Feral
Prue Davis is desperate. Her boss has gone nuts trying to show everyone his ‘mangina’, her research has been confiscated and her only hope of salvaging her career is to return to Devils Point Island and find out why so many wild wolves are drawn to one small island. She thinks she’s prepared, but no one is ever ready to find out their new lover is a werewolf.
Mating Season is over, but Brody Fox is still going insane. He’s angry, resentful and probably dangerous. And he can’t stop dreaming about the brown-eyed girl he wants to bite. Now he’s ready to do or say anything to find the mate he lost. But if one more person calls him feral…?

Wanted
Allison Fox is on the hunt again. Except this time the werewolf she’s been assigned to track is her brother. The search has led to the island of Devils Point and it doesn’t take her long to figure out she’s hit the motherlode–of werewolves. But when she meets Diego, her world turns upside down.
As mating season comes to a close, Diego is thrown into chaos when he’s given the task of interrogating the female hunter who would like nothing more than to kill him. His track record with women sucks and this one is no better. Especially when his wolf stands up and claims her as his mate.

Southern Shifters KindleWorlds 101
Eliza Gayle’s Southern Shifters are coming to Amazon’s Kindle Worlds! What does that mean? Here’s a quick explanation…
ELIZA GAYLE’S SOUTHERN SHIFTERS ON KINDLE WORLDS
On August 11, 2015, Eliza Gayle’s Southern Shifters Kindle World will officially launch. Authors will be able to write, upload and sell their original stories written within the Southern Shifters Kindle Worlds guidelines and readers get to enjoy even more Southern Shifters stories contributed by some of their favorite authors or by writers who are new to them.
The all-star line-up of #SouthernShiftersKW launch authors includes: Selena Blake, Dee Carney, Mina Carter, Vella Day, Michelle Fox, Yvette Hines, Celia Kyle, Ellis Leigh, Heather Long, Erika Masten, Lissa Matthews, T.J. Michaels, Ruby Shae and Brandy Walker
WHAT IS KINDLE WORLDS?
To answer that we first must explore the concept of FAN FICTION, which is the tradition of fans (of television, comics, and literature) penning their own stories in their favorite fictional worlds. They write for their own satisfaction and to share their words with fellow fans of the worlds in which they are writing, on their blog or on dedicated fan fiction websites. The most famous fan fiction story is of course by E.L. James who originally wrote 50 Shades of Grey as fan fiction of Stephenie Meyer’s Twilight series. As the cycle continues, fans of James’s 50 Shades now write their own stories. The Big Bang Theory TV show might offer the most amusing example of fan fic in the episode “The Troll Manifestation” where Amy writes Little House on the Prairie fan fiction starring her as the 19th Century heroine “Amelia” and Sheldon as a time traveling physicist from the future.
Amazon’s innovation, KINDLE WORLDS, entered the fan fiction scene in 2013 as a way for both the creators of the worlds that inspire fan fiction as well as those writing that fan fiction to make their original stories widely available to the reading public easily, legally, and for profit. Kindle Worlds began by licensing popular worlds such as Pretty Little Liars, The Vampire Diaries, and Gossip Girl. In June of 2014, Kindle Worlds dove into the Romance Genre with the addition of worlds by, among others, Bella Andre, Barbara Freethy, H.M. Ward and most recently my friend Cat Johnson. Now, Kindle Words is growing again, launching new worlds in many genres, including a Kindle World for Eliza Gayle’s Southern Shifters Series.

Innocence Burned Paperback
Isabella
I turned around and took in my surroundings. Someone could have easily followed me or tracked down the cab company by now. The couple at the end of the pier were so into each other I doubted they noticed anyone. Even a runaway bride.
A family of four stood huddled together off to the side, holding up a cell phone to take a series of selfies, also oblivious to those around them. They’d noticed my arrival, giving me a strange look as I passed them, but quickly moved on to whatever brought them here in the first place. Most likely tourists if I had to guess.
In fact, no one paid any attention to me at all. Some of the tension keeping me strung tight loosened. But still no new plan came to mind. I was still standing on a pier in a wedding gown with nowhere to go.
With increasing desperation driving me to do something, movement out of the corner of my eye caught my attention. I turned and that’s when I saw him. A stranger sitting alone on a bench with a lit cigarette dangling from his lips.
I moved to avert my eyes when his gaze caught mine and held it. Well, I froze, he didn’t move. I couldn’t look away from eyes so blue they almost glowed. In the darkened grey day on a quiet Seattle pier, those eyes stood out like beacons calling my damn name. The rest of him wasn’t half bad either. Short brown hair cropped close to his head, and enough stubble on his face to indicate more than a few days had passed since he shaved. And he wasn’t so much sitting on the bench as he was sprawled on it with his legs kicked out in front of him. Worn denim hugged long, thick legs, making it impossible not to notice the muscle that lay underneath.
The rest of him looked pretty big too from what I could tell. Despite the black leather jacket covering his torso, I still saw the dark T-shirt underneath conformed to a broad chest and likely tight abs underneath. Heavy combat boots completed the look and made me groan. He might as well have hung a blinking neon sign around his neck that said, ‘Bad boy. Come and get it.’
Getting it would normally be a bad idea. But in this case… That new plan I’d been looking for crystallized in my brain. He was the perfect solution in every way.
A place to hide.
A way to take my mind off my craptastic life.
And the easy way out I needed.
Except he was still staring at me and the longer he did the more it unnerved me. His facial expression didn’t change and if not for the end of the cigarette lighting up when he took a drag, I might have believed he was a figment of my imagination.
It was then I realized what I was probably staring at. He wasn’t just some guy. He was the real deal. Some kind of powerful badass clear to the bone. Guys who wanted to be like him came by the dozen with no hope of ever actually being him. None of them would still be holding my gaze hostage like this one.
Something inside me jumped. A feeling I hardly remembered. Something darkly sexual weaving its way through my blood.
Of course, standing here dressed in a wedding gown I couldn’t be further from his type if I tried. He didn’t know that I’d been forced to wear this dress. Or that the man I’d been about to wed would be more than happy to force me if I dared to defy him. That had been my cross to bear because of the family I was born to and today I’d refused my duty and run.
