Shared for Love by Nancy Corrigan

   Their bond is heaven on earth...but it could tear their pack apart. Ethan Jager is forced to hide behind a false identity as his pack mates suffer under Michael Tanner's rule. It's not his choice; he was born broken, without the primitive urge to breed driving him to pick a mate. While his wolf sleeps, his heart has chosen for him: Noah, widower and fellow pack dominant. Everything changes the day Hannah Kagan smiles at him. Lust awakens his wolf--a first. Hannah is beautiful, loyal, kind, everything an alpha male should want. And mating her will allow him to reclaim his pack. It will also leave his soul with a giant hole when he's forced to rip Noah out of his life. Hard choices are required of alpha males, but choosing which lover to let go is one Ethan refuses to make. The alternative will not only change the pack, but transform their world...if he can keep his mates alive long enough to claim them both. Warning: Contains an alpha male whose wolf doesn't like to share his toys, a dominant female who's nobody's plaything, and a beta male who doesn't roll over for anyone. Also: speed dating, werewolf style. Band-Aids required  “Are you done imagining what I would look like naked, or do you want me to stand here longer?” His rough voice zinged through her, setting her on edge. Not in a bad way. Awareness settled low. She ignored the instant arousal and yanked her gaze to his face. Green eyes framed by dark lashes snared her attention. She inhaled sharply. Never before had she seen a shifter with green eyes. The rare gene offered power, just as the combination of her black hair and blue eyes gifted her with strength. She let her gaze map his face as she had his body. Dark blond hair set off the deep emerald color of his eyes and framed a harsh face, but his shaggy locks softened his features. She doubted he’d styled it on purpose for the effect. The uneven ends gave the impression he’d hacked it off with scissors and didn’t give a shit if it looked nice or not. The shadow of his beard added to the image of indifference. The uneven growth covered his cheeks, chin, and neck. Her fingertips itched to touch his jaw and see if the stubble had reached the point of softness or if it would tickle her skin and make her squirm. She curled her fingers and fought to contain her runaway thoughts. They weren’t appropriate, especially after being in Ethan’s arms. She swore she could still smell him on her skin. The Tanner wolf chuckled, breaking the trance he’d cast over her. She tore her attention from the cleft in his chin to his eyes. “Hello, little Hannah Kagan. What brings you to this shithole town?” She took a step forward, anger replacing the lust. “Don’t ever call me little.” The growl to her voice shocked her. It took the Tanner wolf by surprise too. His smirk faded instantly, and his cocky stance eased. He tilted his head and studied her as if seeing her for the first time. Something flashed in his green eyes. Respect, maybe? She didn’t know. Didn’t care. She took another step. “And why I’m here is none of your fucking business.” Amazon US I Amazon UK I iBooks I Nook I Kobo I ARe Other Books in the Kagan Wolves series  Chance on Love: http://www.nancycorriganauthor.com/a-chance-on-love.html Bridged by Love: http://www.nancycorriganauthor.com/bridged-by-love.html  Other shifter books: set in the same world as the Kagan Wolves  Treasured Find: http://amzn.to/1PeuxoR Beautiful Mistake: http://amzn.to/1OXuX1E Favorite Obsession: http://amzn.to/1T1t0kN  A true romantic at heart, Nancy Corrigan is convinced there’s a knight in shining armor for every woman (or man), but you won’t find damsels in distress in her stories. She adores pairing alpha heroes with women strong enough to match them and bring them to their knees. She also enjoys flipping the traditional roles in romances because her motto is—love and people should never be forced to conform to anyone’s norm. She holds a degree in chemistry and has worked in research but now focuses on ensuring quality. She considers it the perfect outlet for her as she’s the first to admit she has some OCD tendencies. It carries over into her writing life too. While engrossed in a novel, she has a habit of forgetting to eat and sleep. Fortunately, she’s married to her own knight in shining armor who understands her oddities and loves her anyway. They reside in Pennsylvania with their three children, dog, snake and guinea pigs. Her other interests include tattoos, animals, classic cars and all things spooky and sexy.   Website I Newsletter I Pinterest I Facebook Friend I Facebook Page I More social media links Nancy loves to hear from her readers.

