WIP | Mina Carter

There's nothing like a bit of Gargoyle lovin'... Unless it's double the lovin'

Iliona is used to dealing with all kinds of paranormals thanks to her job with the Paranormal Protection Agency. Even so, an office break in by a banshee nearly has her heading for the pearly gates, and she needs a little 'me time' with her live-in, live on the building lover, a gargoyle named Cal.

But Cal's got some plans of his own. Plans that involve Iliona, a candle-lit room and some up close and personal time with himself and his 'twin' Granite.

Two sets of hands, two ridged tongues, two hot bodies...Being caught between a rock and a hard place has never been so hot.

It's never easy staying ahead of the pack…

Since ditching her pack after an offer she “couldn't” refuse from her tyrannical pack alpha, Penny’s been on the run. As the full moon approaches, so does her toughest challenge yet—her heat phase. Rather than letting her animal instincts rule, Penny hatches a plan that involves a basement and chains of the non-kinky kind.

Cade Steele has other ideas. Wolf enough to match her animal instinct, and alpha enough to claim her, he's determined not to let the little she-wolf face her heat on her own.

Then Penny’s past finally catches up with her, and her ex-alpha isn't taking no for an answer. The question is, with their lives on the line, can Penny and Cade answer the call of the wild?

Gargoyles guard...among other things...

Iliona's had a rough day, so the last thing she wants is a whiny ex on her doorstep throwing accusations about which of her co-workers she's sleeping with. When he starts throwing punches and one of her hunky gargoyle co-workers rushes to her rescue, Iliona is more interested in what exactly he's been doing on the ledge outside her bedroom window...

And whether he's interested in more than watching.

The World after the End of the World will never be the same again…

Ten years after the end of the world, ex-soldier Mason and a small group of humans defend their fortified town against creatures of myth and legend made real. But just surviving is getting harder every day.

Andy has a few screws loose. Driven by inhuman instincts, she tracks the newly and soon-to-be dead and dispatches their souls to the afterlife. Her ambition in life is to find her next hit of coffee and one day, maybe, sleep in a real bed again.

Then Andy’s instincts bring her to Sanctuary and its enigmatic leader, Mason, and even the world after the end of the world will never be the same again…

Captured by the enemy, the last thing he expected was to find love…

Once a Colonel Lyon is now a rebel, a wanted man with a price on his head. Worse, he’s a Leo-class military grade cyborg. Which means the price on his head is dead, or alive. On his way to a medical facility for dissection, he expects nothing but pain, and degradation from his captors.

He doesn’t expect nurse Samara Williams, a woman who was brought up not to judge a book by its cover and to see people for their worth,. Disgusted by the treatment Lyon is receiving, she's determined to take care of his injuries and make his stay on the ship as comfortable as possible. But Samara is a nurse, not a trained commando used to dealing with cyborgs. When she neglects to ensure his cuffs are locked tight, all hell breaks loose.

A hot, sensual sort of hell she’d trade her soul for…

The last thing she wants is a wedding ring...

It’s Asharra De Silve’s wedding day, and this real life faery princess isn’t looking forward to meeting her prince charming at the altar. Sold to the highest bidder as a virgin faery princess, she’s not sure how to tell the unsuspecting prince that he’s been had by false advertising. She was certainly a faery, and a princess, but the bit about being a virgin...?

What she doesn’t expect is for her one night stand to turn up before the ceremony....or the wild sex...or the fact her bridegroom turns out to be the exact opposite of what she expected...

Once a hunter, always a hunter...

Gwen and her young lover, Jasen, have been on the road for six months. With Jasen infected, they need to find the Lycan who bit him before time runs out. But with each full moon, the pack eludes them, forcing Gwen to take desperate measures.

Once a hunter, unless you're something else...

To save Jasen, Gwen must walk on the darker side of her nature and use skills she swore never to use again. Because there's more to this hunter than meets the eye, and once pandora's box is opened...life will never be the same again.

One night, and the man of her dreams...

Fresh from a bitter divorce, Kyla isn't ready to date yet. But when she's seated next to hollywood heart-throb Alex Richards, she figures another fantasy or two can't hurt. When the proverbial hits the fan and she ends up in his lap like some crazy fan-girl, she flees in embarrassment, leaving her shoe behind.

