Snippet Sunday - A Hell Hound's Fire - Perfect Timing

 

Welcome to the Snippet Sunday! Thank you so much for visiting. If you choose to comment, I really appreciate it. Most of these snippets are unedited, works in progress, and while my snippets aren't consecutive, they are in order within the story. You can read last week's snippet HERE.

Today, I'm offering another snippet from my paranormal romance AVAILABLE NOW entitled A Hell Hound's Fire. Best part? It's free, both on Smashwords and All Romance Ebooks! :D In this snippet, Sarah has gone upstairs to tuck in her son and Alex remembered the bed had no sheets. He came to help make the bed and stopped to listen to her read to Liam. However his mind is going elsewhere. This is in Alex's POV.

He had to get his head back in the game and focus on the threat, not on the luscious female in the next room. She’d experienced enough difficulty already. The last thing she needed was some horny male backing her against the wall and kissing the hell out of her.

The idea made his cock swell.

Shit, get downstairs before she sees you, fool.

Alex lurched off the wall and shoved the sheets back in the closet. Then he bolted for the stairs, damn near tripping on the way down.

Sarah’s voice floated after him, “Your mountain needs moving, so get on your way.”

I’m going, I’m going.

Timing is everything, yes? ;) There are several great authors on the Weekend Writing Warrior list and in the Snippet Sunday Facebook group. A few of my favorites are Sarah Ballance, Charmaine Gordon, Goran Zidar, Karla Doyle, and A.S. Fenichel.

If you're interested in A Hell Hound's fire, here is the cover and blurb:

Love can be found in the most unlikely places, even the heart of a Hell Hound.

Alex MacLaren figures he'll never find love again after his mate dies. As one of the rare Hell Hound werewolves, his chances are slim to none. And slim went home. When the local Morukai shaman calls on him to protect a lovely Irish werewolf and her young son from demons, he can't help but take the job.

Sarah Flanagan is desperate to save her son Liam from the deadly monster trailing them, but she's out of options and places to hide. She lost her mate the last time she encountered a demon, and with Liam depending on her, the stakes are far higher this time. After meeting Alex, she's not sure about the Hell Hound, but she’s no fool. He’s their best hope for survival... and hers for another chance at love.

You can also find this on Amazon, but it's not free. If you'd like to help me get them to price match, please go to the Amazon page and click on the like "tell us about a lower price." Just put in the All Romance Ebooks URL and hopefully they will get the hint soon.

Sunday Snippet - A Hell Hound's Fire - A Little Movie Magic

Welcome to the Weekend Writing Warriors! Thank you so much for visiting. If you choose to comment, I really appreciate it. Most of these snippets are unedited, works in progress, and while my snippets aren't consecutive, they are in order within the story. You can read last week's snippet HERE.

Today, I'm offering another snippet from my paranormal romance AVAILABLE NOW entitled A Hell Hound's Fire. Best part? It's free! :D Ahem, definitely not excited in the least. ;) In this snippet, Sarah and Alex just finished their kiss (broken up by the pot boiling over). Sarah's trying to regroup. This is in Sarah's POV.

True Mate. Her Sister self seemed so certain.

She wanted to scoff, but she didn’t want Alex to think she didn’t believe him. “It’s all right. I’m sure it’s just the ‘poor me’ attitude I was giving you. Isn’t there a line in Under the Tuscan Sun where the bloke says she has to stop crying or he’d be forced to make love to her? I’m sure it’s just something like that.”

Did she just suggest he’d been thinking of making love to her? Can you be any more forward with a man trying to help you? Chewed bones. She felt her face flush and ran a hand over her hair.

Alex chuckled and shifted his hips as if his jeans had become too tight.

 

At least she knows what she wants, lol. ;) There are several great authors on the Weekend Writing Warrior list and a few of my favorites are Sarah Ballance, Charmaine Gordon, Goran Zidar, Karla Doyle, and A.S. Fenichel.

Weekend Writing Warriors - A Hell Hound's Fire - Giving In

Welcome to the Weekend Writing Warriors and Happy Easter! Thank you so much for visiting on this busy weekend. I will be in and out as I celebrate with my family, but I'll try to get to everyone's blog. If you choose to comment, I really appreciate it. Most of these snippets are unedited, works in progress, and while my snippets aren't consecutive, they are in order within the story. You can read last week's snippet HERE.

Today, I'm offering another snippet from an upcoming paranormal romance available April 2nd 2013, entitled A Hell Hound's Fire. SQUEEE two more days! :D Ahem, still not excited in the least. ;) In this snippet, Alex finally gives into his need and kisses Sarah. This is in Alex's POV.

Sarah whimpered and her nails dug into his back through his shirt as she wrapped one leg around his thigh. She ground her mound against his rock-hard cock and he swore his eyes rolled back in his head.

