TEASER:
Elise set her mug down on the table andstood, curling her bare toes against the cold wood. She was going to getdressed, grab her camera, and try to capture the essence of the morning. She’dtaken one step toward the door when she realized she wasn’t alone.
He was out there.
She always knew when Mikhail was close by.Every cell in her body hummed in a way that made her both hot anduncomfortable. She seriously thought about pretending she didn’t know he wasthere, but that smacked of weakness. And after so many years of beingbrowbeaten by her former mate, she was through being a coward.
“Come out,” she demanded. Heart poundingand hands damp, she waited. Her breath quickened when he coalesced out of themorning mist. He was a big and powerfully built wolf. His fur was dark brownwith glints of red and some streaks of gray on the top of his head. His greeneyes shone with intelligence and something else she really didn’t want toacknowledge.

TUESDAY TEASER--SAMAEL
Here's a teaser from SAMAEL, the first book in the Blackwell Brothers' Redmption series.
TEASER:
She cranked the radio up to drown out her thoughts. “Paint it Black” by the Rolling Stones poured out of the speakers as she rolled around a curve. A tall, dark-haired man stood off to the side of the road with a leather jacket slung over one broad shoulder. An icy chill raced down her spine. Goose bumps rose on her bare arms.
Samael
Blackwell Brothers’ Redemption, Book 1
Love her. Protect her. Reap her soul.
Samael Blackwell is the son of Death—and he’s officially out of chances. After centuries of reaping souls with zero regard for the rules, his father sends him to the dead-end town of Redemption. With only a few hundred bucks and the clothes on his back, Sam has one last shot to prove he can do the job right: reap with compassion, or lose everything.
It should’ve been easy. Find the soul. Finish the job. Walk away.
Then he meets Adrianne Sharp.
She’s strong, guarded, and hiding from a past that refuses to stay buried. The connection between them is instant—and impossible. Because Adrianne isn’t just anyone. She’s his assignment.
And her soul’s on the clock.
To win back his old life, all Sam has to do is watch her die. But what if the cost of redemption…is her?
He was sent to end her story. But she just might rewrite his.

THROWBACK THURSDAY---HUNTER AVENGED
The throwback book this week is HUNTER AVENGED, the final book in the Forgotten Brotherhood series.
Hunter Avenged
ForgottenBrotherhood Book 6
It’s taken Vikinghunter Sven Knutson six frustrating months to find her. To track down the angelresponsible for compromising the Forgotten Brotherhood and waking the drakon.She may be clever. Resourceful. But no one ever gets away from Sven. Ever.
All Rivka longed for as an angel was a chance to serve on Earth and helphumans. Instead, it all went impossibly, horribly wrong, and she still doesn’tunderstand how or even why. All she knows is that she’s on therun—not only from Heaven’s dangerous elite guard, but also from theBrotherhood, who want answers.
She might just have to trust the immortal Viking whose icy blue eyes make herfeel almost wickedly human. Because someone wants Rivka dead and theBrotherhood eliminated. Someone powerful enough to take on the most dangerousassassins who have ever lived. Someone who could unleash the fury of bothHeaven and Hell…and Rivka is the key.
EXCERPT:
She’d made her choice, and a smart man took what giftscame his way and was grateful.
Didshe really understand what he’d meant earlier? He wasn’t fully sure himself,only that there was a certainty inside him that if he made love to her, he’dnever let her go.
Heaven and the other angels be damned. They didn’tneed her, but he did. Among them, she was an outcast. With him, she’d alwayscome first.
Rivka had started out as a mission—track her down andbring her to Maccus. The safety of the Brotherhood was at stake. His honor,indeed his place among them, hung in the balance. Failure wasn’t an option.She’d been a means to an end, nothing more. Somewhere along the way, everythinghad changed. Her courage, ingenuity, intellect, and determination drew hisadmiration. Physically, she stoked primal urges he’d never experienced before.
He’d always prided himself on his intellect, as wellas his strength. Logically, it was too soon to care this deeply about her. Foronly the second time in his life, he tossed reason aside and listened to hisheart. The only other time he’d done it, he’d ended up in a battle with thegods that had almost ended in disaster.
A chill snaked down his spine.
It had all turned out well in the end and would thistime. He didn’t need faith. Not when he had a strong mind and body and enoughdetermination for a dozen immortal warriors.

