NEW RELEASE: Carreg -- Earth Dragons, Book One

Carreg, Drakon of the House of Earth Dragons, knows his mate the second he spies the human on the grounds of his Scottish Castle. He lures Liam closer, hoping to unlock the memories that might lie dormant in the man’s head—memories of being in Carreg’s arms during past incarnations.

Liam McDaniel grew up an orphan and raised by nuns in the small village of Lochraven. There he’ll forever be in the shadow of his past. When he finds a journal outlining the location of a treasure hidden in Dunwoodie Castle, he plans to seek it out and use it to free himself. Only he comes face to face with a man he can’t ignore and memories of other lives that fill him with emotion and need unlike anything he’s ever experienced.

Carreg learns of the human’s plans—his mate planned to take the infamous Earth Dragon Heart, one of eight stones given to each house millennia ago. Only Liam isn’t the only one searching for the stone. A threat from the past also needs the stones for his own plans and is willing to use Liam to get what he wants.

Excerpt:
His heart stuttered in his chest, the air knocked from his lungs. Carreg stared into the eyes of the human, the man just as handsome as every incarnation before him. His body responded, heating with the need to claim.

The human frowned below him, but said nothing. He didn’t demand Carreg get off him, nothing. They stared at one another, their bodies entwined. Carreg’s cock thickened against the man’s stomach. After a few heartbeats, Carreg could feel the man below him rock hard as well. Soon thereafter, a blush covered the human’s face. It was the same male he’d spied in the market. Darker hair, but with Dominic’s looks. He was flesh and blood, not a figment of Carreg’s imagination. 

“Who are ye?” he spat, the brogue slipping out unfettered.

“Liam. Liam McDaniel.” The Scot’s voice was deep and rich, like whiskey. And so very like Dominic’s.

Liam. Carreg liked the ring to it. “And what are you doing here, Liam McDaniel?” 

Liam glanced over at the castle. “I like takin’ pictures of Dunwoodie. The groundskeeper has always allowed me ta sneak a few. I dinnea know anyone was home.” The last sentence was almost a whisper, heat flooding the man’s gaze.

Carreg rose to his knees and eyed the camera hanging from around the man’s neck. He wanted to pull his mate close, but he couldn’t scare the man. “Pictures, eh? I’d like to see what you’ve taken.”

Liam sat up and grasped his camera, looking slightly ashamed. “This’s an antique I bought at the second hand shop. Still uses film. You’d have to wait until I developed the negatives.”

“I didn’t know anyone still developed pictures,” Carreg said, rising to his feet. If the human liked antiques, then Carreg was plenty old enough for him. Carreg offered the man a hand up. As soon as the human touched him, he felt excitement zip through him. This was indeed his mate. His dragon roared in his chest, demanding Carreg claim what was his.

“Sometimes new isn’t always better,” Liam answered. “I like developin’ the negatives and playin’ around in the darkroom when I can. Can’t do that with a digital camera. Plus those other cameras are a pretty penny.”

I’ll buy you all the cameras you want. Build you the dark room of your dreams. Anything you wish. Carreg continued to stare, even though he sensed the human was growing uncomfortable. His mind whirled with things to say, other than the ones coming to mind. “I can’t imagine it’s easy to find the things you need for that darkroom.” 

“Nae, it’s not. And twice as expensive ‘cause there’s nae longer a demand for the chemicals and such,” Liam said, smiling down at his camera. He looked up and the smile nearly brought Carreg to his knees. “But you’ll do just about anythin’ for somethin’ ya love, eh?”

An answering smile spread over Carreg’s lips. “That you will.”

“So yer alright with me comin’ ‘ere and takin’ pictures?”

“Anytime,” Carreg answered. “You’re welcome… anytime.”

Liam’s gaze locked on Carreg’s, and he felt as if the man was about to ask him something and thought better of it. A few seconds later, his lips twitched. “Would it be askin’ too much ta see about gettin’ some pictures indoors? I’ve always wanted ta see the inside of Dunwoodie.”

Why not? It’s your home. “Would you like to come in now?” 

The human looked in his bag for a moment. “I’m out of film and only ‘ave one frame left on this one. Maybe tomorrow, if that’s alright?”

Carreg’s dragon roared. The beast didn’t want Liam to leave. Dunwoodie was his home. He belonged under Carreg’s protection. “Sure. Tomorrow.”

“I’ll bring ya some pictures I took… in thanks,” Liam said with a heated smile. “Oh, and might I ask yer name, sir?”

“Carreg.”

Liam frowned slightly, his smile widening. “The man who bought this place at the turn of the century was named Carreg.”

“My grandfather,” Carreg fibbed, shocked his mate knew the history. “Dunwoodie, like my name, has been passed down through the last century or so.”

“Ah,” Liam answered. “I’ll return with those pictures and more film in the mornin’. I best be goin’.”

“Tomorrow morning it is,” Carreg answered, his gaze roaming over the man.

Liam lifted his camera, aiming it at Carreg. He snapped a last photo, a wicked smile on his face. “Can’t wait.”

