If all goes well, SEDUCTION will be published this week. Finally! In the meantime, I'm finishing OBSESSION, the next Werewolves of Montana Mating Mini (January 2015).
Here's a preview:
Obsession

He parked a lean hip
against the tree’s trunk and folded his muscular arms. In his red flannel shirt,
with the sleeves rolled up to display tanned forearms, and faded jeans and
scuffed Western boots, he looked like an ordinary cowboy. But there was nothing
ordinary about this Lupine.
Curls the color of
blackest night spilled down to his collar. His strong jaw was covered by a
close-trimmed beard, and the same beard framed a mouth far too sensual for a
man. But there was nothing sensual about the sharp, angular features of his
face nor the darkness of those brown eyes.
Those eyes seemed
ageless, and ancient pain lurked in their depths.
Jessica studied the
acres of green pasture, the gleaming buildings, and thought about the expensive
motor cars parked in the garage. “It must be nice to be wealthy,” she mused.
“There are worse
things than having no money,” he said quietly.
“Easy to say when you
have plenty of it.”
“I’d trade all the
money in the world to regain what I’ve lost.”
He looked dark and
dangerous and yet he had an air of vulnerability.
“What did you lose?”
Raphael shook his
head. “Another time, little one. Perhaps one night I will share that
information.”
“You don’t believe in
sharing during the day?”
His gaze became
hooded. “With you, I would much rather share…things… at night.”
Jessica felt her
entire body flare with heat. Every time he gazed at her with those bedroom
eyes, she felt a jolt of sensual awareness.
Her Lupine nature, with all its raging hormones and
sexual need, howled for release.
But his seductive gaze wasn’t centered on her face
now. He stared at her curls.
“What’s wrong? Never seen a redhead before?”
“Not of that color.
I have met some red wolf Lupines, but their coloring is darker.”
Raphael approached
her. Before she could squeak a protest, he wrapped a strand of her hair around
his index finger. “It is like living flame that does not burn. But do you burn,
Jessica? Burn with the desire all our kind possesses?”
Dry-mouthed,
she struggled for a comeback. Think, think! No way could she allow this
silver-tongued devil wolf best her.
“Right now I
burn with a tremendous desire.” Jessica tugged her hair away from his loose
grasp. “A desire for you to stop touching me.”
He arched a brow. “That is not touching you, little
one. When I touch you, you will know it, and be unable to resist.”