Amazon International All Links Catch up with the My Heart is Yours seriesSigns of a Quiet Heart(Book 1)FREE MAY 8th - 10th Amazon US | Amazon UK | Amazon AU    Amazon US | Amazon UK | Amazon AU Tell us a bit about yourself.I was born and raised in Fresh Meadows (Queens) New York. After a few years of teaching 4th and 7th grade math, I got my Master’s Degree in Deaf Education and spent the next 12 years teaching secondary math (and tap dance in the after-school theatre arts program) at the Lexington School for the Deaf. I moved to Los Angeles in 1994 and spent the following 18 years teaching math and ASL (American Sign Language) at the high school level.
What inspired you to write your first book?After retiring in 2012, I had a lot of free time. I contacted Becky Johnson at Hot Tree Editing and she took me on as a beta reader. After reading many fabulously hot romances, I thought that perhaps I would try it as well. I had written a screenplay in ’96 (20 copies are gathering dust in my garage), but now the self-publishing phenomenon has enabled the writer to take control of their own destiny and ‘just do it’, so I did!
How did you come up with the title of Lost & Found?As the result of a tragedy, my main character finds himself hopelessly lost … to his family, to himself, and to the hope of ever discovering love and happiness again. It’s the ultimate tale of redemption, forgiveness, and second chances.
Describe one of your main character in five words. Dark, damaged, angry, guilt-ridden, lonely. 
What was one of the most surprising things you learned in writing Lost & Found?My mother had a fear of dogs and did not like them, so unfortunately, I probably inherited that gene. There is a puppy in Lost & Found (rescued by my main character from a coyote attack) who I fell in love with … enabling me to look at dogs in a different light.
Have you ever done anything strange or weird in the name of research?Nothing I can think of, but that sounds like it could be either a lot of fun or extremely dangerous.
How long does it take you to write a book?Usually about a year. I don’t set deadlines and don’t force the writing process. I wait until my characters have something to say. (I just wish they would stop waking me up in the middle of the night!)
Can you share a little of your current work with us?I am currently working on a short story for an anthology. The main character has not dated in a few years and her best friend is attempting to cajole her into re-entering the ‘single scene’. ***See short excerpt below:
What is your work schedule like when you're writing?I don’t have a strict schedule. I prefer to get all promo stuff (Facebook/Twitter) done in the morning, then go to the gym and/or play golf. Afternoons are reserved for writing.
Do you have any writing rituals?Not really. I do keep small notebooks everywhere (gym bag, car, bedroom nightstand) so when an idea pops up, I write it down immediately.
What book are you reading now?Archer’s Voice by Mia Sheridan. A stunningly beautiful story!
Do you have anything specific that you want to say to your readers?My stories come from my heart … about everyday people facing the challenges of life and hopefully finding forgiveness, happiness, redemption, and ultimately love and acceptance along the way.

