Bad Kitty (Southern Shifters) – Eliza Gayle

After losing everything, Kitty clings to what’s left of her pride as she’s forced into the neutral zone and straight into danger.

Call of the Sea (Call of the Lycan Book 1) – Michelle M. Pillow

Ceana is doomed to spend her eternity in the ocean as a mermaid. Her only relief is on a full moon, when she becomes human and must find shore. Brief passion is all she has and she’s willing to take what she can get—especially if it’s with an intriguing lycan who’s untamed nature just might be her salvation.

Blaze of Glory (Prospect Springs Shifters Book 1) – Mandy M. Roth

Sheriff Jonathan MacSweeny is in charge of keeping the peace in Prospect Springs. It’s hard to survive in the New Old West and it’s even harder when your area doesn’t exactly embrace supernaturals–and you howl at the moon. When he learns his childhood sweetheart is to be married off to the town sleazebag, he goes in guns blazing to see to it she’s his.

Wolf Signs (Granite Lake Wolves Book 1) – Vivian Arend

Robyn has never let her deafness slow her down—but she didn’t expect her wilderness adventure to include bumping into the sexiest hunk-of-a-man she’s ever met in her life. Keil was looking a quiet back country retreat before challenging to become pack Alpha. He wasn’t planning on meeting his mate, or discovering she’s unaware of wolf shifters or her own untapped heritage.

Hero (Wolves of Angels Rest Book 1) Elsa Jade

Maddie Joplin fled from Angels Rest to escape the searing memory of her one night in the arms of the local golden boy, but now she’s back to free herself from wishes that can’t come true. Though he never forgot the curvy, mouthy Maddie, Kane Villalobos is destined to become alpha of the Mesa Diablo wolf pack. Keeping her safe—from himself and the perils of his shifter world—might mean letting her go forever.

Jace (Wolves of the Rising Sun Book 1) – Kenzie Cox

Jace Riveaux has wanted her since the first moment she stepped into his bayou bar three years ago. And now she’s back and ready for the taking. Only his world is dangerous, he has secrets, and trust is hard to come by…especially when all signs point to her being aligned with his enemy.

Iron (Blue Collar Wolves Book 1) – Ronin Winters

Not many wolves have known their true mate since first grade, let alone spent years fighting every instinct to claim them, but Iron has his reasons. Sexy, sophisticated Doctor Isabella Santiago is not meant for pack life, and he’s protecting both of them. Bella, though, has her own idea about what’s best for her, and she’s done letting her werewolf dictate their relationship, because while Iron may never break, she’s going to do everything to make him bend.

Brindle (Winter Vallye Wolves Book 1) – V. Vaughn

The night of senior prom Katie made the life-altering decision to become a werewolf, but as soon as she had she regretted it. Running off to college to leave her mistake behind seemed like a good idea —- until mating season came. Now she needs Brindle, but he comes with a price.

New Release Excerpt! Alpha Beast #Southern Shifters

He’s got an obsession and a beast he can’t control. A deadly combination waiting to strike. If he has to choose between the good of the clan and his would-be mate, the clan doesn’t stand a chance.

 

Excerpt:

Marcy walked the length of the long hallway that led to the nurse’s lounge, looking behind her every few seconds as she did. Sienna’s call had obviously affected her more than she thought. Who in the world from their past would ever threaten them? She’d tried to ask her best friend that very question when the line had gone dead. Her cell phone had died and getting to the break room and her charger had taken time.

The agitation that plagued her the last couple of months increased as she slipped inside the door. Ever since waking up one Sunday afternoon unable to remember anything beyond the hospital on Friday, her life had changed.

Easy going before, she now felt stressed and no amount of meditation, relaxation and even that bullshit yoga she’d tried had helped. Even the job got to her more often than before. Which was never a good thing when she spent her life dealing with crazed women having babies.

