Big Game: A Hunted Love #1
*Synopsis*

In Big Game, a legendary predator decides prize horses should be on his menu. Kate, the owner of the horse ranch, hires a big game hunter to track the mountain lion and remove the threat. The hunter arrives to take up the trail, but instead of the seasoned older man she expects, she meets Jakob who is young and impossibly sexy. Despite her attraction to him, Kate fears Jakob will reject her because of the after-effects of a childhood injury.

Freshly back from deployment to Afghanistan as a special forces operative, Jakob needs to clear his head of the horrors of war. When his uncle dies, Jakob steps in to hunt down a mountain lion on the other side of the state. The prospect of several days in the wilderness with only his horses and dogs for company sounds like the ideal opportunity. Except the infuriating female rancher insists on going along for the ride.



Big Game: A Hunted Love #1
*Excerpt*

He slipped into the hall quietly and headed in the right direction. A faint sound, a moan,stopped him in his tracks. A repeat, and then another, deeper, came from an open door directly across from the bathroom. Was something wrong? Worried, he rushed for the open door only to freeze in his tracks.

 Kate's big four poster bed stood framed between two windows and her pale skin showed in stark relief against dark sheets. She moaned again and moved restlessly, rolling to her back. The snug tank top and white cotton panties she wore left little to the imagination, displaying the contours of muscle and feminine curve to sheer perfection.

 When one hand dropped to those delicious panties, Jakob swallowed hard to keep from groaning his need aloud. Fuck! He clenched his eyes hard and forced himself to back slowly away from her door before his hard-on could lead him into that bed with her. Dear God in Heaven, he would never be the same again.

 The bathroom door stopped his flight and he managed to get himself together enough to open in and go inside. What the hell was wrong with him? It wasn't like he was a rank virgin, to react to a woman that way. He hadn't even been forever without a woman. An old girlfriend had been happy to welcome him home.

 Erection throbbing in desperation, he managed to get the water started and climb into the shower. The blast of ice shards should have eliminated the issue, but if anything, he only became harder and more needy. Stubborn, he forced himself to lather up despite the bone chilling effect, and thereby discovered an entirely new form of torture. And still his hips arched reflexively.

 Biting his lip to contain yet another groan he finally allowed his fingers to circle the base of his shaft. No sense fighting the inevitable. In just a few strokes he found the right rhythm and let his forehead rest against the shower wall while his harsh breathing filled the small space. His orgasm blasted forth on one final thrust with a groan that started in the depths of his soul. He sagged against the shower wall, the image of Kate pinned under him etched on his brain forever.

 A sharp rap at the bathroom door jolted his heart to a standstill. "Jakob? Are you okay?"

 Fuck, that voice sent heat pooling into his groin once more.

 She knocked again. "Jakob?"

 "Uh, sorry. I'm okay, be out in a minute." Good God.

Bounty: Hunted Love #2 
*Synopsis*

Bounty hunter, Falon Harris is asked to go after outlaw biker Tom Kellen and tracks him to where he's hiding out in Stags Leap, KY, laying low and waiting for the heat to pass. Rita James operates a busy tavern/grill and occasionally rents out the little camper trailer on her back lot.

Figuring the tavern is the most logical place to watch for Kellen, Falon rents the trailer for a week. The first night, while he's having dinner and watching everything, Kellen shows up and starts giving Rita a hard time. The bartender puts a stop to it, but Falon gets the idea it's happened before. Knowing Kellen's past, he knows the biker won't take no for an answer for long.

Bounty: Hunted Love #2
*Excerpt*

Falon took advantage of the small gap between them to look. Silky pale skin covered her smooth musculature and feminine contours. Black lace accentuated the paleness of her breasts and acted as an artistic showcase for all that sheer perfection.

 The impulse to touch overcame him and he allowed his hands to rise and gently cup her flesh.

She reacted with a sharp hiss and reached behind her back to unclasp her bra. The garment went slack in his hand, and he let it drop in favor of touching bare skin. Hardened nipples beckoned his mouth, and he obeyed instantly to flick his tongue across the tip of one and rolled the other between his finger and thumb.

 Rita's moan accompanied her fingers cupping the back of his head, nails raking his scalp in a way that inflamed him even more. He pulled her nipple between his lips and sucked hard, drawing a gasp from her.

 A muffled bang from below made them both stiffen just as a buzzer sounded in Rita's apartment.

 "Shit!" She pulled away and scrambled for her bra and shirt. "Trouble in the bar. That was the

shotgun."



Captured: Hunted Love #3
*Synopsis*

Jakob and Kate from Big Game continue to explore the possibilities of their attraction, as disaster and violence head their way. A new foe prepares to rain hell down on their heads in the form of an outlaw Motorcycle Club and Kellen, a killer with a grudge against Jakob. Having overheard the plot, Jakob's old Army buddy, Falon, and Rita, from Bounty, race to help, but can they get there in time?

Kellen will do whatever it takes to have his revenge on Jakob and carry out his orders to force Kate into a brand new horror. Will she be able to count on Jakob's love to sustain her in the darkness? When Falon and Rita interfere with Kellen's plans, they become his targets as well, but since they have no value to him, he simply wants them eliminated. Can they trust in their new love to help them get through?

Captured: Hunted Love #3
*Excerpt* 

They neared the end of the aisle and the punk turned to face them, grinning and blocking the way. "Hey, folks. What say you stay real quiet-like, and hand over the cash?"

