. Tee Hee. Like that? Yeah, me too.
Today I’m going to share a steamy scene from my upcoming release, Surrendering to the Alpha, which releases on September 10th!! Enjoy!
His chest tightened as he peered into her violet eye and let her words settle in his mind. She was his mate. He’d known that from the moment he found her in the forest. Yet to hear the words on her tongue made something inside him tighten and his leopard purr. Not wanting to think about anything else, he leaned in and brushed his lips against hers.
She gasped as their lips touched, but didn’t draw away. He took that as an invitation and hardened the kiss, sliding his tongue inside her mouth. Her tongue tangled with his, intensifying the need rushing through him.
Keegan slid one hand down her back then slipped it under her shirt. When his fingers touched her bare skin, he heard her sharp intake of breath. He also sensed the colliding emotions of fear, desire, and confusion building inside her.
Breaking the kiss, he drew back and peered into her gaze. “Are you okay?”
She looked down at her hands pressed against his chest and shook her head. “It’s too much. The touching. It’s too much right now.”
He nipped at her nose, drawing a smile from her. “Then I’ll have to make sure to desensitize you.”

A Mating Dance excerpt short #3
Hi and welcome back for another excerpt short for A Mating Dance.
What are excerpt shorts? Well they are excerpts from A Mating Dance that are about 250 words or under. These will be in order starting with the first line. So be sure to follow each day to get a peak at the triad. 
Excerpt short #3
Contrary to human myths, shifters were not sensitive to silver and didn’t explode into ash. Rogues, on the other hand, were sensitive to the metal. The addiction to blood and the kill, along with whatever drugs they’d used to create the mutant virus, had altered their DNA, giving them a weakness to silver.
Cam shot at one the creatures. He twisted to move out of the way, but he was too slow. The bullet hit him in the shoulder, knocking him off balance. A painful scream tore from his throat, and he fell to the ground. He rolled as if his body was on fire and he was trying to put out the flames. Maybe he was, only the silver burned from the inside.
A second later he let out a roar and pushed to his feet, his injured arm useless as the silver reacted to whatever altered their DNA to make them uglier and stronger than the rogues who made them. The half-man, half-wolf barreled toward her, fangs stretched past his jaw and dripping with saliva.
Nasty bastards.
She aimed and fired again, this time hitting him in the left thigh. Rage consumed the beast as he fell to the ground screaming, “Bitch!”
Standing over the mutant, she aimed and shot him in the head.
Two more shots cut through the moonlit forest, ending two more.
Some assassins, she snorted to herself.

Hi and welcome back for another excerpt short for A Mating Dance.

Excerpt short #2
One of the three was actually a half-puma, and female. Golden hair covered her body and her hands were extended claws. Cameron didn’t need to see her face clearly to know that the bone structure looked nothing like human or beast, but a creepy combo of the two. Sharp cheekbones stretched the skin over the enormous head, making it impossible to miss the prehistoric fangs jetting out of her jaws.
The mutants spread out to circle the rogues protectively in the middle of a group of large oaks. By the way they stood still, like imperial soldiers forbidden to move or speak, they hadn’t realized they’d just become the hunted.
Cameron smirked and sent out a mental message to Blaine and the other soldiers that accompanied them. “I have three mutants, two rogues.”
“I see them. Stay put until I give the go. I want to see what they do,” Blaine said.
She bit back a retort because, in the field, Blaine, as Pack Marshal, was the boss. Off duty, they were equals—mostly.
“Blaine, they’re getting spooked.” She palmed her Sig 9 mm and waited impatiently.
The mutants kept scanning the area as if they sensed them, but couldn’t see them. When the mutants appeared as though they were leaving the area, Blaine whistled, and everyone moved as one unit, drawing their guns with their special rogue-killing bullets that contained liquid silver.

A Mating Dance excerpt short #1
Hello! Happy Memorial Day! I hope everyone is having a beautiful and blessed day.
Today starts my excerpt shorts for A Mating Dance. What are excerpt shorts? Well they are excerpts from A Mating Dance that are about 250 words or under. These will be in order starting with the first line. So be sure to follow each day to get a peak at the triad.
Excerpt Short #1
Cameron Nickels crouched low to the forest ground, her eyes fixed on two rogue wolf shifters, members of outlawed Onyx Pack. She knew they were rogues by the Onyx tattoo on their forearms, and by their scent. Rogues had an unmistakable coppery scent of blood mixed with a hint of dirt and decay.
She shuttered and tried not to breath in the recant odor.
The rogues circled around the trees searching for whoever they’d chased into this section of the forest. Cameron, Blaine and several other enforcers trailed the rogues about a mile outside Ashwood Falls—the wolf/leopard Pack located high in the Smoky Mountains—which, as far as Cameron was concerned, was too fucking close to Pack territory.
The night was perfect for rogue killing—clear, slightly warm, and the full moon high in the sky provided just enough light filtering through the trees. It was almost the end of March, and the air was finally starting to feel like spring.
The warm breeze brought a rancid smell of rotting meat to her senses, much more fowl than the rogues. She growled and focused her preternatural vision and scanned the surrounding area. Three mutants—the Onyx Pack’s half-human, half-animal assassins—stepped out of the tree line behind their rogue masters. Even after fifteen years of being an enforcer, she had never gotten used to the sight of the mutants. They stood twice as tall as any shifter she’d ever seen. They were also frozen in mid-shift, eerily close to the some of the human myths of werewolves.

A not-so-telling fact about A Mating Dance
Are you getting excited about my upcoming release of A Mating Dance? I am! I’m also very nervous.
A Mating Dance is my first menage, and it’s a m/m/f erotic romance. Meaning that my males touch, among other things. 
Will I write another menage? You bet! Even though it was challenging at times, I had fun writing Blaine, Cameron, and Graham’s story. I love the way they came together and become a strong triad. But their story only begins in A Mating Dance. You will continue to see them through out the rest of the series.
Do you have any Ashwood Falls or A Mating Dance questions for me? I’ll try to answer questions without giving spoilers away.

Over three hundred years ago children were born to an elite group of witches that were unlike any of the other magical children.

The magical communities, called Covens, believed the children were gifts from the gods and called them The Divinities.
For decades the war between witches and demons seemed to diminish. Until recently. Two Divinities are missing. Three are dead, along with their spouses. The victims were among the Divinities appointed by Hecate to watch over the Sinew–the source of all magic.
Now it is up to the Divinities to keep the Sinew from the demons and protect magickin and the world from a fate far worse than anyone can imagine.