The most appalling change in her mind though, came outside the hospital and in the form of sex. Or more specifically no sex. Two months without and she was climbing the walls. She needed something bad and so far not a single one of her regular friends with benefits held the slightest appeal. In fact, the two times she’d even tried to be near any of them had physically made her stomach hurt.

At this point she was beginning to wonder if these were odd symptoms for some rare disease she wasn’t familiar with. She’d tried to search for some cause on the internet, but that never turns out good. You can go from having a mild headache to half dead in the time it takes for the next page to load.

In the break room, she rushed for her locker and pulled out her phone charger. Fumbling with the cord, she dropped it twice before she got it plugged in next to the microwave. She’d have to give it several minutes to work before the phone would actually turn on. Which only gave her more time to think about everything wrong with her life these days.

She really missed her sex life. The irritability and lack of patience could all easily be attributed to the fact that her only orgasms these days were self-given and they lacked a certain oomph from before.

She sighed. Who was she kidding? Masturbating may be normal and healthy, but after a while it’s a poor substitute for a real partner.

At that thought an image of a man popped into her head and she leaned against the counter to keep from falling over. There was one man who’d caught her eye. Someone she didn’t know, but had seen him a few too many times around the hospital and maybe once near her apartment. The word stalker had flitted through her mind after that. 
And still his appearance flustered her. Although he was the farthest thing from her type. She usually went for the lanky ones. Good looking, smart, as focused on their work as she was and most importantly were NOT looking for a romantic relationship. Mostly people she knew from work.

Mr. Mysterious was almost none of those things. Lanky? No. That one was built like a tank. Even from a safe distance she could make out legs the size of tree trunks and arms and shoulders that would barely fit in a doorway. He was thick with muscle. That was easy enough to see from the snug denim and dark t-shirts that barely contained them.

Good looking? Yes, she’d definitely give him that. Dark hair just a little too long, a chiseled jaw that drew the eye and bedroom eyes that seemed to watch her every move as she walked by.

Which of course led to smart. Without knowing him she had to venture maybe not. If he was some sort of crazy stalker following her around town then he most definitely would not be called smart.

The other attributes she knew nothing about. He rode a big bike and his arms and neck were covered in delicious tattoos. Marcy’s brain stuttered. Had she really just thought his tattoos were delicious?

She took a deep breath and released it nice and slow. Clearly her brain was fried. Had the months of long shifts at work finally taken a toll on her body? What else could explain the craziness going on with her. Loss of memory, irritability and loss of sex drive to her usual companions. What the hell kind of symptom was that? There was no such thing as a selective loss of sexual attraction.

She reached for the carafe of coffee she hoped had been made today and poured the remains into a styrofoam coffee cup. She then proceeded over to the microwave to heat it up. As far as she was concerned there was only one way to drink this stuff and that was straight up black and hot as hell.

Her phone chirped to life and she snagged it off the counter.

Finally.

She hit the recent calls and depressed Sienna’s name to bring up the details and call her back. The call connected and began to ring. The microwave beeped at the same time a string of notifications came through on her phone. She looked at the screen to see they were all messages from Sienna. On the fifth live ring the call went to voicemail and Marcy huffed out a breath.

“You couldn’t wait twenty fucking minutes for me to get to my charger? You need to call me back ASAP. I need way more details than some vague person from the past is making death threats. You’re freaking me out, babe. CALL. ME. BACK.”

She disconnected the call and began listening to the voicemails. Each one escalating from the other. Sienna was freaking out about her phone dying, but hadn’t bothered to tell her anything. So annoyed she was half tempted to slam her phone down on the counter. Of course breaking her expensive smart phone would not help. Like it or not she had to wait for that crazy bitch to call her back.

Another fifteen minutes passed, her cell phone was charged to twenty five percent and her coffee was long gone. Too irritated to make more, she’d have to go sneak into the doctor’s lounge and see if they had anything in there before she headed back to the NICU. She stuffed her phone in the front pocket of her scrubs and slowly opened the door.