Random Questions:What’s in your fridge right now?Greek yogurt, fresh fruit, salmon, chicken, lots of vegetables, bottled water (can’t drink the tap water in LA), dark chocolate with almonds, freshly ground coffee, crafts beers and plenty of red wine!
What song do you sing at the top of your voice every time you hear it?Play It Again by Luke Bryan
Other than writing, what special or unusual talent(s) do you have?Fluent in ASL, mosaics, sports statistics, play a little guitar and keyboard.
Where did you last go on holiday?10 fabulous days in the UK!
If feral aliens attacked your house and they were zapping your home with their über super bombs, what five items would you save?Kindle, iPod, phone, my mother’s gold wedding band, photos … tough question!
If someone wrote a biography about you, what do you think the title should be?A 60s Hippie Who Never Grew Up!
*** (Excerpt ~Teri McGill)“And why would I need a Dustbuster when I have a brand new, state-of-the-art, top-of-the-line, Electrolux Ultra?” I scoffed at Gina, taking another sip of my Mojito.             “Because you’ve been living like a damn nun for way too long, so there’s gotta be a ton of cobwebs up there, girlfriend!” Gina’s boisterous squeals of laughter had me nervously scanning the bar for unwelcome attention.             “Ssh!” I cautioned, already embarrassed that she was aware of my dearth of recent sexual encounters, even though I had never explicitly divulged that information. Obviously if there had been any sexploits, Gina would already know about them. She was a bloodhound … could smell sexual afterglow a mile away. Note to self: fabricate a few imaginary hookups just to throw her off the track!            “You’re pushing thirty, woman, and you gotta put yourself out there before you —” “What? Turn into an old, wrinkled-up prune?” I huffed, giving her my most annoyed eye roll. Sometimes Gina over-stepped her ‘best friend’ status and it pissed me the hell off, even though I loved her like a sister.“No, before you expire!” Gina placated earnestly. “Wait, I didn’t mean it that way. I’m sorry, Holly. You know, before your expiration date. I mean, before you pass your prime. Don’t you want a father for your little girl? Maybe a sibling?”“Jamie has a daddy. He’s just … gone.” A heavy sigh whooshed out of my lungs. I had to bite my lip to stop the tears clogging my throat.

Glimpse Eternity By Ryan Jo Summers

Sweet Contemporary RomanceDate Published: 2/13/16


        Kasey Griffin is determined to prove a diagnosis of Multiple Sclerosis isn't going to ruin her life or define her expectations. She is dedicated to her pregnant sister, her pets and operating her bookstore, 'The Next Chapter'. She has everything she needs to have a full and satisfying life--the daily challenges of her condition notwithstanding. 
         Then hunky musician Ben Salem rolls into town. Ben's subtle charm quickly reminds Kasey she is more than a woman with a disease, she is also a woman with a heart. And Ben wants it.         Will Ben still desire her once he learns the terrible details of her condition?

EXCERPT
    Tears stung her eyes. “What's going to happen when Ben sees me like this?” What was going to happen when it got worse? Though today she was hard pressed to define ‘worse’. How much more was her life going to change? It was terrifying.     Abbie quietly waited, her soft blue eyes warm and reassuring. Abbie would always love her.    “He won't want me when I can't walk anymore.”    “Kase, we don't know for sure that will happen to you. New medications and treatments—”    “I remember Mom a little before she died,” Kasey said softly, her whisper halting Abbie. “Mostly I remember the wheels of her chair.” They had been as tall as her.    “Oh, honey,” Abbie took her hands into hers, searching her face. “Do you remember her at all before that?”    Kasey shook her head. “I barely remember what she looked like when she was...healthier. Before. Just hazy pictures.”    Abbie nodded, understanding. “And Dad stuck by her till the end. He stuck by us till the end too.” He raised two little girls for five years after his wife died until he himself was untimely killed in a car accident. “He loved her very much and he loved us.”    “I know,” Kasey agreed, wiping her nose on her sleeve. “But what if Ben isn't like Dad?” she whispered, dread clutched in her throat. What if Ben really was a drifter like he seemed?    Tears pricked Abbie's eyes. “Honey, only you would know the answer to that.”

YOUNG LADIES OF MYSTERY series by Stacy Juba

YOUNG LADIES OF MYSTERY seriesBooks for when Nancy Drew fans grow upby Stacy Juba

Twenty-Five Years Ago Today

Official genre of book: Cozy Mystery/Romantic Suspense

Should we dig for the truth when Pandora’s Box is a coffin of buried secrets? When obit writer and aspiring reporter Kris Langley investigates the 25-year-old unsolved murder of Diana Ferguson, a young artist obsessed with Greek mythology, not only does she fall in love with Diana's nephew, but she must also fight to stay off the obituary page herself.

“Kris? Kris?"

Her eyes snapped open, the scream ripping from her throat. She glanced around the dark room, shapes foreign, distorted by shadows. "No. I'm sorry Nicole ..."

