Excerpt:
Flagstone paths wound past lush greenery and colorful blossoms, leading to reading nooks that were already in use. On the far side, a door opened into another garden, this one with native plants and trees thriving behind a high stone wall.
The flagstone path was barely visible in some places where vegetation spilled over the edges of the stones. Dana followed the left path when it parted, stopping when they reached a sitting area by a water feature with a cute miniature cottage beside it. The surface of the little pool was covered by white water lilies whose broad leaves floated on the surface. A cute little marsh frog was lounging on one of them.
“That’s Omar,” Dana informed her, pointing to the amphibian, who blinked his yellow eyes when he heard his name. “I don’t know the entire story, but supposedly he’s cursed.”
“Cursed?” Astra repeated. “As in, he’s not really a frog?”
“Not an ordinary frog, anyway. He’s been here for years and years, way longer than frogs usually live. And he knows things. Understands things. His name, for one.”
“Maybe he’s a student who failed to master his powers. Rhys—my father—said I had to stay here until I mastered mine, but what happens when someone doesn’t? I mean, do they go home in disgrace, or are they exiled to a commune made of failures? How long do students stay here, anyway? Who’s been here the longest?”
Dana bit her lip. “Just guessing, I’d say Maurelle. Purebloods have four elements to master, so they’re usually here longer. You won’t be here long,” she predicted. “Not the way you picked up torching. It took me a week’s worth of practice before I could light one finger, let alone ten like you did.”
Astra hoped Dana was right, that she wouldn’t be here long. It was only her first day here, and she was already missing her mother and grandma.
An Amazon #1 best-selling anthology from the writing teams of Brian McCord and Christina McCord, S.I. Carpenter and Anne Rainey, Claire Marta & Nia Farrell, and MC Baker and Alannah Lawrence.

Excerpt:
Scout sat against the cell wall, listening to the sounds beyond the bolted door. Vivi was asleep beside her, huddled under the thin worn blanket one of their kidnappers had provided. They’d been held captive for three days now, Day Four by her inner calendar.
A guard brought them meals on a tray, but they had seen no sign of their leader. Scout had to wonder if this was a tactic to soften them up. Keep them guessing at what would happen. She hadn’t missed the male look of interest in the biker’s eyes every time he collected the tray. It turned her stomach.
Through the metal bars of the window of their room, she had a clear view of the Louisiana ghost town, where jackal shifters wearing Death’s Head MC colors patrolled the empty streets.
To pass the time, she had been telling stories to Vivi, who was quiet and subdued. It made Scout’s heart ache to see the little girl in distress. She did her best to keep her distracted and her young mind off what might happen.
Footsteps coming from the corridor beyond the cell brought Scout’s thoughts back to awareness. As the bolts of the door were drawn back, Vivi awoke. Scrambling up, the child burrowed into her side, seeking protection.
Wrapping her arm around her small shoulders, Scout kept her close.
The door opened, and Tazz, one of the bikers, appeared in the doorway carrying a tray while his twin, Jazz, held it open. Identical in appearance, they were both smirking.
“Breakfast time,” Tazz announced in a Cajun drawl. “Better eat up. The Prez is due.”
Scout’s stomach clenched at the news. “Please, just let us go. Can’t you see how frightened my daughter is? What if she was your little sister or child? Would you want to see her so scared?”
The jackal shifter laughed. “She ain’t yours. We’ve been looking for her. Venom gave us all a photo to find her. She got stolen from the cargo that was coming to us with some other merchandise.”
Vivi gave a little tiny sob of fear, snuggling into Scout tighter.
“Which makes us wonder how a pretty thing like you got her,” Jazz spoke up from the doorway.
No, no, no.
Scout kept her expression bland. Did they know she was a conductor with the railway getting the captive shifters out of danger? It could threaten everything they had worked to keep safe.
Tazz placed the tray on the floor by her feet. “Venom will get the answers out of you once he’s had his fun with his toy. It’s been a long week, and he’ll want to work off his frustration.”
Jazz chuckled. “The whore doesn’t say a word anymore. He used to squeal like a stuck pig, but now he knows his place.”
The two jackals backed away and locked up, leaving them with the two bowls of oatmeal and bottles of water. It wasn’t much, but it would fill their bellies.
“Hey, sweetie, are you hungry?” Scout crooned, brushing back a wisp of Vivi’s blonde hair.
“Yes,” the child whispered, peeking up at her.
Scout smiled softly. “Then let’s pray.”
