When Raine Bowe volunteers for a sleep study for the extra cash, she didn't expect to wake in a lab or to be victimized by a mad scientist. She escapes with one objective--to find someone strong enough to wage war with the evil growing inside her.
Ryder Storm is a man with a reputation--the bad boy of his own universe. He doesn't take prisoners, won't give into a sweet smile, and doesn't cut his pack an inch of slack. He knows the desperate woman in his bar is his the moment he lays eyes on her. He'll give her anything she wants, except the one thing she's begging for. Death.
Raine enlists Ryder’s help to unravel the mystery surrounding the hours she lost in the lab and to help tame the beast inside her. In their search for answers, the road will lead them to a twisted experiment involving shifters, humans, and the creation of the ultimate Alpha. He's ready for the adventure and she's ready for her answers. Neither are ready for the lust that calls down from the mating moon. But a wolf knows its mate, and an alpha will not stop until he or she gets what they want.
Giveaways…and more giveaways
If you’ve gotten to know me, you know I
love to give stuff away. Seriously. It’s like an addiction. The thing is, I
love to show appreciation to readers for not just reading my books, but for
sharing it with others so they too may try them. If it were not for readers, I
wouldn’t sell a thing. So I feel giveaways are a great way to say thank you. My
favorites are the parties where everyone plays games and has fun and then they
can win super fun stuff like swag or other books. I also love having month long
giveaways for things like sharing and have big prizes like a Kindle Paperwhite.
But my favorites are the random giveaways for people who like to share my
stuff. I love the giveaways and the readers participating do too. And a lot of
times new people find out about my book that didn’t know me before. Giveaways
are fun all around. Now if I could just keep them to one at a time vs. having
multiples going on. I am addicted.
Excerpt
Run!
The loud hammering of Raine’s
heart drowned out the single word bouncing around her mind—and the dogs barking
at her back. Their angry growls faded the faster she ran. A little further.
Just a little more, and she’d be home free.
Trees swooshed past her with
every step she took away from the small isolated facility. She ignored the
hospital gown swinging against her legs and the blood dripping down her arms
from the torn IVs. Barefoot, the rocks bit into the soles of her feet. None of
that mattered. She had to survive. Her life depended on getting as far away
from that place as possible.
Inhaling the comforting scent
of mud, trees, and the wild, she barely heard the barking over the breeze rustling
through the willows with each step she put between them. At any other time,
she’d have dissected her reaction to the forest. Not now. And she didn’t stop.
No way was she getting captured again without a fight.
Air beat in and out of her
lungs in tandem with the pounding of her feet on the rocky ground. Moonlight
filtered through the branches overhead, highlighting her path. Her hair caught
on the tree limbs, snatching at the loose strands. Some of the hanging vines
prodded her arms and stabbed her sides. Her breath hitched, and she missed a
step, lurching forward. Something inside her tightened. Her arms swayed and her
core muscles flexed. Before she face planted, everything balanced out. She
blinked. More scared now than she’d ever been in her life. Something controlled
her body and it had reflexes far superior to a normal human.
Moisture gathered in her
eyes, blurring her vision. She blinked it away. Panic would only get her
caught.
Raine glanced at the moon. It
had shifted twice—now in front of her, rather than behind. She stilled. The
trees rustled with the wind. An owl hooted. But she still didn’t hear the
annoying bay of the dogs.
Ragged breaths beat hard in
her ears. A horn’s blare sounded in the distance. Fear and excitement gave her
a burst of energy. Cars meant help. She urged her body faster.
Street lights peeked through
the trees. Air panted out of her chest. A second car honked, speeding past
another. She was almost there. So close. Thank god. She was going to make it.
Slowing down at the edge of a
hill, she darted glances around the now quiet street. No people milled about or
walked around. Nothing. A big store, one she recognized from the one time she’d
gotten lost in the shadier side of town, sat a block to her right. The sudden
quiet made sense now. Nothing good happened this far south of Tempting Eats. It
was known as the dead side. The thought alone gave her chills. Women went
missing…all the time. That had been enough to keep her uptown in
suburbia-peace-nation.
She glanced around, searching
for anyone who might be waiting for her or even any of the dangerous men her
neighbors said roamed the streets, but there was nothing, not a single being.
Her feet hit the pavement in a rush. Once across the street, she hid inside a
dark alley. The stench of rotting food and piss coated the air with a thick
blanket of disease and chaos. Her throat convulsed, and the acidic taste of
bile hit the back of her tongue.
Retreating,
she took several steps toward the end of the street to a small motel. Its yellow,
neon Vacancy sign blinked on and off with a buzz. A man’s yell pushed her to
slink into the dark. The sound came from the shadows in front of the motel.
