Thank you to everyone who visited my blog as part of the Octoberfest blog parade. I’ve drawn a random winner, and the person is… bluecat! So please contact me and tell me which electronic book off my backlist (or today’s release) that you’d like to have and in what format! Congrats :)

So today Primal Attraction releases from Cobblestone Press as part of their Octoberfest celebration. Here’s a blurb and excerpt to tempt you (hopefully!) and thanks for hanging out!

I hope everyone has a great weekend!

Old Centuron should have been a forgotten colony, but when Sarina arrives to do research, she confronts the brutal reality of how wrong she was. Now prisoner to a man who is both wolf and human, she faces a shocking truth and an undeniable passion.

Brief EXCERPT:

Sarina stumbled backward, her eyes widening and her blood pounding in a potent combination of fear and horror. She grabbed the trunk of the tree, the only way she was able to stay upright as she watched the wolf transform into a large, muscular, completely naked man. His hair was black, his face a mass of hard angles.

A high pitched whine indicated the pod was lifting off the ground. Her last chance! Without pausing to analyze that thing in front of her, she bolted past him, rushing toward the pod.

“Wait!” she screamed. “Reynard, don’t leave me—”

Arms snapped around her waist and jerked her backward. The air rushed from her lungs as she slammed against the chest of the man behind her. The forest swallowed her shrill scream as she struggled against him. She spotted a severed hand a few feet away, and her scream grew louder and more hysterical.

“Silence,” he commanded. One arm slid under her ribcage and tightened just below her breasts.

The thing spoke English? She slammed her head backward into his, hoping to stun him into dropping her. He cursed and his grip tightened, while stars danced behind her eyes. What the hell was his skull made of? Iron?

“Foolish woman,” he growled and grabbed her braid, tugging her head backwards so that her throat was bared, and she was rendered immobile. “Be still.”

Icy sweat broke out all over body, and her heart beat so hard she knew he could hear it. With her head angled back, she had the perfect view of the pod flying straight up into the atmosphere.

She was alone on this planet. With this thing. All her crew had either been butchered or had abandoned her. Terror swept through her, leaving her weak.

“What are you?” The words left numb limps.