This nonsense from Sienna had her on edge as she found herself poking her head into the hall just enough to look up and down the corridor to see if any strangers lurked before heading out. With no one in either direction she headed down the hallway toward’s the doctor’s lounge. Maybe while she was there she could pilfer something to eat too. The privileged of the hospital always had free snacks lying around.

She peeked around another corner, wondering the whole time why she was letting Sienna get to her. There was absolutely no reason for anyone to wish her harm. Or Sienna for that matter. Her friend was a saint compared to her. What could she have possibly done or gotten involved with that would warrant someone wanting to hurt her?

Secure in the knowledge that she knew her friend well and that no one would ever want to hurt her, Marcy straightened and walked around the corner. Halfway down the hall she skidded to a stop because the man–make that the big man–she half thought might be following her came around the corner and scowled at her. Behind him was another man even taller, although not quite as wide and they were both staring her down and coming right for her.

With their twin expressions freaking her out, she began to notice other attributes as well. Large fists clenched at their sides, faded denim and leather jackets covered their bodies and big black shit kicker boots covered their feet. Jesus, they looked right out of some biker gang movie.

That thought made her heart beat speed up and fear whip through her. Afraid to take her eyes off of them she began moving backward. She had to escape. But could she make it back to the nurse’s lounge, swipe her ID and get the door closed behind her before they caught up. Not likely.

She had to try. For that to work it would require her full focus. The one she recognized looked like he was about to say something. Not that she cared. If they were here to hurt her then her only chance of escape was that damned lounge.

She whirled away from them and took off at a run. Heavy steps sounded behind her, letting her know they were in full pursuit.
If she could just make it around this corner…

“Stop running.” The command came at the same time she felt something grab the edge of her blouse.

Witch and Were

EXCERPT:

“Norman, what the hell is wrong with you?” My stupid cat stood next to my head hissing and growling at me as I tried to sleep. “I refuse to open my eyes and wake up no matter what you do. So you might as well give it up and go find something else to do.”

Today of all days I wished for nothing more than the opportunity to stay in bed and hide from the world. Why you ask? It’s simple really. Today is my birthday. Another milestone year for the record books I guess.

The big 5-0.

I had a dream I would wake up this morning and no longer look twenty-five. Of course it was silly, that’s what dreams are. Witches don’t age the same as humans, so there was little chance I would wake up looking any different than I did the day before.

Norman hissed in my ear again.

“Oh. My. Freaking. Goddess. What is your problem?” I opened my eyes to my white cat’s bared fangs only inches from my face. “You act as if you’ve never seen me before. And I’m warning you now, if you bite my face, I will murder you in your sleep.”

A total lie, of course, but hopefully he didn’t know that.

I turned on my back and lifted my arm to stretch and froze, limb in mid air.

What the hell?

I blinked. And then blinked again. Did I get drunk last night and not remember it? Why was I currently looking up at the white furred paw of some strange dog instead of my hand with the fresh manicure in the perfect shade of pink?

I tried to sit up and my body rolled awkwardly. Norman growled low in his throat again and this time I grew alarmed. Looking down, I clearly saw paws instead of hands and feet. And lots of white fur.

I jumped off the bed and ran over to my closet door with the full-length mirror. There I did a double take at my reflection. I squeezed my eyes shut and counted to ten in my head. Whatever was going on, there had to be an explanation.

An out of body experience?

A drink spiked with mind-altering drugs?

I took in a deep breath and slowly released it before once again opening my eyes. Nothing had changed. I still stood there looking at my reflection with the face of a while wolf staring back at me.

Still too shocked to understand, I took a step right. The wolf followed.

I moved back to the left. Same thing. I lowered my head and I’ll be damned if the stupid wolf didn’t mimic that too.

An Excerpt From: Vampire Awakening

Copyright © Eliza Gayle, 2012

All Rights Reserved, Gypsy Ink Books

For six months now, Abby Douglas had been living in the dark. No memories, no friends and no family. Until today. She placed the lone photograph on the table in front of her, the image haunting her. The woman depicted in the image had her eyes. The same haunting violet eyes Abby saw every morning in the mirror. Except it wasn’t her. The hair was a dark, rich red and the woman’s nose was thin and narrow giving her a more elegant and timeless appearance. Abby’s finger grazed the edge of the photo, her eyes closed, sparking the voice in her head that had begun to taunt her.