But then Alex turns up in the same hotel bar, and invites her to his room to recover her wayward footwear. She doesn't expect him to open the door half-naked, or have far more planned that just giving her back her lost property...

One night, one heart-throb and years of fantasies to fulfill. Who says a girl can't have her cake and eat it?

Even a rogue can be brought to heel by love...

Major-General Lyssa Ryland is the rogue of the fleet. Feared by half the admiralty and wanted by the other half, she commands one of the most fearsome battleships in the fleet and with friends in the largest mercenary clans in the galaxy, no one dare mess with her.

Then an order is passed down; the rogue of Telat-moire must be tamed, by whatever means necessary. Empath JJ Meyers is the sacrificial lamb. Expecting a dried up, crabby nun of a woman he takes the chance for a one night stand on the base the night before his new assignment...

Only to find out the unforgettable woman he spent the night with is no- other than his new assignment. And this time, she's not welcoming him with open arms…

Perfect Mate

Monsters do exist...and they’re the good guys.

Lillian Rosewood leads an ordinary, boring life working as the manager of a psychiatric hospital. The highlights of her day, other than her skinny hot chocolate, are the hunky guards who work in the secure section. Until a late night emergency is wheeled in.

Captain Jack Harper is insane, drop-dead gorgeous...and just had his abdomen shredded. Despite the fact they're not an emergency room, Lillian can't turn him away and risk a death on her hands. Unable to get the handsome soldier out of her mind, Lillian sneaks into the restricted area to check on him. What she finds is beyond belief. Somehow Jack has managed to heal himself from a near fatal wound in mere hours.

When one of the doctors, Walker, attempts to rape her, things go from bad to worse. In the blink of an eye, Jack is loose and Walker is dead... and Lillian must accept a truth about her rescuer that will change her world forever. What if the patients aren't insane? What if their stories of secret government experiments and monsters are true?

Warning: Contains blood, mayhem and nude werewolves operating heavy weaponry. Large amounts of sarcasm, and smart-ass vampires may offend some readers. No civilian hospital staff were harmed in the making of this story.

Coming 2012 from Samhain Publishing!

Solar Storm

Law of the roads says she has to rescue him...

Ten years after her spoilt, rich-girl life fell apart Rhys Devin is a woman with secrets. She's changed her name, her face and her attitude. Fast-talking and hard as nails, she sails her ship, the Grey Lady, on the most dangerous solar roads in the universe and has a reputation for getting the job done. Times are tough, but she stays on the roads, sailing alone and always watching over her shoulder.

He was the last man she wanted to see...and the only man she'd ever wanted.

Kelwin Sayeed is a rebel without a cause...or a soldier without a war. Retro-engineered for combat, he's a retired War-Commander spending his retirement money on expensive baubles and wild hobbies. His latest, a solar flyer called Artemis, is his most ambitious. Determined to prove himself to the famously reclusive Solar Sailors he takes the untried craft on the most dangerous road of all; Icaria.

When the Artemis suffers catastrophic computer failure Kelwin expects rescue. After all, the law of the road says no sailor will leave another to die out in the golden spray. He expects his rescuer to be a sailor born and bred on the roads, skin wizened like beaten gold. He doesn't expect her to have a voice that does things to his body that should be illegal, or to have soft, golden-tinted skin that sparks erotic fantasies in his Euphoria-marked brain. He doesn't expect her to be the bride who ran from him a decade ago...

She was the one who got away. Now he wants her back.

Warning: Contains a self re-invented woman with a low tolerance for bullshit and a tendency to snark, a hot former soldier with a brutal approach to protecting what's his, and a solar-kissed romance that spans years.

Hi! read Prince’s Courtesan and loved it! Great characters…Seth and Jai had great chemistry. Love Alpha males and tough girls who get under their skin. Really liked that she could take care of herself and that he was so not expecting that. LOL!

So…when can I expect Jareth’s story? Hope you have a girl that will really tie him in knots and lead him on a great chase.

  Hi Beth!
  
  Thanks for stopping by and I’m glad you enjoyed Prince’s Courtesan! Jareth’s story is on my ‘to write’ list so hopefully soon. And oooh yes, she’ll tie him in knots *evil grin*. At some points he’s not going to know which way is up or down, and mistakes? He’ll be making more than a few! The working title is Harem Mistress, I’ll get some details up soon