Want, want her now, True Mate. Tugging her head back again, he broke the kiss and licked her throat, lust demanding he mark her as his. He worked his hand between their bodies and stroked the crotch of her jeans, the heat and dampness there searing his fingers. Feral need exploded through him and the scent of her arousal insisted he mate with her immediately.

And he would have, except the pasta pot boiled over right beside them.

They broke apart, Alex scrambling to turn down the heat on the stove. His cock throbbed against the fly of his jeans, mourning the loss of Sarah’s warmth, but guilt hit him straight between the eyes. What the fuck am I doing?

So much for his control, but it doesn't sound like she was protesting all that much. ;) There are several great authors on the Weekend Writing Warrior list and a few of my favorites are Sarah Ballance, Charmaine Gordon, Goran Zidar, Karla Doyle, and A.S. Fenichel.

Today, I'm offering another snippet from an upcoming paranormal romance available April 2nd 2013, entitled A Hell Hound's Fire. SQUEEE one more week! :D Ahem, not excited in the least. ;) In this snippet, Sarah Flanagan and her son Liam came to Cloudburst, Colorado, seeking help in escaping a demon. They're werewolves, Moon Singers, and have arrived at Alex MacLaren's safe house. Alex has just made dinner and Sarah has offered to help, laying her hand on his arm. This is in Alex's POV.

    He fell into her pale green gaze and his heart stirred along with his cock. This one, this one is the right one. His Brother let loose a whimper and Alex almost pulled Sarah into his arms and kissed her. But lightning flashed and thunder shook the house, making him jump. He stepped back.

    “You’re welcome. Just all part of the plan to keep you safe. You’ve had a rough night and I’m happy to help.” Alex glanced out the windows to see rain smattering the glass in great sheets. “Looks like we caught a break, though.”

    A cute crease developed between her auburn brows. “How so?”

    “Fitzroy said water confuses demons. I figure between the river and the rain storm, we got it covered.”

 Oops! He almost got caught his his hand in the cookie jar...or his lips on hers. ;) There are several great authors on the Weekend Writing Warrior list and a few of my favorites are Sarah Ballance, Charmaine Gordon, Goran Zidar, Karla Doyle, and Monica Enderle Pierce.

Weekend Writing Warriors - A Hell Hound's Fire - Introduction

Today, I'm offering a snippet from an upcoming paranormal romance which will be a free read available April 2nd 2013, entitled A Hell Hound's Fire. Sarah Flanagan has come to Cloudburst, Colorado, seeking protection from a demon. Alex MacLaren has been assigned to her case by the local PD Lieutenant. This is their first meeting and it's from Sarah'a POV. NOTE: Moon Singer is what werewolves call themselves.

    Sarah inhaled to get more of an understanding of the salt-and-pepper haired man standing in the doorway. He carried the scents of alpine river and hot stone, but more importantly, he smelled like a Moon Singer.

    Don’t be fooled, gel, the demon can pull that off, too.

    “Who are you?”

    “My name is Alex MacLaren, and Lt. Fitzroy called me to take you somewhere safe.”

    “I don’t think there’s anywhere safe from what’s following us. How do I know you have such a place?”

    “Fitzroy says running water helps throw off the scents. I happen to own a house surrounded by the river. What say we get you there and then figure out an additional plan of action?”

Romantic retreat by the river, demon chasing you.

Today, I'm offering a snippet from a new work in progress, a paranormal romance which will be a free read available April 2nd 2013, entitled A Hell Hound's Fire. Alex MacLaren has been asked to help Lt. Fitzroy with a special job. The special job entails protecting Sarah Flanagan and her son Liam from a demon. Sarah is in the other room reading a book to Liam. Alex is the first one to speak.

    “What do I need to do?”

    “From what I can gather from the messages I’ve received, she needs a place that doesn’t smell like her. The demon seems to be tracking through some kind of emotional or psychic scent, and she needs a place without hers.” Fitzroy scanned Alex with his unnerving stare, the one that always seemed to see right through him. “You still have the house on the river, right?”

    Alex groaned, “Take her to my place?”

    “Water confuses demons.”

    Sarah piped up, “Onward up many a frightening creek while losing the paddle and springing a leak.”

And boy, is there something interesting going on.

Today, I'm offering a snippet from a new work in progress, a paranormal romance which will be a free read available at the end of March, entitled A Hell Hound's Fire. Alex MacLaren is a special kind of werewolf, and the cops often call him for 'special' jobs. This is from the opening of the story, and Lisa was his mate who died eight years earlier.

    “What can I do for the Copper Creek PD, Lieutenant Fitzroy?”

    “I need a favor, MacLaren, can you get down here?”

    “Yeah, I’ll be there in twenty.”

    Alex hung up the phone and trotted into the River House he’d built with Lisa, trying to take comfort in the warm, orange glow coming from the large windows. The light gilded the ground and trees around the house, but it didn’t bring the solace he sought. No time to turn off the lights, he locked up and headed for his Jeep.