She wasn’t a religious person, but she considered herself a spiritual warrior, battling evil and defending those who couldn’t protect themselves. For Vivi’s sake, she drew from memories of her own childhood when her mother insisted on saying grace before every meal.
Vivi folded her hands and closed her eyes. Scout focused on the tray but watched for movement in her peripheral vision, keeping tabs on the jackals she knew better than to trust.
“Thank you for this food,” she began. “May it nourish our bodies and help us to stay strong. Amen.”
Not knowing how Vivi had been raised, she made the blessing generic without naming any deity—male, female, or otherwise.
The little girl took her plastic spoon and dug in. Scout did the same, finishing her oatmeal and swishing water to help clean her teeth. She’d gone to sleep the last three nights with grungy teeth. What she wouldn’t give for a toothbrush and paste right now. Just a toothbrush would be a blessing. Oatmeal was pasty, but the peanut butter sandwiches they served for lunch and supper were super sticky, coating every inch of her mouth.
They put their bowls and plastic spoons on the tray, knowing the jackals counted what came in and what went out. Two bowls, two spoons, two bottles of water.
Thankfully, they let them keep the water to finish and left another three bottles by the door. Left with nothing but time to fill, Scout asked Vivi if there was a story she wanted to hear.
“Do you know Snow White and the Seven Dwarves?” the child asked hopefully.
“I do,” Scout told her, figuring she’d seen the classic Disney version like every other child on the planet.
But not Vivi. The first time Scout started counting off the dwarves, Vivi scrunched her face in disapproval.
“That’s not how it goes!” she scolded. “Mica’s the leader. And there’s Rocky, and Brick, and Woody, and Jasper, and Flint, and Salty. Salty’s the cook! He doesn’t like that someone’s been in his kitchen and eaten his bread. They search the cottage and find her sleeping across three of their little beds!”
“Really?” Her curiosity aroused, Scout was eager to hear Vivi’s version of the story. It sounded like something hippies or Rainbow People would tell their kids. But her true excitement came from Vivi actually talking. It’s the most words she’d strung together since they’d met. “I’m sorry. I don’t know your dwarves. Can you tell what happens after they find her?”
It was a minor miracle, the way the little girl opened up, guarded at first but growing more comfortable as the story unfolded. By the time Vivi finished, she was speaking freely, without hesitation, her expression animated, but her body language relaxed.
The guards had finally come down. Scout didn’t want to push things, but she hoped Vivi would start opening up and sharing more with her. Maybe she’d finally learn who this bright child really was, where she’d come from, and what she would eventually be.
Assuming they survived.

Excerpt 1 (PG13):
Four weeks had passed since her father made a deal with those men. The next night, she’d heard the distant sound of trucks heading toward the two old barns. She’d wondered what they were transporting under cover of darkness. She grew even more suspicious after seeing armed men posted outside the structures.
Construction equipment, her ass. Whatever they had in the barns was worth a helluva lot more than that. Either her father was oblivious, or he was turning a blind eye to what was going on.
Kit was worried that the situation they had gotten themselves into would be far more trouble than it was worth.
Standing on the porch, she glanced across yard to the paddock and stable, restlessness trickling through her. She’d already mucked out the stalls and seen to the horses. The chickens needed feeding, and eggs had to be gathered.
Her father was in his chair in front of the TV, snoring softly, a half-finished bottle of beer cradled against his chest. He wasn’t going to be any help. Ed Carson rarely was.
Kit sighed. It was never going to change. Unless business picked up where they could afford to hire help, she would be the only one doing things around here.
Grabbing a wicker basket, she skipped down the steps and walked across the yard. The chickens were clucking quietly and pecking lazily at the ground, warming under the mid-morning sun. Thankfully, today promised to be milder than yesterday’s blistering heat.
She scattered the chicken feed, refilled the watering stations, and headed to the back of the coop to check the nesting boxes. They had a flock of good laying hens that provided them with eggs. What she didn’t keep got sold, bringing in a bit of money that was sorely needed. She did the same with the jams and fruit she canned, keeping some and selling the rest. Even the vegetables she grew went to make an earning.
Other chickens went in the stew pot, sometimes with vegetables and noodles added, yielding cans of meat, broth, and soup to stock their pantry. Cooking and canning were some of the homesteading skills she’d learned from her Aunt Mary. She had ensured Kit could be as self-sufficient as possible, with the ability to survive on the ranch without relying on others.
The only thing she couldn’t do was tend to the horses when they got sick. Dr. Laskaris was always on hand, though, if anything happened. He was a shifter (although she wasn’t sure what kind), but he had a way with horses that put them at ease.
