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.

Tori’s Teaser Tuesday: A Wolf Hunted

As she approached the salon, a deep, rumbling man’s voice she didn’t recognize emanated from the room. Curious, she entered cautiously, Catherine on her heels.

At the sight of the owner of the deep, rumbling voice, Dany stopped dead and Catherine walked into her.

“Sorry,” Dany mumbled, moving into the room so as not to block her cousin.

In front of her, sitting on the leather couch with her brother, was a huge, muscular man with short dark hair, tan skin, and melty chocolate brown eyes.

He noticed her and stood.

Dany was not a short woman, but this guy towered over her. From his smell, she understood why. He was a bear shifter. The breed of bears known in the Pyrenees region of southwestern France.

Her brother, Lucien, scrambled to a standing position, his gaze darting between Dany and the stranger. “Oh, Guy, this is my sister, Dany. Dany, this is my friend from university, Guy Elizondo.”

“It’s a pleasure to meet you,” Guy said, leaning down to kiss her cheeks.

The touch of his cheek against hers sent electrical sparks through her body. But why? she wondered. She had Arnaud. She wasn’t looking for something else. She was happy with him, wasn’t she?