THROWBACK THURSDAY---BJORN CURSED
This Thursday we're throwing back to BJORN CURSED, book four of the Forgotten Brotherhood series.
Forgotten Brotherhood, Book 4
After the slaughter of hiswife and family centuries ago, tortured and broken, Bjorn was cursed as thefirst Norse werewolf. With the help of the Forgotten Brotherhood, Bjorn hasfinally been able to control the beast within. But Lucifer is still looking tocreate chaos for Forgotten Brotherhood. Only this time, he’s taken a woman fromthe Norse afterlife…and placed her right in the path of Bjorn Knutson.
Now Odin himself has taskedBjorn with killing the woman who escaped. Failure is not an option. But when herescues a human woman in the night, Bjorn is stunned to find himself looking onupon the face of the woman who’s haunted his dreams and nightmares forcenturies. His long-dead wife. His love. His Anja. And she is the onepulled from the afterlife—and he’s been sent to kill.
Killing her will destroy him.And letting her go will unleash the fury of Odin upon them both…
EXCERPT:
“Bjorn?”Her voice quavered. Her uncertainty was apparent, but likely only to him.
Itwas more effective than a fist to the jaw to snap him back to reality. Hewilled his wolf into submission. With his hands on his hips, he sucked air intohis lungs, driving back the fury that threatened to erupt.
Butseeing blood on her, knowing she’d had to defend herself, had brought out thekiller inside.
Andnow she knew.
Hewas no longer the man she’d married. He was a monster. One he’d created withhis own arrogance. He was no different than the men hunting her. Actually, hewas worse because he was the cause of it all.
If hewas a better man, he’d leave her with Asher for protection while he figured outa way to deal with the threat facing them. His wolf growled, enraged that he’deven consider such a thing. Both man and beast were in agreement. For better orworse, she belonged with him. No one would do more to keep her safe.

TEASER TUESDAY---BURNING ASH
This week's teaser if from BURNING ASH, the third book in the Forgotten Brotherhood series.
TEASER:
He sauntered out of the dark and fully into thecandlelight. The flames flickered over his face, exposing a strong jaw,straight nose, and high forehead. His blond hair was pulled back in a shorttail at his nape. His skin was olive-toned or tanned, hard to say. Piercingbrown eyes stared at her.
Good looking was much to tame. Handsome didn’t fiteither. There was something dangerous and predatory lurking beneath thesurface. Primal. Compelling. Yeah, that was it.
It was time for her to leave.
BurningAsh
ForgottenBrotherhood, Book 3

THROWBACK THURSDAY---ARCTIC BITE
Today's THROWBACK THURSDAY feature is ACTIC BITE, the second book in the Forgotten Brotherhood series.
I LOVE Alexei so much!
ArcticBite
ForgottenBrotherhood, Book 2
When Alexei Medvedev joinedthe Forgotten Brotherhood—a group of paranormals hired to assassinate otherparanormals—he knew it wouldn’t be a cake walk. But his next target is one ofDeath’s own Reapers gone rogue. For the first time since he started this gig,“damn hard to kill” feels damn near impossible.
Everyone in the Brotherhoodknows the first rule: don’t fall for your target. But when Alexei tracksCassie Dobbs to a remote bar in small-town Alaska, he finds the hot-as-hellReaper casually serving drinks as if she doesn’t have a bounty on herhead from Death himself. And now he’s dangerously intrigued.
But Alexei soon has biggerproblems to face than an unexpected attraction. They only send assassins afterthose who deserve to die—or so he’s been told. Now that he’s met Cassie, he’snot so sure.
Because what if everythinghe’s been told is a lie...and the person he’s been sent to kill is the only onewho knows the truth?
EXCERPT:
Just her luck. She finally was attracted to a guy andhe was probably here to take her home. Or maybe exterminate her. Did he evenknow what she was? Or was this nothing more than her overactive imagination?Maybe he was socially awkward. No crime in that.
She swallowed back a scream of frustration. She wasmaking herself crazy with all this speculation.
He remained silent, but he did finally raise his head.There was something in his expression she couldn’t quite distinguish, and itgave her pause. Was it regret? Pity?
Anger bubbled up inside her. Swallowing it back took areal effort, but she managed. With anger would come a burst of energy. Thatcould alert one of her kind to her presence here.
“Just who the hell are you?” she demanded.
He frowned and tilted his head to one side, seeminghonestly bewildered by her question. “Alexei Medvedev.”
It was tempting to let it go, but she couldn’t affordto. She leaned closer until their foreheads were almost touching. “Let merephrase the question. What are you?” If she was wrong about him, he’d beconfused by her question. If she could catch him off guard, she might get anhonest reaction.
He released a chuff, the sound more animalistic thanhuman.
It all suddenly made sense—his big size, his enormousappetite, his ability to easily handle whiskey like it was water. The dark,musky scent that clung to his skin.
She checked to make sure no one else could hear. Foronce, the jukebox was quiet and there was only the hum of the television overthe bar.
“You’re a shifter of some kind, aren’t you?” She hadno idea just what she was dealing with, but having one of his kind show up inAlaska and come to her place of work was no coincidence.
Without waiting for an answer, she demanded, “Why areyou here?”
He straightened––his great size more intimidatingthan it had been up until this very moment. Without the haze of sexualattraction blinding her, it was easy to see what was glaringly obvious, to putall the clues together.
Ignorance might be bliss, but it could also be herundoing. Too bad she hadn’t seduced him last night. That ship had sailed. Andthat saddened her even as dread made her stomach clench.
He stared right at her, his icy-blue eyes filled with determination.
“I’m here for you.”
