Dragon-warrior
Venom lives in self-imposed isolation. Cursed by his toxic touch, he is deadly
to anyone who has contact with him for too long. Set apart from others and
hounded by intense loneliness, he craves the lasting connection he believes he
cannot possess. Until a chance encounter with a sultry mortal offers a ray of
hope…
Evelyn
Foxe is the woman of Venom’s every desire, but she’s too busy running from the
Russian mob to think about love. As she accepts Venom’s offer to help her
escape her precarious situation, she’s skeptical, afraid that he’s in league
with those sent to harm her. But when a biological weapon is unleashed in her
hometown, Evelyn is forced to trust Venom—or risk the dangers of going it
alone.
Will
they survive the firestorm that rages around them? And can they pull from the
ashes a love that will defy all the odds and last through the ages?

When technology fulfills every dream, reality
becomes a nightmare.
Below the streets of New State, the undergrounders
fight to remain free of the technological control of the world above. Every
night, Yara risks her life fighting New State’s deadliest weapons, the drones.
Half human and half machine, their living half tortured until everything human
is gone, the drones have only one objective. Kill. And they do it with exacting
precision.
Yara is good at her job and committed to her
raids on New State. Until one of those raids brings her face-to-face with
Joshua, a New State citizen who doesn’t quite fit her preconceived
expectations. After a couple of awkward encounters, he shows her the meaning of
hooking up—a computer simulation that allows people to live out their
fantasies—without the complication of emotional entanglements or physical
reality. But what Yara feels for Joshua is very real. And it’s punishable by
law.
As she and Joshua grow closer, she convinces him
to leave New State for her underground cause. But as the unrest between New
State and the underground escalates, and the drones move in to destroy her
world, nothing goes as planned. Families are arrested, loyalties are strained,
and Yara’s forced to choose between her people and her feelings. The wrong
choice could mean the end of her people, and reality could slip away—forever...

Six on Sunday - QITIRIN
***
1. Once he reached the Barrok River bridge, it was
normally a two and a half hour trek to the cabin. Today, it
was closer to four hours before Joshua traipsed up the side of the mountain to
where his place was located. It had gone dark an hour ago, and storm clouds
were blocking out whatever light could be gleaned from the night sky.
Regardless, he had trekked in near pitch black before. It wasn't the smartest
thing to do, considering most large predators did their hunting after sundown.
But he had no choice. Those two idiots who'd confronted him at Casey's had put
a serious dent in his schedule, delaying his return.
2. Joshua's hands froze on the wood stock as a
nearly human scream of anguish came from outside the cabin. Instinctively, he
grabbed the gun and hit the floor, freezing in place. Heart pounding, beads of
sweat coated his skin. A thin trail of salty perspiration dribbled down the
side of his face. The scream came again, forcing him to squeeze his eyes shut.
3. He stopped, his hand on the door latch.
"What am I doing?" He took a step back as realization sank in.
"What am I doing? What am I thinking? Why am I even arguing with myself
about this? Get your shit together, Cobb! She doesn't exist. She never
existed." He gave the rope another glance. "Come on, Cobb. Get
fucking, freaking real here! I must have imagined it all. There isn't
any shape-shifting wolf girl. There's no such thing!"
4. Silently, she moved toward, pressing herself
into the blanket he held open. Automatically, his arms went around her,
enveloping her within the quilt as she molded her body against his. He realized
she was tall. The top of her head bumped his nose when she nuzzled the mat of
hair peeking above the neck his shirt. Her breath, like a warm, moist mist,
tickled. And as she lifted her face, pulling one arm from her warm cocoon to
wrap around his neck, he hesitated for only a moment, then readily lowered his
lips to hers.
5. He brought her lips to his and folded his arms
around her to keep her from getting too chilled. Their kiss was deep, shadowing
their fear and worry. Rocking together on the ground, they let the terror of
the past quarter hour drain away. Until, reluctantly, he pulled away from her
and gazed into her tear-filled eyes. He glanced over her, looking for any
injury.
6. "I may not be an alpha, but I sure as hell
will protect what is mine. And Qitirin is mine. Other thing, Annon, your secret
is safe with me. You have nothing to worry about. I will do whatever it takes
to keep knowledge of the loup garou safe because, by doing so, I can keep
Qitirin safe. So rest assured and take your pack and move on. Find some place
you feel is best for your family, and leave us in peace."Excerpt and buy links.

Scarred and traumatized, ex-Marine Sergeant Joshua Cobb can no longer function amid normal civilization. He's retreated to the mountains of Alaska to live in solitude, where he can battle his personal demons in peace.
Life is harsh in the untamed wild, especially when he has to face other creatures who are also trying to survive. But the bears and wolves and other dangerous animals are no match for the two-legged variety who see Joshua as easy prey.
He has no idea that the injured wolf he rescues will become more than a companion. It will also save his life, and show him a love he only believed was possible in fairy tales.
Because the wolf, Qitirin, is more human than anyone could imagine.
Warning! Contains ill-fitting clothes, inhumane traps, actionable threats, banishment, pissed-off bears, and a way of life that demands both undying love and the ultimate sacrifice.

Queen or the dead will rise against the blood drinkers and man. The Witch
will be the right arm of the Queen, the truest weapon of destruction. The

will grow in pure heart as long as she remains true to the One. A love
will survive for time but only if blood does not reach the Chalice.