Awaken. It’s time to wake up, my sweet.

“Abby, you gonna take care of your table over there sometime tonight?” Barb’s smoke-roughened voice pierced through her thoughts. She blinked up at the woman, momentarily dazed. “You okay, Abby?”

Abby shook her head to clear her thoughts, erasing the mysterious voice.

“Yeah, I’m fine.” She grabbed up the photo and thrust it back into the unmarked envelope. It had arrived in the mail this afternoon with no return address, no letter inside or any other indication of who’d sent it. The only clue was a postmark from Tennessee. A long way from small town Georgia.

“Well, your break’s been over for ten minutes and those fellas over there are getting antsy for some drinks, shug.”

Abby glanced over to her section at the four cowboys waiting on her at table number six. She recognized three of them as her regulars. She couldn’t help but smile. Those men came in nearly every night, sitting at the same table, always trying to convince her to join them, one or the other asking her out on a date and generally giving her a hard time. The fourth man she couldn’t be sure about, as he had his back to her.

“Sorry, Barb, I lost track of time. I’m on my way over there now.” She grabbed up her order tray, tucked the envelope into her apron and hurried over to the table.

“Hey guys, how’s it going tonight?” The men turned at the sound of her voice, their gazes skimming over her body in tight jeans and a black tank top and lingering in all the wrong places before eventually resting on her face. She fought to keep her eyes from rolling.

“Ooh, there she is. There’s our sweet little Abby.”

“Y’all flatter me. Now what can I get you tonight?” She turned toward Steve first, starting with him. One by one the men ordered their regular two bottles of ice cold Bud for each. She didn’t even bother writing it down.

“What about you, sir?” She faced the fourth man she still didn’t recognize.

“Sorry about that, Abby, we didn’t even introduce you. This here is Caleb Barrett, an old friend of ours from way back who just got back into town today. Caleb, this is Abby Douglas. The reason we all come in here every night.”

She guffawed. “Y’all come in here every night because this is the only bar in this tiny town and you don’t feel like driving into Savannah.” She flashed them a sweet smile before turning her attention back to the stranger. His black cowboy hat tipped as he stood for the introduction. He towered over her by a full eight inches, she guessed. At a mere five foot three she tended to notice these things first. Shoulders broad with muscles rippled beneath his shirt as he moved. This close to him the heat from his body reached for her, bringing the tantalizing scent of earth and musk to her nose. Before she got a good look at him she felt the strong thread of authority and dominance that cloaked his every move, flooding her entire body with heat.

Abby stood still, denying her instant reaction to the sight and scent of a man she didn’t know from Adam. Her mouth watered with an urge to take a bite.

Fierce

Devils Point Wolves #5

**This story can standalone**

Don’t mess with mama…

Creed Donovan hates being alone. Fortunately for him there is no shortage of women who like a man with a dark side and the attitude to match. He'll never take a mate because he already has one. She just wants nothing to do with him or his kind. Except on payday at Club Diablo when she collects her cash. She struts her body seven nights a week at the pack's club for any man with cash. And he hasn't set foot inside since she rejected him. It wouldn't do for pack security to be the one ripping out a man's throat for looking the wrong way at his mate.

Dani’s life is one mistake after another. First, she’s got medical bills stacking up and needs money now, but her time as an exotic dancer has an early expiration date and it’s coming soon. Extra shifts for as long as she can get them are a no brainer. Which leads to the second issue. She’s tired of reliving the pain of her broken would-be relationship with Creed every time she steps foot on Devils Point. Add to that her feet hurt all the time and her body is no longer her friend. Especially when it aches to have Creed touch her again. She can’t deny her taste for a certain bad boy, but the past has to stay in the past. No matter how good he smells.