The human spun and started walking across the well-manicured grounds. He looked over his shoulder at Carreg, staring with heat in his eyes. Carreg’s claws slid into his palms as he stood stock-still and prevented his dragon from claiming the human then and there. 

Tomorrow. He’ll be back tomorrow.

As Liam walked out of view, Carreg turned back to Dunwoodie, finally happy he’d returned. He reached out and caressed the cool stone before walking back inside through the heavy wooden doors.

August 2015 Writing Update

I've really done a piss poor job of posting this past month, but in my defense, I've been under the wire and trying to get an extra project done within my already crazy schedule.

The success of Bound to Two Bears has also been amazing.  This book was the first to get me a #1 Bestseller on Amazon AND All Romance.  I love all my readers and am amazed that you guys were so excited to read my first book in that series.

Next up is Carreg (OUT TOMORROW), the first in the Earth Dragon series.  For all you Fire Dragon fans out there -- I heard you!  I know you've been waiting a while for this, but when the Fire Dragon series only did so-so, I took that as a sign that people weren't interested in my dragons.

How wrong I was.  Between the emails and messages on Facebook, I realized you guys wanted more, so it's coming!  Carreg was a "basterd" though... (and I say bastard in the accent and tone of his Scottish lover)... and the dragon made it difficult to tell his tale.  He didn't want to share and many a day I sat looking at an blank screen or started writing a story and knowing it was all hogwash.  I started over four times, but the last one -- it was the one.

I am pleased with Carreg's story and hopefully you will be, too.  You'll also meet Graig and Bonn, the other two dragons in this trilogy.  They'll have their stories to come, as well.

After Carreg, Claimed by Two Bears is coming.  This will be Paul's tale and I can't wait for you to read it.  Raised by bears, the human has an interesting take on their world, and his place in it.

I'll have a special cover reveal post about that coming soon.



And I haven't forgotten about my cowboys or those who loved them.  There will be more Tales from Triple M Ranch to come.

Monday Mancraving (NSFW)

I've been hunkering down in my writing cave as of late, on deadline for too much and haven't posted any man candy lately.

Let me rectify that.  Hopefully one or both will allow me some forgiveness for my absence.

NEW RELEASE: Welcome to Bear Mountain -- Bound by Two Bears

Today's the day!  Bound by Two Bears is here.  Meet bear shifters Royce and Jared and their human mate, Carson.


Newly dumped Carson Davies decides the vacation he’d planned to take his girlfriend on—in hopes of fixing their troubled relationship—is the perfect getaway he needs to clear his head. A few days of solitude, hiking along picturesque Bear Mountain is just what he thinks he needs to move on. But as soon as he arrives, he’s shocked by the sensual reaction he has to the two owners. The two male owners. Carson has never been attracted to a man, and he fights the sensation tooth and nail. 

Royce and Jared know their mate as soon as he walks in the door of the main lodge. They’re ready to claim what’s theirs, but know they need to be careful. The man sees himself as straight, but that’s the least of their problems. They’ll need to show him their true nature, their inner bear, and hope it doesn’t send the man packing. 

The shifters have just three days before the human is scheduled to go home. In a short span, they’ve got to show Carson how bound they all are and hope they can seduce the man into surrendering.

July 2015 Writing Update

July started off with the release of His Skittish Sub, A JLC Construction Story, 5.  This is Damien's tale -- for those of you who might not have read Six Men and a Wedding -- Damien is Golden's best friend from college.

Damien Rosetta comes to his best friend’s wedding with the date from hell. Of course, that’s the perfect time for fate to put the man of his dreams in his path, the very moment he can’t do a thing about it. Damien can’t get the man off his mind, and when fate finds another way to bring the pair together, Damien isn’t taking no for an answer.

Lucas Cullen was supposed to meet Damien at the bachelor party, but chickens out before the night barely begins, never meeting the man. One look at the sexy Damien, and Lucas’ shyness takes over. When he gets a second chance at the wedding, his tongue ties in twenty different knots and he blows another shot. Friends orchestrate one more meeting, knowing the third time’s gotta be a charm.

Damien is entranced. He can think of nothing but Lucas and having the man, but he’s thwarted at every turn. Can Lucas get over his shyness and surrender before it’s too late? 


Mid-month, I'll be introducing a new series -- Bear Mountain.  This story wasn't supposed to come out until August, but I had to make a change in the schedule due to editing issues with Carreg.  And it's past time I did some bear shifters, right?  I've been itching for this story to come for some time now and I'm excited to unveil it.

You'll soon get the chance to meet Carson, Royce, and Jared and spend time with them on Bear Mountain.  This tale will have plenty of the BDSM and action you're accustomed to.  It will also be gay for him, or rather gay for them, as the case is for my two bears.

After Bear Mountain, I'll be wrapping up Carreg, the first Earth Dragon book and getting that out FINALLY!

I'm also working on a special project for a new publisher. More on that to come.  Just know the title will be coming out around October under the "Wicked" line.

Yes, there will be more in the Triple M Ranch stories to come, and Jason will get a JLC Story, too.

Have a great July... it's looking like a scorcher!