Rita froze and Falon sensed the anger coursing through her. He shifted his position to keep an eye toward their rear. She stepped a little away from him and put her hands on her hips, and very deliberately looked the punk up and down. "I don't fucking think so. You picked the wrong people to try and hold up."

The punk first looked a little embarrassed and afraid, but his nerve quickly reasserted itself. He raised the bottom of his stained and ragged T-shirt to reveal the butt of a small handgun at his waistband. "Bitch, I don't want no trouble, but I can handle it."

Rita bent a little as if to brush some dust from her boot, presenting Falon with a tempting view of her ass. The wicked looking .40 she'd chosen to carry in her boot practically leapt into her hand as she straightened. "Sweetheart, I am trouble. Back up." She looked like trouble, too, with her snug jeans tucked into black boots, and a faded denim jacket she'd cut the sleeves out of. Under the jacket, a royal-blue corset that hugged every sexy-as-sin curve made Falon's cock throb every time he got a glimpse.

He felt like a fucking idiot. Who thought of how delicious a woman's breasts tasted in the middle of a mugging? He had to be all alone in that distinctive proclivity. But try as he might, the memory refused to leave him alone, even as he braced himself to deal with the punk's partner, now only a few feet behind.

Enough fooling around. He needed to get this done so he could get Rita somewhere more private and taste her again. Annoyed and increasingly frustrated, he turned on his heel, trusting Rita to handle the first punk while he took care of the partner. Surprised, he froze. The emaciated girl standing a few feet away didn't look capable of harming anyone. But the revolver in her fragile hands could likely do the job, if she could hold it steady enough.

The barrel wavered and her eyes went huge. "I'm sorry, mister, but we need the money real bad. We ain't eat nothing for three days." Certainly believable.

*** VAMPIRE EROTIC ROMANCE ***

Master for Tonight (Book 1 in the Master for Tonight Duet)

*Synopsis*
While feeding in the slums of the city, he is interrupted by a woman. Mesmerized, he extracts his fangs from his meal and follows her home. Instantly obsessed, he watches her nightly. Nights turn to months. His desire for her becomes overwhelming. Though fearing the wrath of a vicious Maker who turned him against his will, Julian decides to give Kate the most erotic night of her life, and then walk away. But, things rarely go as planned….

Kate Collins is an average woman in her late-30’s, plagues by panic attacks. Sent home by her boss at the shelter, she prepares to have a night of relaxation… until her doorbell rings.

Julian Montfort is the most beautiful and masculine man she has ever seen. He exudes ‘maleness’ from his entire body—that certain quality some men have in their DNA that makes a woman recognize her femininity…her ‘womanness.’ That part of her that is soft, malleable, and made to accept him. Drawn to him despite his unconventional arrival, Kate must answer his question: “Can you allow yourself this indulgence? It’s just one night.”

Deeply sensual and erotic, Master for Tonight is a contemporary vampire romance which goes beyond the burning physical attraction between Julian and Kate, telling a tale of two people drawn together under incomprehensible circumstances, and their fight to be together against all odds.

“Master for Tonight was an amazing love story. It is very well written and the story kept me entertained with love and hot passionate sex.” Amazon Reviewer

*Please note: Master for Tonight is Book 1 in the Master for Tonight Duet. It contains strong language, violence and detailed descriptions of intimacy.*

Master for Tonight (Book 1 in the Master for Tonight Duet)


*Excerpt*
"Julian, my love, I watch as you endure the pains of the turning. Your sweating chest is heaving, trying to breathe. So tragic, the short, ragged pants. The quakes of the death rattle seizing you. Your strong, shivering body rising from the ground, only to fall again. Hands which held me so tenderly, now shaking and reaching out. I can’t help you. I’ve done all I can for us. Your poor heart making every attempt to keep your body alive, but it will fail, my love. I see the scythe above your brow. You die tonight. You live tonight. We will be together. I heard your words of love as you took me. The language of love spoken fluently and with an affinity I’ve never experienced in the past. I know now my lovers before were mere players at love, but you swore yourself to me to be true. I’ve believed so many others, only to be cast aside, but how could you love me so thoroughly, bringing me to peaks with every touch, if it were not sincere? Such care you took with my pleasure. I asked if you wanted me and you said, ‘Always.’ Your earnest eyes showed me your truth. Your wish is granted for eternity."

As Kate contemplates that fateful night when Julian appeared on her porch, she must ask herself, “Was it worth opening my door?”






Master For Tonight II

*Excerpt*
That was when it became suddenly clear, exactly what she was saying and why he was reacting to her the way he was. Some part of her wanted death, and it was calling to the death which made him.

“No, Kate! No.” Revulsion filled him, and he pushed away from her, sliding on the wood floor until he hit the wall by the open window. He clicked his fangs back into his gums. “I will not be the instrument of your destruction. You are my life! I will not do this!”

“I’m sorry. I don’t want to go. I’ve tried to be strong. Tried to be unbreakable. I thought we could be together at least in my leaving. I’ve been calling out to you to come to me. To end this.”

“You don’t know what you’re saying, Kate!”

The dreams are the closest thing I have to memories of my life, except they aren’t real. I’m crazy. I’m not a princess. They’re the mad illusions of an irrational teenage girl, right? They’ve assigned me a new doctor who she says I can trust her and she’ll help me see the truth of who I really am. When she arrived she brought a new patient, Sawyer who is everything Spindle Ridge isn’t; exciting, mysterious and beautiful. He promises he’s here to rescue me. Trusting either of them frightens me. Could it be possible that my dreams are more than just the imaginings of a delusional girl? Could they be truth?