There were plenty of eggs to find when she checked the straw, plucking them up from where they were nestled to place in her basket. Finished gathering, she left the hens to eat and headed back to the house.
Kit had a few hours before she had to start lunch. Still feeling restless, she knew that a ride would help.
Hurrying into the house, she set the filled basket on the kitchen table and transferred the eggs to empty cartons. Dating and stacking them in the refrigerator, she washed her hands in the sink and dried them on a hand towel she kept beside it. Satisfied with her morning’s labors, she checked on her sleeping father before heading out.
Striding toward the stable, she gave the east barns a thoughtful glance. A flash of white caught her eye, the T-shirt of one of the men stationed outside them. Was he armed? Most likely. The thought of handguns on the property made Kit shiver. She didn’t like violence.
Reaching the paddock, she chose Merry, the black-and-white pinto mare, to ride. She liked to alternate between the horses to make sure they all got to stretch their legs. Saddling the mare, she gathered the reins, led Merry out of the paddock, and closed the gate behind them. Putting her hand on the pommel, she was ready to mount up when a flurry of motion at the barn caught her eye.
What in heaven’s name was happening? What was going on? Asking her father would get her nowhere. She’d already tried. The only way she would get answers was to check it out herself, but she needed to be wise. The men in their kitchen had struck her as dangerous. If they realized she was snooping, there’d be hell to pay.
.
Excerpt 2 (NSFW):
Driven by desperation rooted in the distant past, Blaze kissed her fiercely, letting her feel the strength of his passion. His Joan responded, parting her lips to deepen their kiss. Tongues dueled, tested, tasted, tangling in an erotic dance that stole his breath and left him hungry for more.
Grabbing the long cushion from Maria Perez’s lounge chair, he pulled it onto the ground near the fire and laid Joan on top of it. Stretching out beside her, he kissed her fiercely, sliding his thigh over hers to wedge his knee between her legs. He kissed her again, whispering his love in Old French, hearing her vow the same. Moving his hand from her face to her neck, he slid it down, encountering the swell of her unbound breast. Spreading his fingers, he claimed the crest, tightening his hold and feeling her response.
She moaned into his mouth, her hips shifting restlessly, silently begging for more when she was too shy to ask for it.
But he needed the words. He must know beyond doubt that she wanted this, too. He was trying to earn redemption, and fucking with a saint would set him back years, if not eons.
“Tell me,” he whispered in English. “Tell me what you want. Name it, and it’s yours.”
“You,” she said simply, eyes heavy-lidded with passion, fingers tugging at his shirt and lifting it for her hands to explore beneath. “I’ve always wanted you. Please…?”
Driven by centuries of unrequited passion, Blaze didn’t waste time stripping. A quick pull left her pantiless, ruining her cotton briefs that he tossed to the side. Undoing the button of his jeans, he eased down his zipper, taking care not to catch anything as he lowered it. Reaching, he pulled his erection out of his briefs and fisted it, working precum from the tip. One last bit of sanity remained, enough to realize that she’d never be able to handle him without enough foreplay to get her wet and stretch her out.
He cupped her sex and suckled her breast through her nightgown, feeling her sodden folds and inhaling the musk of her arousal. She tilted her pelvis up, meeting his hand and rubbing herself on his fingers. Parting her seam, he stroked her slit and found the hard nub of flesh at its apex. Using two fingers, he polished her pearl, rubbing, circling, catching it between his fingers, and pinching it. At the same time, he sucked her nipple hard into his mouth and tormented the tip with his tongue.
Breathing became a challenge for her. She panted, air sloughing between clenched teeth as she fought to draw enough in to feed her fire. Her breaths became ragged, short, sharp bursts out and labored, extended pulls in. Her thighs quivered, and her body arched, holding for a moment before shattering in his arms.
He pushed his middle finger into her while her walls were still spasming, relishing the feel of her snug little pussy gripping his digit. He started fucking her with it, pushing it, pulling out, going deeper, working until he was buried to the knuckle in her sheath. Pumping his arm, he added a second finger and a third, making her gasp to feel it.
“It’s alright,” he swore. “I need to make sure you can handle me.”
“Please,” she begged him. “I’m so empty, it hurts.”
He was hurting, too. “Are you sure?” he asked, giving her one last chance to stop. After this, he knew there’d be no going back.
“Oui,” she whispered. “Come lie with me and be my love….”
The poem was from another time and place, but it didn’t matter. Nothing did except knowing she was his to have and hold after centuries of empty arms and a wounded heart.