"Kris? Kris?" Someone shook her shoulder. She gasped.

"Kris." Eric hugged her. Warm. He felt so warm. He stroked her hair, whispering in her ear. "It's okay. Everything's gonna be okay."

Reality rushed back to her. She hadn't lasted through the movie. She had turned off the television and slipped into unconsciousness. Eric's face fuzzed in and out of focus.

He switched on the lamp. "Want a glass of water?"

"No."

"What were you dreaming?"

"I don't remember."

"You screamed out ‘Nicole.’ You woke me up."

"I'm sorry."

"Don't be. Nicole was your cousin, right? Tell me about her." Eric rubbed her hair again, the gentle strokes calming her.

"We were the same age," Kris said. "Our families were close. We lived in the same neighborhood."

"That must've been fun."

"It was. Lots of fun." Tears spilled down her cheeks. Eric traced one with his fingertip.

"My mother told me your cousin was the girl who was killed by a neighbor," he said in a hushed voice. "I remember hearing about it when I was a kid. She went to a different school, but it still shook up all my friends. It was awful."

He wasn't wearing a shirt, just sweatpants. She must've scared the hell out of him.

"I’d rather not discuss it," Kris said.

"I want to help."

Kris felt the words surging to her throat, but she couldn't tell him. Not now. Not ever. "You are helping, just by being here. I don't want to be alone."

She pressed her lips to Eric's, first softly then more urgent. He responded without hesitation, crushing his mouth against hers. Kris dug her nails into his shoulders and the smooth contoured muscles of his chest. He gently laid her back and nibbled her ear, working a sensuous trail down her neck.

He glided down the zipper of her hooded sweatshirt and skimmed his thumb across her belly. She closed her eyes, arching as his hand slipped upward with agonizing slowness. Her stomach rose and fell as his fingers splayed over her heart. Kris's breathing quickened into a pant, every nerve ending igniting.

His eyes moved up to her, communicating desire. "I care about you, Kris. I was happy when you showed up tonight. I was afraid you didn't feel the same way about me."

"I do."

"Are you sure you want to do this?"

"Yes," she whispered. "Stop talking."

Kris reached behind his head and pulled him down. Her thoughts scattered as she banished Nicole's disapproving ghost to the dim recesses of her mind.

Sink or Swim

Official genre of book: Cozy Mystery/Romantic Suspense

Personal trainer Cassidy Novak garners popularity and fame while starring in a hit reality show. She catches the attention of an obsessive stalker that turns her well-ordered life topsy-turvy. As Cassidy's competitors disappear in a string of murders, she teams up with Zach Gallagher, the photographer tasked to record her personal moments for a local newspaper. Is Zach trustworthy? He shadows her as easily as the stalker. Cassidy hates the bizarre rules in this guessing game, but when her stalker forces a showdown, she plays to win.

Cassidy sat poised in her chair as former contestants filed onto the soundstage at WBC in New York. Together, the studio audience and television viewers had watched the recorded footage of her walking the plank. Gabriel would now interview the competitors from the inaugural season one final time.

More importantly, he would announce her prize. If it erased most of her debts, then it would at least make this whole embarrassing experience worthwhile. Cassidy’s heart kicked in her chest and sweat moistened her brow.

As one of her old teammates entered, her heart rate skyrocketed for a different reason. Josh Sanchioni slid into a bucket seat, carrying himself stiffer than normal in his sharp gray suit. Studio lights caught his sunbleached strawberry blonde waves, brightening the reddish gold tints.

Cassidy slipped her gaze to his leather shoes. If Josh hadn’t been engaged, they could have been an item. Instead, they’d been good friends until that one evening when the cameras were off and they almost kissed. They’d both realized their mistake and backed away. Things were strained until Josh walked the plank a week later.

Tonight, not only did Cassidy have to face Josh, she would probably meet his fiancée.

Her cheeks heating, Cassidy focused on the competitor beside Josh as a distraction. Adam Horton sat erect, hands folded in the lap of his olive green khakis. He wasn’t military, but he dressed like an Army wannabe. His reptilian eyes drilled into Cassidy, his angular face revealing the shape of bones underneath. A blond goatee darkened his pointy chin.

