Lachlan rubbed his thumb across Keira’s shoulder. “So we have an advantage—my mate’s brain.”
Keira shot him a glance while Iain laughed.
“This seems like the perfect moment for a quick kiss,” Lachlan said. “Too bad you won’t let me. Yet.” He gazed at her lips, partly enraptured and partly curious about what she would do.

#MySexySaturday : Lachlan & Keira’s Sexy #Romance
Below are 7 paragraphs from my novella Her Scottish Alpha which was released last week as part of the Highland Shifters bundle. Lachlan and Keira are on their way to war when this exchange takes place.
***
Lachlan climbed into the driver’s seat and started up the truck. Damned thing made a huge racket. It got slightly better when he slammed the door shut. “It won’t be quite as easy to talk as I’d hoped.”
“We’ll make do.”
He snagged her around the waist and pulled her hard against his side. “How about you just whisper in my ear?”
“Whispering won’t work so well.”
“True. You could lick my ear instead.”
She smacked his thigh. “I shouldn’t do anything that might cause you to drive off the road.”
“There is that.”

Vampires, Werewolves, Shifters, Oh My! Fall Into Romance H0P and #Giveaway
I love romance novels but I also love fantasy and urban fantasy. So I was very excited a few years ago when paranormal romance came into its own. First we got sexy vampires and then the werewolves started to come on the scene and now there are heroes of all sorts including a ton of shifters. (I even read a book with a hedgehog shifter (and totally enjoyed it).)
So I write paranormal romance, mostly to do with werewolves, and my last series has a touch of the medieval in it too. The third in that series, Her Scottish Alpha, (which can be read on its own) is in the newly released boxed set Highland Shifters. You can read an excerpt below.
In the meantime, I’m wondering–do you like paranormal romance? What’s your favorite kind of hero–vampires, werewolves, bear shifters, big cat shifters, zombies? Let us know in the comments. 
And while you’re at it, enter the two giveaways below and maybe click that giveaway button up top for some other giveaways I’ve got going right now.
Many thanks to www.hopswithheart.blogspot.com for hosting this hop!

In this excerpt, we’re in Keira’s point of view as she and Lachlan prepare to track Keira’s sister, who is missing.
People arrived at the gate and Lachlan waved them over. Four men, two women. Lachlan quickly introduced them. “Keira, this is Ross, Fergus, Niall, and Aileen.” He pointed at each one in turn, every one of them looking distinctly Scottish and a little bit wild. He pointed at the last two. “Colin is my tenth, and Mattie is his new mate from the States.” Lachlan slid his arm around Keira’s shoulder. “Wolves, meet my new mate, Keira.”
Did he have to introduce her that way? Not just letting everyone know this foolish idea of his but stripping her of her identity as though the only thing important about her was how she was related to him?
None of the wolves seemed to notice the slight nor her stiffness. They smiled and slapped Lachlan on his back, offering her congratulations. She shook hands with each one, anxious to get going but not ready to be rude. Not quite.
“Keira’s sister is missing,” Lachlan said loudly as the congratulations died down. “We’re to find her.” He quickly filled them in on just what they needed to know–Gill had chased after the dragon and they hadn’t seen her since. When he finished, he said. “Let’s get to it, then.”
Every single one of Lachlan’s wolves peeled off their shirt and dropped it to the ground. They didn’t even blink afterward, just went to work undoing their pants.
Keira turned to look at the car. The wolves were no different from the dragons, needing to strip before they changed. Still, she never got used to people disrobing in front of her. Then again, she didn’t see it often. “I thought we would be on two feet,” she said.
“You and I will. They can track better in wolf form. Have you anything of Gill’s they can scent?”
“There are clothes in the car.” It had been a while since they’d come across a washing machine so she had no doubt there were clothes of her sister’s that smelled of her. Maybe more than they wanted.
“Let’s go get them.” He put his hand on her neck and guided her forward.
Why did he have to keep touching her? Each time, an electric current ran through her, her skin warming, not just where he touched her, but everywhere. Damned wolf.
Keira jogged forward in order to break his hold on her. He let her go but kept up with her easily. When they reached the car, he stood too close as she popped the trunk and leaned into it to open up Gill’s luggage.
Next thing, Lachlan’s hand curled around her waist, his pelvis bumping hers as he put his hand on the floor of the trunk and leaned over her. She froze. His fingers massaged her stomach and moved steadily lower as his chest came to a rest against her back. “I canna take this much longer, lass. Seeing you lean over like that…” His teeth nipped at her neck. “It’s a temptation.”
Keira struggled to catch her breath. Being held and touched by a man she barely knew shouldn’t affect her like this. Yet she had to fight against the urge to press into him. It felt more than good. It felt right.
“Say something,” his sexy voice whispered as his fingers worked their way closer and closer to her pussy.
She didn’t want him to stop. And she couldn’t possibly tell him that. “Gillian.” Saying her sister’s name helped steel her against the sensations cascading through her.
Lachlan groaned and buried his face deeper in her neck. “We’ll find your sister, lass, but it’s so hard to think of it. I just want to take you to my room and make love to you ‘til you can’t remember any name but mine. And then I’ll mark ye.” He growled the last sentence and the sound skittered over her body.