Coming over her, Blaze eased up her hem, exposing the wedge of dark curls in the delta of her thighs and settling himself between them. He took himself in hand and stroked her seam, wetting himself on her juices before finding her opening and notching his glans inside. Pushing, he wedged in deeper, breaching her entrance and forging up her passage, stopping when he encountered the proof of her purity. Straightening his elbows, he looked at the young woman beneath him. Her languorous eyes were glazed with desire, and her perfect lips were swollen from his kisses.
“Look at me,” he ordered. Locking gazes, he snapped his hips and shattered her hymen. She gasped to feel it, tears springing into her eyes. “You’re mine,” he told her, starting to move, determined to make her feel pleasure despite the pain. “You’ve always been mine. You feel it, too, don’t you?”
“Yes,” she choked out, her expression shifting from initial acceptance to looking overwhelmed by what fate had in store.
He drove into her harder than he probably should have, but she moaned and rose to meet him. Encouraged by her body’s response despite a lingering look of trepidation, he made love to her, working his way until he was buried deep inside her.
Heaven. She felt like heaven. He swore he could hear a choir of angels singing at their union and blessing it.

“Every single time I open the cover of a book these two authors have penned, I think I have somewhat of an idea what’s coming. Every single time they prove me wrong.
“Having devoured the Guarded Hearts series, I am thoroughly enjoying this series as well. The storyline twists and turns, and has your emotions all over the place. The characters are so beautifully raw and broken, and yet strong and determined, you can’t help but fall for each one of them and hope that they make it through to the other side.
“I cannot recommend this series enough!”
“Another winner and great collaboration with these two authors. Great storytelling. Wonderful characters and chemistry and so addicting. This is a mc, shifter, enemies to lovers book. I absolutely loved it.”

What reviewers say about Guarded Hearts:
A “dark and delicious series”
“I have thoroughly enjoyed this series from start to finish, it’s a different type of PNR / Sci Fi / Erotic read that has drawn me in from the start….”
An “utterly enthralling series that has held my attention from the get go. Thoroughly recommended for any dark PNR readers out there.”
“These two authors truly know their craft, and are fantastic story tellers, who aren’t afraid to take the story where they do. This series pulls no punches, no character is safe, and I urge everyone to start this series TODAY!”
(A review for Sam, Book 6) “The way the authors spin this mesmerizing tale with these four characters will leave you speechless. With each storyline, new secrets are revealed and one cannot help but fall. This is one exceptionally well written story that you will not be able to put down! I cannot wait for the next book.”

The authors of the Twisted Steel anthology have decided to come back with a third edition. They heard how much you loved it and listened to the readers. But that’s not all. A few new faces have been added as well.
These USA Today and International Bestsellers have collaborated once again to bring you brand new biker stories that have never been published before. A combination of full-length novels and novellas are within the pages of this edition.
A couple of these authors have written about characters in their clubs you already adore, while others are launching a brand new series. Each story takes place in a separate club, but you can always count on copious amounts of danger, suspense, angst but most of all – chemistry.
We ask you again: will these men and women put everything on the line for their brotherhood, or will they risk it all for love?
This collection includes stories from Dani René, April Canavan, Elizabeth Knox, Addison Jane, KE Osborn, Zara Teleg, Claire Marta & Nia Farrell, E.C. Land, Erin Osborne, Amy Davies, Kristine Allen, Chelle C. Craze & Eli Abbott, Claire Shaw, Jewelz Baxter, Rae. B Lake, H.J.

Midnight Raiders MC Series https://bit.ly/MidnightRaidersMCSeries
On a road trip that leads to a Route 66 festival in Edwardsville, Illinois, Nomad biker Savage comes to the rescue of a local man affected by the brutal Midwest heat.
And not just the heat. Dub thinks the burly, tattooed leather-clad biker is the best thing to ever walk through the doors of the old house he inherited. Thrilled that Mr. Big is handy with tools, he hires him to stay and do much-needed repairs. He hopes the biker will linger longer, but having a cat with two million followers on social media and an overprotective cousin doesn’t help to advance his cause.
When trouble comes to Dub’s door, Savage steps up to save him. It only feels natural for him to take charge of the boy. With feelings forming and the attraction between them growing, a relationship blooms. But the past has a way of coming back to haunt us, and they soon find themselves in a nightmare one of them might not survive.
Savage is the first book of a new queers-and-gears series, Midnight Raiders MC. Book One is a standalone MM MC with triggers, kink, and a consensual BDSM relationship between a Daddy Dom and his “boy”.
