BAD ALPHA: MANLOVE EDITION #guestspot

Just how sexy is a Bad Alpha?
Find out in BAD ALPHA: MANLOVE EDITION.
Shifters so ruthless they will stop at nothing to protect their pack, these Bad Alphas are
dangerous men with an animal side that rivals their human fierceness. Feared, inked, they take what they want, never give in to their enemies, and think love is for the weak—until they meet
their mate. Are you ready to learn how to tame a savage heart?

Don’t be fooled. These aren’t your usual sugar-and-spice heroes.

Ruthless. Fearless. Scarred, hard, and fully in charge of both their human and animal sides. These bad
Alphas aren’t the kind to take prisoners or believe in love—until they meet their mate.

With seven stories from authors such as James Cox and Doris O’Connor, Bad Alpha: Manlove Edition features Alpha shifters who do whatever it takes to survive and protect their pack. Bear, wolf, pit bull, the animal doesn’t matter as long as the Alpha is pitiless enough to do his job. It’s a hard life and doesn’t leave much room for love, until each Alpha stumbles across his male mate in locations
ranging from a Victorian London alley to a modern biker bar.

Bad Alpha: Manlove Edition will be released with its sister publication Bad Alpha. Both anthologies will be available from Evernight Publishing on August 20th,  2015 and from online retailers from August 21st.




“Bully Boys” by Nicola Cameron

When Victorian solicitor Arthur Finter is forced to cut down a dangerous London alley after
work, he stumbles upon pit bull shifter Alpha Gunner Jones in the middle of a dogfight with a
rival shifter pack. The hardnosed bully boy scents Arthur and recognizes him as his mate,
but will events orchestrated by the other pack separate them before Gunner can lay final
claim?

“The Alpha’s Assassin” by Doris O’Connor

Bear shifter Zayden Reid makes his living doing what he does best—killing people. The sought
after assassin doesn’t have to think twice when he’s offered a lot of money to kill the Alpha of a
wolf pack, until he scents his mate. As the Alpha of his pack Quinton Thorn is used
to giving orders. He may be gay, but that doesn’t mean he’s weak, and he’ll squash any
challenge to his leadership with ruthless efficiency. When the threat comes from a
source he trusts, however, can he afford to give into his feelings for his mate, knowing that he’ll
endanger everyone under his protection?

The mating bond cannot be denied, no matter what the consequences, and they might well
kill.

“Discarded Pup” by Angelique Voisen

Betrayed by his beta and abandoned by his pack, Cole Reyes wasted the last ten years of
his life rotting behind bars. A cage is no place for a wolf, and wounds left open, fester. Cole
has zero tolerance for mercy. The time Cole spent in prison didn’t just bleed out all the
decency he once possessed. It broke him. Made him hard and unforgiving. Cole’s vengeance
starts now, beginning with his beta’s new toy.

“Yellow Eyes” by Gale Stanley

The brutal war between shifters and humans is over, but each side still sees the other as a
threat. The only thing they can agree on, is that they can’t agree. Humans live east of the
bridge, shifters live west. Camden is a halfbreed, the product of a rape that happened
during the war. Neither side wants him, but he lives with his human mother. The night she dies, Camden goes west looking for revenge. He knows he won’t find his father, and he’ll
probably get himself killed, but he doesn’t care. As long as he takes a shifter with him, he’ll die
happy.

Wyat is alpha of the pack living in the west. He’s a warrior who believes in separation of the races.
Then on the night of the full moon, he discovers a half-breed hiding in the alley. The man’s scent
makes him burn with lust, and against his better judgement, he takes him home—and discovers
that sleeping with the enemy might just lead to a better future.

“Destined” by L.D. Blakeley

Caleb Stokes has had a shit night. Too bad catching his boyfriend in flagrante delicto with the
club DJ isn't the worst thing he’ll witness before the night is through.

Marick Gevrees has no time for romance. He has even less time for a tipsy twink looking for a man
to fill some Daddy fetish. But what the hell is he supposed to do when said twink wanders headlong
into the middle of a bloody vendetta that could result in the exposure of his clan?

“Trouble” by James Cox

Tremarc is sleeping his way through the entire Bear Shifter Clan. He’s sent to the moon, under
the colonized dome to stay out of trouble. When he meets sexy alpha Lyon and his mated human,
Quinn his life takes a sharp turn that may just find him his happy ending or get him kicked out
of yet another bear shifter clan.

“Outlaw Wolf” by Elizabeth Monvey

Dekker ran away from his pack in an order to protect his lover and Alpha, Grey, when he
overheard two higher ranked wolves talk about killing him. When Grey finds him six months later, Dekker tries to convince the man he loves to go away. But Grey won’t take no and as the two talk it out, their mutual attraction overwhelms them. In desperation, Dekker renounces Grey as his
Alpha. But when another force tries to punish Dekker by silencing him forever, Grey must
choose which stand he’ll take…being the alpha for all his pack, or being the man Dekker needs,
even if it means breaking the rules.

