A Dragon for December (Wiccan-Were-Bear Book 11) (14 page)

“I know I’m safe, but there’s a part of me
that’s terrified that there are people out in the world that are so
evil they’re trying to create drugs to force a mating heat,” she
said.

“I’m sorry that you were taken and hurt. I’m
sorry I failed to keep you safe.”

She growled softly, rubbing her cheek against
his chest. “You didn’t fail.”

He tipped her chin until she was looking at
him. He opened his mouth, but before he could speak, she rose on
her toes and kissed him. “You. Didn’t. Okay? Seriously. The dragons
who orchestrated things are the ones who failed at being good
people. I’m glad that no one else has to suffer. And more than
that, I’m thankful that the threat to your throne is gone for
good.”

“Has anyone ever told you that you’re an
excellent queen?” he teased, dipping his head to kiss her.

“I have your example to follow, and you’re a
pretty excellent king.”

He caught the subtle scent of her arousal as
he stared into her beautiful eyes. With a growl, he lifted her into
his arms. She giggled in surprise as she threw her arms around his
neck. “What are you doing?”

“It’s time for dessert.”

A Muse for Mishka (Wiccan-Were-Bear #12)

Mishka, the five-hundred-year-old vampire
master of the city of Cleveland, prides himself on having one of
the largest covens in the Midwest. Although he has a life envied by
many, the only thing he is missing is a mate. How to begin to find
the right female for himself is a mystery, and the lonely nights
are starting to get to him.

Musical muse Harmony Celeste has been
traveling the states for the last two years trying to find her
beloved mate. After a vision showed her with a golden-haired male
with fangs, she knows for sure that he’s a vampire, but his
location is a mystery. With her band in tow, she visits every major
vampire coven in the states and uses her muse power to not only
feed herself but also, hopefully, to find her mate.

When Mishka and Harmony meet, sparks will
fly, but they won’t be the only ones who notice. Human enemies have
never stopped watching, and they take every opportunity to try to
destroy vampires and those they love in the name of humanity. When
Harmony is taken, Mishka knows it’s only a matter of time before
she’s killed. He enlists every ally he has to get her back into his
arms.

This is a Wiccan-Were-Bear story with a
vampire who has been alone long enough, a muse who likes to play,
and an enemy who will stop at nothing until all vampires are wiped
from the face of the earth. Expect fangs, blood, and scorching sex
between a vampire and his beloved mate.

A Wish for Their Woman (Wiccan-Were-Bear
#13)

Teck Stalking Horse, a bear shifter with
Wiccan power, has spent the last few years dreaming about a female.
He has no idea who she is, but he’s going crazy with need. His twin
brother, Shy, has never had dreams about the pale-haired female,
and so Teck does his best to distance himself from his twin so he
doesn’t hurt him when he leaves the den to find his mate.

On a trip to visit their Aunt Daeton at the
secretive centaur city in Canada, Shy sees a young woman and is
consumed with talking to her. When he finds her alone and crying in
the woods, one touch reveals to him that she is his truemate.
Through their instant connection, Shy realizes she is also Teck’s
mate. While they puzzle over why she was hidden from Shy, a centaur
with a chip on his shoulder tries to take their mate from them, but
neither male is willing to let her go.

Kaya Iridian has felt out of place ever since
she was rescued by a bear shifter named Daeton and left at a hidden
centaur city. Her own family was killed, and she was grateful to be
taken in by the king and queen of the centaurs, but their
hospitality has just run out. She is to mate with a male of their
choosing or be banished forever from the city.

When she meets her mates, she finally feels
as though she belongs. On their way to take her to their home, a
betrayal will nearly destroy them all, and she’ll find herself
fighting for her life, and for the lives of her mates and their
family, with a power she didn’t know she had.

This book contains a young woman with a
mysterious past, two bears who are willing to share her, and the
power that unites the three of them. Expect sad goodbyes, magic,
tattoos, and a happily ever after worth dying for. This book
contains m/f/m interaction.
