Thank you
for inviting me to your lovely blog today to talk about my new release with
Siren Publishing, ‘Surprising the Alpha’, an erotic, paranormal romance.
Blurb
The town is
dying after a new highway takes its previous through traffic and custom away from
shops, cafes, the bars and tourist attractions. The Venn wolf-shifter pack and
alpha, Joshua Venn, are suffering. They’ve lived happily in the town as humans
and like it, but now they’re threatened with slinking back to a woodland den
with their tails between their legs.
One day Dani
Cruz and her brother Jason hit town. They’re entrepreneurs whose business is
urban regeneration and they intend to save this town. Only one person resents
their arrival, alpha wolf-shifter Joshua. Will his determination to be the only
one who saves his pack drive the town to ruin? Or will something happen that
changes his life forever?
Joshua Venn
is looking for answers. It’s one hot summer and someone hides a secret.
This alpha
is in for more than one surprise.
About the story:
Surprising
the Alpha was originally written for an anthology, but then ultimately
developed into a full-length story, and the first in ‘The Venn Pack in Love’
series.
Joshua Venn
is particularly dear to me as a character. He’s sexy, an alpha, but vulnerable,
and as he falls in love with Dani Cruz, the heroine, he has to accept he’s not
the big bad alpha he hoped to be.
We get a
glimpse of the whole Venn pack and meet the character who features in the
second Venn Pack story, an erotic paranormal suspense, ‘Wolf Bond’.
I wanted
this wolf-shifter pack to be different and have none of the sometimes hackneyed
wolf-lore found in this type of story. The series has a third
story already in the pipeline and each story features one of the pack, in love,
of course. (Smiles)
Read an excerpt:
Her feminine perfume surrounded him. Her
heartbeat echoed in his ears. Her golden-green eyes flashed as she spoke. Her
long hair flicked around her shoulders and swept the tops of her pretty arms as
she spoke. Her mouth enticed him. The way her bottom lip stuck out as she
stared up at him bravely sent lust speeding through him. Hardly knowing what he
was doing, he grabbed her face and sank his mouth on hers. The second he kissed
her every muscle in his tightly strung body relaxed.
Soft lips parted under his. Her delicate
hands slipped across his chest to hold him tight.
He floated in sensation. His cock
hardened deliciously. With a low growl, he let her go and stepped away, shocked
not only at his needs, but also at her passionate response.
With a soft sound, Dani followed to be
close to him again. “What did you think of my offer to you?”
Joshua’s hackles rose. He pushed her
away, saw her unbalance, and caught her. He crushed her to his body.
She molded to him and tilted her face to
his.
Joshua gazed into her eyes and saw
desire, pure sexual need. His mind emptied of everything but the softness of
her ass cupped in his hand. He rammed his erection against her, a low growl
escaping before he kissed her so hard she whimpered. Joshua tore her shirt off,
sucking her neck hungrily.