    If Fitzroy called, there had to be something interesting going on. And Alex sorely needed a distraction from this painful anniversary.

Weekend Writing Warriors - Second Chance Succubus - Playtime

Welcome to the Weekend Writing Warriors, a list of authors showcasing their work for all and sundry, on Sundays. Thank you so much for visiting and if you choose to comment, I really appreciate it. Most of these snippets are unedited, works in progress, and while my snippets aren't consecutive, they are in order within the story. You can read last week's snippet HERE.

Today, I'm offering a snippet from my work in progress, a cross-over paranormal romantic suspense with BDSM elements, entitled Second Chance Succubus. CSI Chayse Wolffe and his twin Nik have followed Lady Aislynn down into her club. They've walked into a 'playroom' and are watching a scene.

The cowboy sauntered around the bound woman, cracking the whip, and watching her intently. Chayse wanted to pounce on him and hold him while his brother freed her, but Nik appeared to be as fascinated with the scene as the cowboy was.

Each clap of the leather against the air made the woman squirm against her restraints and moan loader. At first, she seemed to be in pain, fear twisting her features, but Chayse scented her arousal, and watched her nipples harden against her sheer t-shirt.

The cowboy snapped the whip once more, cocking his head as he studied his partner. He ran the hard handle of the whip down her arm and she jerked in surprise, squeaking a little as she opened her eyes.

“Did I give you permission to open your eyes, pet?”

She immediately snapped them shut and whispered, “No, Sir.”

Chayse has been pretty vanilla (for a werewolf). He just got a whole new education. ;) There are several great authors on the Weekend Writing Warrior list and a few of my favorites are Sarah Ballance, Charmaine Gordon, Goran Zidar, Karla Doyle, and Monica Enderle Pierce. Thank you all for stopping by and happy reading! :)

Weekend Writing Warriors - Second Chance Succubus - Straight Story

Welcome to the Weekend Writing Warriors, a list of authors showcasing their work for all and sundry, on Sundays. Thank you so much for visiting and if you choose to comment, I really appreciate it. Most of these snippets are unedited, works in progress, and while my snippets aren't consecutive, they are in order within the story.

Today, I'm offering a snippet from my work in progress, a cross-over paranormal romantic suspense with BDSM elements, entitled Second Chance Succubus. CSI Chayse Wolffe neither trusts nor likes succubae, and with a murder in her club, he's sure she's lying to him about the body.

“What makes you assume I’m lying to you, CSI Wolffe?”

“Three things, actually, Lady Aislynn.” He tried to keep the growl out of his voice, but his animosity for her kind coupled with the lying stretched his patience thin. “First, he had fresh bruising all over his body that couldn’t have come from one of the dancers with the whole 'no touch' rule. Second, his genitals were severely mutilated by some sort of knife or weapon not usually kept in a 'strip club'. And third, he’d been completely drained of blood from a puncture of his left femoral artery, but there was no blood on his clothes or the chair where he was found. That means he was moved.”

Chayse crossed his arms over his chest. “So, do you want to change your statement, Lady Aislynn?”

Sorry, that was nine, but the pause was needed. And Aislynn does have some explaining to do. ;) There are several great authors on the Weekend Writing Warrior list and a few of my favorites are Sarah Ballance, Paula Martin, Goran Zidar, Karla Doyle, and Lila Shaw. Thank you all for stopping by and happy reading! :)

Weekend Writing Warriors - New Start, Fresh Face

Howdy do! I'm new to the Weekend Writing Warriors, a list of authors showcasing their work for all and sundry, on Sundays. I used to be part of Six Sentence Sunday and now that it has ended, wanted a new place to post snippets. So here I am.

Today, I'm offering a snippet from my work in progress, a cross-over paranormal romantic suspense with BDSM elements, entitled Second Chance Succubus. In last week's snippet, Lady Aislynn saw the twin werewolves come in. This is the same scene from CSI Chayse's perspective, and Chayse hates succubae with a capital H.

“Come on, let’s get this over with,” Chayse grumbled. He didn’t want to return to the strip club again, but his brother insisted it was the only way they’d get any real answers.

Nik pushed past him and stood for a moment to let his eyes adjust after the searing brightness of the Las Vegas summer outside. Chayse scented the succubus’ approach as the sounds of slender heels ripping at the carpeted floor reached his ears.

Just like she’ll rip your heart out and bleed you dry.

“Welcome, gentlemen.” Her voice spread a balm over every hurt in his soul, promising comfort and understanding, and he felt his brother’s tension relax.

Chayse kept his eyes on her boobs to keep from being snared by her seductive gaze.

That's a pretty good excuse for looking at her breasts. ;) There are several great authors on the Weekend Writing Warrior list and a few of my favorites are Sarah Ballance, Paula Martin, Goran Zidar, and Gem Sivad. Thank you all for stopping by and happy reading! :)
