In the Pacific Northwest, where life hurries to keep pace with technology, a re-animated bride named Josie struggles to escape her creator and to find her identity in the half-erased circuitry of her mind and body.
Assassin Bane Connor just wants to get the girl to the Zombie Underground and receive his payoff-a mental reset that will erase his memories as well as his guilt. But an attack by a rival faction derails his rescue, and the wide-eyed female whose circuitry requires a husband tears at his hardened heart and ignites desire like he’s never known.
Excerpt:
She picked up a bar of soap and her eyes widened. Normally Bane hated how newbies wondered at every damn thing—but this girl didn’t look stupid. She looked kind, excited, happy. The bar slipped out of her hands into the water and Bane watched as she dove head-first to find it. His hand left his dick to grab at the metal. He worried she might not know enough not to breathe under there.
Her head popped up again and she flipped her ebony mane from her face. A grin split her face. Damp curls of hair framed her cheeks, tangled at her shoulders, licked at her collarbone. She giggled and rolled the soap in her hands. Her eyelids fluttered as she smoothed the cream over her arms and up the long column of her neck.
Bane’s fingers traced over his lips as he watched her soap her body. He held his breath, silently urging her hand lower.
She obliged, skimming over the curve of her breasts before sliding her touch down her belly. Her palm dipped below the water and he lost sight of it, but her eyes fell to half-mast and her lips parted. When her arm reached farther, the girl’s eyes pressed tight as her mouth made a shape like an O.
Fuck! His legs swung out from under him and his fingertips barely caught on the thin ledge. Bane hung there for a moment, wondering whether to drop to the ground or pull back up. Despite his better judgment, he wedged his toe into a crack in the concrete wall and angled his body to push his torso higher until he once again peered like a letch through her window.
He shouted, finding her face right up to the glass. Her mahogany stare met his—surprised, curious, but not frightened. One corner of her mouth curled up into a lopsided, cherubic smile. She reached out a hand to the window and traced his face. When her fingertips covered his lips, her other hand reached up, stroking her own mouth.
Bane lost his grip, and with a winding thud, fell flat on his ass.

Can Cal let his heart guide him to a new love or will he walk away from the one man who is made to be his?
I am sooooo excited that finally, a new, never before been published Devon Falls book is coming-NEXT WEEK. *cue squeals and cheers*
I loved writing Michael and Dixie’s story and hope you enjoy it as well. Returning to Devon Falls at Halloween is fun and I got to revisit some of my favorite characters as well as tell a few surprises in store for a certain couple. *grins*
Here is a never before sneak peek excerpt of Michael and Dixie’s first kiss.
Moonlight and Magic
Devon Falls 5
Coming to Secret Cravings Publishing 12/21/2011
Tiger Shifter/Paranormal (M/F) Romance
Can a tiger shifter convince one stubborn woman that she is his for all time and show her that falling in love is just as sinful as a chocolate kiss?
Michael Barnes is a rare white were-tiger and is tired of roaming around the world alone. Meeting his destined mate was unexpected as well. Dixie Sinclair is fun, sexy, and everything he feels he doesn’t deserve. The past has a way of coloring a person’s life and it’s up to Michael to show Dixie that he is the one to hold her heart.
PG13 Excerpt:
Scene set up-Dixie is miffed her friends got Michael to walk her home and is confused by her reaction to him. Here is where he kisses her for the first time…
As her street loomed ahead of them, she stopped at the beginning of it and stuck her hand out. “Thanks for the escort, but since I’m almost home and nothing jumped out in front of me, I think I can handle getting to my house just fine.”
“Nope. I am to escort you to the house, not the street, Dixie,” the maddening man said as he looked at her with a smile on those luscious lips. Gritting her teeth, she tried to keep her frustration out of her face, but damn it all, she was old enough to walk home. It wasn’t like there was a crime wave in Devon Falls. Far from it.
Miffed, she stomped forward and tried not to hit the lug behind her. Of all the men in the world, I had to have one with a streak of chivalry in him she thought as her house finally came in view.
Breathing a sigh of relief, she turned and ran smack dab into the broad, hard chest…the chest her hands wanted to caress and explore among other parts of his body. A slight “oomph” came out of mouth as she looked up and felt herself drown under his gaze. It was like watching a movie in slow motion. She saw his face lean down and her one thought before those luscious lips settled on hers was Man, am I in trouble now.
****
Michael leaned forward. When he finally touched those kissable lips, he felt the spark that hit him the first time he touched her turn into an inferno. Pulling her close, he felt her body mold itself around him, fitting against his, and it was pure perfection. He couldn’t get enough of her. Kissing her was like diving into fire. She was a drug he craved, and he was determined to have it.
Feeling her kiss him back had him aching in more ways than one. Sliding his tongue along her lips had her gasping. Taking advantage of that, he slipped it in and began to duel with hers. The deep kisses made him want more, but before he took her against the trees, he gathered his last shred of control. With a last, deep kiss, he took a calming breath and leaned his head against hers, his breath choppy and his jeans a tad bit too tight at the moment.
Oh damn, I’m in heaven and hell, was Michael’s thought when he lifted his head to stare down into the eyes that seemed to change color, of a woman who called to the tiger within him. The tiger that was itching to claim his mate. If he didn’t know better, it was as if his inner beast had decided that Dixie was to be his and was making its demands known in more ways than one.
“”Damn” Michael whispered as he felt her hips sway against him, teasing him while she smiled seductively. It was enough to drive him wild. Visions of having her on her knees while he took her from behind had him melting on the spot.