Top Off Tuesday: The Highlander’s Stolen Heart by Donna Fletcher
I’ve been reading a lot of Scottish romances lately as I wrote Her Kilted Wolf and Her Scottish Alpha (which is coming out in a couple of days in the Highland Shifters bundle) and so I have a yummy Scottish romance cover for you today.
From USA Today Bestselling author Donna Fletcher comes the first book in the Macinnes Sisters trilogy.
The three Macinnes sisters are well-known throughout the Highlands. Heather, the eldest, is known for her beauty and kindness. Patience, the middle sister, while attractive is known for her warrior skills. Emma, the youngest is plain-featured, her passion is knowledge. There is nothing the sisters will not do for each other and their love and loyalty is tested when Heather is abducted.
Emma must ride alone through a rainstorm to reach the MacClennan keep and fetch the mighty warrior Rogan MacClennan, Heather’s intended. Nothing must delay her. Her sister’s life depends on it. Emma is not only shocked by the warrior’s handsome features, but by his refusal to leave immediately once he learns that Heather has been abducted. His excuse is the raging storm, but Emma will not bow to the mighty warrior’s dictates. She sneaks off to return to the injured Macinnes warriors and to search for Heather.
Rogan MacClennan cannot believe the audacity of the youngest Macinnes sister to call him a coward, and then sneak off in nothing more than her nightdress. When he gets his hands on her, he intends to see her sent home to her father. Then he will rescue his intended without any interference from Emma.
Thrown together, the unlikely pair must face more trials and tribulations than they ever imagined possible. They also must face something both are trying desperately to ignore and deny… that they are falling in love.
Emma cannot betray her sister and Rogan must do his duty to his clan. They have no future together… or do they?

