Anthology to raise funds for breast cancer

Shades of Pink 2018 cover

I’ve been lucky that my family hasn’t been touched by breast cancer. But, when I was in my 20s, I worked with a remarkable older woman who was a breast cancer survivor. She was sweet, kind, dedicated, and a hard worker. Hildie volunteered at the organization where I worked once a week until the breast cancer returned. She happily stuffed envelopes or collated mailings for us, always with a smile and kind words for all. Her death hit us all hard. At her funeral, her oldest grandchild, a college student, spoke about how wonderful his grandmother was, barely holding himself together. I went through multiple tissues.

So, I dedicate my story, Waking Her Wolf, to Hildie.

You can find this story in the Shades of Pink (Vol 3) anthology, a collection of new short stories by more than 30 Romance authors who want to support breast cancer research. The anthology will only be available during October 2018. If you make a donation, of any amount, you’ll receive the anthology as a thank-you. If you preorder the story this month, you’ll receive download instructions on September 30th.

My story, Waking Her Wolf, is the prequel short story to a new series set in the world of my Shifter Hunters Ltd. trilogy. It introduces new characters and reacquaints readers with some characters from my book, Wolves of Paris. I hope you enjoy it, and I hope you get a sense of relief and accomplishment from supporting this worthy cause.

Sexy Snippet Saturday: Waking her Wolf

Sexy Snippet Saturday

The kiss continued. His tongue ran across her lips and she opened. It was so sweet, so nice. And it had been so long since she’d kissed anyone.

She didn’t think about René, she didn’t think about her true feelings for Nico. She allowed herself to be lost in the kiss for the first time in two years.

His tongue slid against hers and she grew warm all over. She moaned into his mouth and the sound surprised her. She jumped back, away from him, her fingers touching her lips. Her body tingled and she knew what it wanted her to do. But she wasn’t ready.

“I’m sorry,” she said in a rush. “I shouldn’t have done that.”

His arms dropped from her and she immediately missed their warmth. Concern was once again etched into the hard lines of his ruggedly handsome face. “No, I’m sorry. Do you want me to walk you home? Or call you a cab?”

She shook her head vigorously. Her body was still on fire, and she wanted more.

Sexy Snippet from Waking Her Wolf, prequel short story to the Paris Harem series. Waking Her Wolf will be published in a charity anthology in October. Stay tuned for links (and a title)!