Moonlight and Magic coming to Secret Craving’s Publishing December 26th, 2011.
I have a brand new series coming to Shadowfire Press in late 2011. It’s about the “What if your destined or fated mate isn’t who you thought it may be?” premise.
The first book is called Bewitched by Destiny and has a cranky, alpha panther shifter finding out that his destined mate is the aggravating witch next door. The one who hates all shifters and who’s spells seem to either start things on fire or blow things up. Let’s just say these two are like oil and water but man are they combustible.
Book 2 is tentatively called Betrayed by Destiny. It is about a cat shifter who finds himself dumped when his lover finds his destined mate and it’s NOT him. My first M/M story and one I am finding I have to write NOW!!! It has the main character named Maxwell who is a cat shifter and finds a new relationship with a lion shifter named Leo who, if Max will let him, to heal his shattered heart.
Book three hasn’t come to me yet but it does have a vampire, a fairy and a shifter.
Book 1 will be out November 2011, Book 2 in 2012 with book 3 in 2013. More information to be coming soon when I get it.
Working Title-A Forever Love
M/M Paranormal
Currently writing
Tagline: Can a broken man find the love destined to be his?
Blurb:
Maxwell Evermore thought his life was perfect. He had a wonderful mate in Jaden Creed, great friends and a good if boring job as a salesperson at an advertising firm. When he is sidelined by the leaving of his lover, his life over, Max finds that sometimes when one door closes, another opens & in this case with a lion shifter named Leo who will heal his shattered heart if Max will let him.
Sneak peek into this newest WIP-please pardon the mistakes, it’s a rough draft.
He was gone…away from me and the life we built together. He was never coming back and though I wanted to rail against the injustice of it all, I knew I would forgive and possibly live again. But right now all I wanted to do was cry a river of tears as the pain of the loss of my mate finally had me to my knees.
Whimpering, I tried to stand but my legs wouldn’t keep me up. The pain was too intense as I felt the connection with the man I loved with all my heart, Jaden, died a little more as each minute passed. The connection that brought me such comfort was completely gone within a matter of minutes as Jaden walked away from me and the love I had for him. I never felt this pain before in all my life. I thought I could withstand anything life through at me but this anguish was almost too much to bear. Feeling as though my heart would give up at any minute, I crawled over to the couch and hugged the pillow as the tears streamed from my eyes, wetting the fabric as I wailed against all the pain that welled inside me.
“Why, Jaden?” whispering as I rocked back and forth. “What was so bad about our life that you had to walk away from me? Our three years together?”
Jaden’s last words replayed in my head…I don’t love you anymore, Maxwell. I found someone else…my destined mate, a woman who will carry my young and I am determined to be with her. It was fun but we were never meant to be together in a forever kind of life, Max. Be well and eventually you will find the one meant to be yours. I am sorry, Max, for everything. I hope you can forgive me…eventually. A keening wail rose in my throat as those last words of Jaden’s played again, striking my heart with a piercing arrow, causing more tears to leak from my eyes. Never expecting the one man that professed to love you and want to be with you to break your heart…heck he shattered it in a million pieces.
Sniffling, Max wiped his face with his hands and lay against the couch, “So we were not destined mates but that doesn’t mean we didn’t love one another, damn it.” Throwing the couch pillow across the room in a fit of anger he saw it strike the vase Jaden picked up on one of their excursions at the antique shows. He watched it wobble back and forth, like it was on slow motion then fall off the stand and shatter into pieces. That crash had him screaming out loud as the pain of Jaden’s exit finally became real. The pain was all consuming and he didn’t know how long he stayed curled up on the couch alternating between whimpers, crying and fits of anger. He ignored the phone ringing, the pounding on his front door…everything and everyone. He wanted to be alone and wallow in the misery that his life had become.
He dimly heard the phone ring as his body shook uncontrollably. Moaning as his body felt like it had a thousand knives in it, he heard pounding at the door again and then a sharp crack as it flew open. He peered as a shape came at him…not recognizing the person who stood in the doorway of his living room, until the sharp smell of sandalwood and leather made him blink again.
“MAX…Where the fuck are you, man?” the voice seemed so far away and he flinched as the shadow of his best friend, Alexi, fell over him. “Damn man, you look like crap and you definitely need a shower.”
“Alexi….what…what are you doing here?” I uttered as I tried to focus but Alexi kept morphing into three people. His head hurt and his eyes couldn’t focus worth a damn.
“Do you know I have been trying to get a hold of you for over a week, Max? What the hell happened? Why are you holed up here like a hermit? Where’s Jaden? Why isn’t he here to help you?” Alexi’s voice moved over him in ebbs and waves…it felt like he was far away and before he could answer…the room went black as he fainted.
Did you ever open an exsisting manuscript, thinking you were finally going to get this book done and themuse goes…”Nope buddy, I decided we will work on this new story instead.” I had that happen to me this evening. Listening to some Josh Groban tunes, I was already to open my one book I needed to get done and WHAM! The muse pulled it from under me and shoved this scene in my face when Josh’s “Where you are” played. A broken man, a shattered heart and the scene flowed into over three thousand words in 20 minutes. The story wouldn’t let me go and I just had to finish writing it.
What came out of this burst of writing was a new book I am calling “The Forever Love” since no title is coming to me right now for it and it’s a M/M Paranormal about a cat shifter and a lion shifter finding their forever love after the heartbreak of a relationship.
I am thrilled over it and eager to see where it goes. Max and Leo are driving me nuts but in a good way. Now to explain tot hem I NEED to get this book done before I get tossed on my arse by my editor.
