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.

paranormal, fantasy, or suspense. Her books are always steamy. Her

often singing), the countryside, animals,
gorgeous men, technology, art, garter belts
and stockings, and potatoes—in any order.