Fairy Tale Hop: Beauty and the Beast, or A Werewolf and His Mate
Love…All things Fairy Tale? We’re celebrating them in all their forms…originals, adaptations, twists and retellings. Sweet or steamy or a little bit twisted! Hop through all the blogs for giveaways at each stop! And don’t forget to enter for the $100 Amazon gift card grand prize drawing too!
♥
While I was writing my latest book, Her Forbidden Alpha, I suddenly realized that without intending it, I was writing a new version of Beauty and the Beast. There are some differences, sure, especially since I hadn’t set out to write an adaptation of that fairy tale. But the basics were there–the young woman who ends up trapped in a castle with a beast (in this case, a totally hot werewolf) through her father’s transgressions. The beast’s need for the beauty to love him. The crowd storming the castle. I could go on, but I’m getting dangerously close to giving away too much.
I’ve always loved the story of Beauty and the Beast, both in stories and on screen. There’s the Disney version, of course. I also particularly liked the Beauty and the Beast TV series on at the end of the 1980′s. Are there other Beauty and the Beast tellings or retellings that stick out in your mind?
To celebrate Beauty and the Beast, I’m giving away copies of Her Forbidden Alpha to two lucky winners. You can enter below.
In the meantime, I hope you enjoy this excerpt from my upcoming release, Her Scottish Alpha, which will be part of the Highland Shifters bundle coming out this week.
♥
Lachlan didn’t dare take his hands off his mate’s shoulders. Even now, she eyed the door, no doubt measuring how far away it was and how long it would take her to reach it. He could catch her easily but chasing his mate around the Great Hall didn’t seem like the best way to woo her.
Neither did pinning her in place.
Maybe he’d give them a break. A change of topic. Maybe then she’d relax a little. “What do you and your sister want with Damon?”
Her body stiffened even further. “None of your business.”
Lachlan leaned closer to her, almost touching his forehead to hers as her eyes grew wide. “Everything about you is my business.”
“You can stake a claim all you want, wolf. That doesn’t mean I’m going to accept this story that I’m your mate. Never before in all the history of the dragon slayers is there mention of a single one of them being a werewolf’s mate. It just doesn’t happen.”
“Never? In all your history?” Normally he’d see such declarations as boasting but the tone of her voice sounded different. Less cocky and more confident.
“Never.” After a pause, she said, “I’m the historian. I know.”
His estimation of her went up a notch. Not just tough, strong and hot enough to singe his eyebrows off but smart as well. Fate had blessed him. He let his gaze travel down her lithe form, noting the muscle as well as the occasional feminine curve. His.
“Hey,” she said. “I’m up here.”
Their eyes met. “You’re my mate. I’ll soon know every inch of you intimately. Taking a little look now won’t hurt anything.”
“I’m not your mate.”
Lachlan’s hands tightened on her shoulders, his lip drawing back to show fang. “You’re my mate and one way or another, I’m keeping you.”

Sneak Peek Sunday – Her Scottish Alpha
For this week’s Sneak Peek Sunday, I’m posting six paragraphs from Her Scottish Alpha, which will be released as part of the Highland Shifters bundle in just a few short days! Hope you enjoy.
***
Lachlan started walking again, still carrying Keira. “Do you know who I am?”
“A werewolf.” Any fool could tell that. He was in the Stronghold, after all.
“That’s what I am, love. But who am I?” He stopped by the table and set her on her feet facing him, his hands tight on her shoulders.
Keira got her first good look at him. Besides being built like a tank, he had wavy blond hair that brushed his shoulders and steady blue eyes. “I don’t know.”
“You should. You broke into my home. I’m Lachlan MacPherson, Alpha of Scotland and all of the UK.”
Bloody hell. The gods-damned Alpha of everything, strongest wolf in the land. And he thought she was his mate.

This is my first time doing My Sexy Saturday. I’m happy to join the club! Below are 7 paragraphs from my novella Her Scottish Alpha which will be released next week as part of the Highland Shifters bundle. In this world (as in many others) werewolves have a superior sense of smell–and this SUV is full of werewolves.
***
Lachlan squeezed her leg again causing a rush of desire to flow through her.
“You shouldn’t keep doing that.” She spoke so softly she almost couldn’t hear herself. “This SUV has a lot of prying noses too.”
His brow crinkled. She knew the moment he got it because he broke out in a grin and got a wicked twinkle in his eyes. “We should have dinner in our room tonight.”
“We’re talking about the war over dinner.” She turned his hand over and placed hers in it–to keep him from squeezing her leg again. And that was the only reason.
“We can meet about the war and then get dinner.” He threaded his fingers through hers.
“The meeting could take a while.”
“We’ll make sure it doesn’t.” He lifted their joined hands and placed a kiss on the back of hers. “I can talk verra fast if I have to.”