Cassidy shuddered involuntarily. Adam never said much, but he made her uncomfortable just the same.

Dark Before Dawn

  Official genre of book: Paranormal YA Suspense

If you could control minds...would you? It's hard enough for Dawn hiding that she's a teen psychic from her new classmates and new step-family, but it gets even tougher when she learns that ESP spells D-A-N-G-E-R. When Dawn gets involved with a fortuneteller mentor and two girls who share her mysterious talents, she finally belongs after years of being a misfit. When she learns her new friends may be tied to freak "accidents" in town, Dawn has an important choice to make - continue developing the talent that makes her special or challenge the only people who have ever accepted her.

Dawn gave an involuntary shudder as they drove past the beach. The gray tide pitched forward, swallowing the slick mirror of sand. She gazed down at her knuckles, fisted in her lap. Her mother and Jeff worshipped the ocean, but to her it was a mysterious monster foaming at the mouth.

She heard Ken's voice rambling about some girl, Renee, and how he planned to approach her at her locker. Renee had a boyfriend, but Ken had seen them fighting a couple times over the summer. Maybe if he started saying hi to her, he’d have a chance. After all, she’d smiled his way at the movies last weekend. At least, Ken was pretty sure the smile was meant for him. All his friends were getting hooked up and he wanted to find someone special.

Dawn turned away from the beach, surprised and a little flattered that Ken was confiding in her. "What’s she’s like?"

"Who?"

"Renee."

"You listened to me talk to Billy last night, didn't you?" he demanded. "I don't believe this. I don't get any privacy."

Hot numbness swept over Dawn’s face. Oh, no. Ken hadn’t been speaking aloud just now. She’d picked up on his thoughts. Every once in awhile, that happened and Dawn couldn’t control it. Sometimes she caught on and managed to avoid making a fool out of herself. Other times, she blurted out something dumb. You idiot, you’ve got to think before talking, Dawn chastised herself.

"What were you doing, standing outside the door?" Ken asked.

"I walked by your door when you were on the phone. Sorry, I didn’t mean to overhear."

"Yeah, I'll bet."

"I didn't do it on purpose." Dawn swallowed as he tightened his grip around the steering wheel. What an awful day, and it was only 7:15 a.m.

"Why’d you bring up Renee now?"

"I don’t know. I … I thought maybe I could help."

"I doubt it. Just forget it, okay?"

That was exactly what Dawn wanted to do.

"Sure." She let out her breath as Ken fixed his attention on the road.

This curse had haunted her since she was seven. Dawn never confided in anyone that she was psychic, but whenever she slipped, other kids shrank away from her. Like last year, with Samantha, a transfer student Dawn tutored in math. She and Samantha hit it off until Dawn asked why Sam’s father was in prison. Samantha's eyes narrowed and she asked how Dawn knew that. No one knew that. Soon, Samantha found a new best friend.

At least Ken had accepted her apology and his own explanation, even though it made her look nosy. Something made her turn her head. A weather-beaten cream cottage rose on a bluff, stunted and defiant against the broad swath of sky. Shades blocked the windows and silver wind chimes swayed from an overhang on the white-painted porch.

Iciness dripped over her body. A word detonated in her mind.

Evil.