Hot New Release - Alpha's Claim Anthology

I love being part of Evernight Publishing's anthologies. When they put out a call for shifter stories, I couldn't resist :D

Alpha's Claim Anthology
Blurb:
Strength. Power. Domination. 
The shifters in our Alpha's Claim anthology have one thing in common—they won't take “no” for an answer. Whether they lead packs of their own, or whether they walk a solitary path, these alphas won't let anyone stop them from claiming their women.
Lose yourself in these ten sinfully delicious love stories. After all, who could deny an Alpha’s claim?
My story in the anthology is Extinction. Here's a little snippet…

Extinction
"You have nothing to be ashamed of." The look Lucas shot her pinged Holly's nipples into points against the flimsy fabric of her nightwear.
"You saw me naked?" Regardless of whether his tale was true or not, she hated that there was a possibility he had seen her at her most vulnerable.
"I think that makes us even, don't you?" He clutched the pillow closer to his groin. She'd have to remember to put the cover in the wash tomorrow.
"So, you've seen me in the nip, and I've seen you. It's been fun, but could you please fuck off now? It's been a long day." She wanted to crawl back into bed and pretend the past twenty-four hours had never happened.
"I didn't realize losing my father's funding would cause you such hardship. I'm sorry I upset you. That wasn't my intention." He had seen her tears after all. Bugger. That put her on the back foot.
"What did you think was going to happen? That we would put the flags out and celebrate our independence? As much as I detest saying it, we rely on your contribution to fund the project here." She had to set her weapon down so she could wipe away some more stupid tears.
"I'm still trying to get over the loss of my father. I guess I was trying to make it easier on myself by cutting a lot of ties to him. Listen, do you have something I can wear? It's impossible to have a serious conversation when I'm standing here with my balls in my hand." He peered at her from under lowered lids, sounding strangely vulnerable.
Maybe he wasn't such a cold hearted bastard after all. She knew she would go completely doolally if anything happened to her parents. That still didn't make it any more appropriate for him to be stark bollock naked in her bedroom. The sooner he covered up his six-pack and that happy trail of hair dipping from his navel, the quicker she could resume hating him. She grabbed her robe from behind the bedroom door and threw it at him.
"Thanks." He dropped the pillow to catch it in both hands.
Fuck a duck! Holly tried to avert her eyes, but she could still see his junk swinging about in
her peripheral vision as he dressed. "I think I'll go put the kettle on."

#SexySnippets



I'm starting to get into the Christmas mood, so today's #SexySnippets comes from 'A Very Furry Christmas'. This is my story in the 'Vanilla-Free Christmas' anthology.



 And yes, it is a little unusual... ;)


'Jason pinned her to the bed with the full length of his body. “How about we try a little experiment?”
He selected a bear and stroked it along her collarbone, the whisper of fur tickling the sensitive skin.
“Okay.” On unfamiliar territory now where someone accepted her quirks, she swallowed hard and took the leap of faith.

“I like you, Caitlin, but I want you horny for me, not my alter ego. I get that this turns you on, though.” As if to illustrate, he ran the toy across her breast, hardening her nipples to pink diamonds.'

My story is called Bit on the Side:

Helen thought she'd lost her husband to depression after he lost his job. Now he's back, happy, horny and ready to play. But Carl's spending so much time on his computer she's worried he's got something to hide. Will his secret tear them apart, or bring them closer than ever?

Want a sneak peek?

Excerpt:


"Go on top." Carl's breath was hot on Helen's lips with his request.
As their bodies were already joined quite snugly together she saw no reason to disrupt the proceedings now.
"Nooooo. You'll see all my wobbly bits." She hoped her laugh hid the real insecurities behind her reluctance. It had been so long since they'd had the time, privacy, or most recently, the inclination to be intimate, and her figure had surely changed. After twenty-four years of marriage, she no longer resembled the perky eighteen-year-old he'd first met.
"It's your wobbly bits I want to see."
She shrieked as he rolled over, taking her with him so he got his wish. With her husband trapped firmly between her thighs she should have had the power to dictate the next move, but she was so busy trying to keep her stomach sucked in, Carl took over.
He grabbed hold of her hips and tilted his pelvis to push deeper inside her. All thoughts of trying to maintain her perfect pose went out the window as he filled her with his thick cock. She gasped and braced herself on his chest, letting her palms skim over his muscular torso. Despite his work woes of late, Carl certainly hadn't let himself go.
He sat up and latched his lips around one of her taut nipples. Lately she'd worried they were for decoration only, but as he gave them the kiss of life he managed to resuscitate other parts of her, too. A sudden outpouring of appreciation saturated her pussy, and Carl took it as an invitation to fuck her just that little bit harder.
"I don't know what's come over you." Whatever had turned him from the moping miserable mess he'd become since his redundancy into her hot, horny husband she was truly grateful.
"You, hopefully." The glint in his mischievous green eyes would've been enough to turn her insides to liquid, but then he hooked a finger inside her and coaxed her into total meltdown.