HER KIND OF CRAZY by NINA LEVINE I instinctively reach out to grab something to hold on to in an effort to halt my fall. Silly really, because I'm stepping out of the taxi right in front of the hotel lobby doors and there is nothing to grab hold of.Well, generally there's not.Today, however, there is."I've got you," a man says as his hands slide under my arms and he stops my collapse.This all happens in a blur, but at the sound of his deep voice, my head snaps up so I can look at him.Oh. My.Mesmerising blue eyes capture mine for a moment before I drop my gaze to appreciate his sexy, bearded smile. In my experience, those kinds of lips promise many things that a girl like me doesn't have the time for. I'm all for fun sexy times, but it's the heartbreak a man like him promises that I don't have the time for. Lips don't lie.Neither do tattoos, and as my attention diverts from his lips to his neck and down to his arms, I see tattoo after tattoo.Uh-uh.Tattoos and I do not go together.I gather myself and look back up into his eyes. Steadying myself, I move out of his hold and say, "Thank you."He's stopped smiling, but his lips twitch and his eyes twinkle. "You're welcome."I narrow my gaze on him. Why is he looking at me like that? Like I amuse him. "Are you laughing at me?"He continues to watch me with that same lip-twitching gaze. "Do I look like I'm laughing?"Gripping my bags tighter, I square my shoulders. "No, but there's something going on in your mind and I'm sure it's some kind of laughter at my expense."He runs his fingers through his brown hair. He's got one of those haircuts where it's really short on the sides and the rest is styled into that sexy, tousled look—the kind of look that makes my belly flutter. His voice distracts me from thinking about his hair when he replies, "Let's just say I'm amused when a woman, who is clearly attracted to me, flinches at my tattoos. They're just ink on skin; they don't tell you about the kind of man I am underneath all that art.""I'm not attracted to you," I snap. I'm not. Really.His brows rise. "No? Could've fooled me."

Honor Bound by Laura Strickland

HONOR BOUND: A Highland Adventureby
Laura Strickland
Publisher: The Wild Rose PressGenre: Scottish Historical Romance



Following the disastrous defeat of the clans at Culloden, Scottish Chief’s son Diarmad Ramsay makes his dying father a promise. Diarmad will play the part of Bonny Prince Charlie in an effort to help the true Prince escape the Highlands. With only the fiery Mara MacIvor for guide and with danger on his heels, he must risk all for a Cause in which he no longer believes.

Mara MacIvor considers Ramsay a poor substitute for her beloved Prince. Ramsay may be one of the bonniest men she’s ever met and a braw sight with a sword in his hand, but his disillusionment makes a wide gulf between them. Pursued through the Highlands by Sassenachs and ruthless Highland renegades bent on claiming the price on Prince Charlie’s head, their physical attraction soon becomes a conflagration. But will they ever be bound by more than Diarmad’s vow of honor?


His body stiffened as she eased in beside him, but that did not dissuade her. The rain no longer touched her here and, aye, it did feel warmer.

Ramsay drew a breath even as the heat of his body wrapped around her. She could now catch the scent particular to him—spicy, fresh and rampantly male, with the tang of highland air caught in his hair and clothing. Would he push her away?

He sounded amused when he spoke, his voice vibrating deep in her ear. “I suppose this must satisfy some wish you have of lying with your Prince.”

It satisfied a wish, right enough, but had nothing to do with Charles Edward. Mara retorted, “My only intention is to lie out of the wet and grow warm. Will you complain about us sharing against the chill?”

“And about having my arms full of bonny lass? Nay.”

He thought her bonny. Or did he just tease as he had before? Mara ached to know, and desire rose to her head like a draught of her Da’s whiskey.

She slewed round in her allotted space until she faced him, her mouth just below his. “I am no’ thinking of the Prince,” she confessed, “but still how I might thank you properly for your braw gallantry.”

“Oh, aye?” Did he sound as breathless as she? “And what to your mind would make a proper thank-you?”

Without further words, she pressed her mouth to his.

Madeline Scott is unlucky in love. All she wants is a quiet place to heal, away from cheating, womanizing men. However, her life is far from peaceful once she stumbles across the body and witnesses someone fleeing the scene.

When troubling suspicions from his past surface, even fellow officers believe he's guilty. Madeline might be the only person who can clear his name, but first he has to win her trust.

The body count rises and no one is safe. The murderer makes it clear Madeline is next. Soon, Donovan's whole world is focused on protecting her and keeping himself out of prison. The more time he spends with her, the harder it is to fight his growing attraction. Since she's been burned by love, convincing Madeline he's interested in something more than hot sex may prove harder than keeping her alive.
