Touch of Seduction released today! I’m so excited and so late with this post. : ) Below you’ll find the blurb and excerpt. To find out more, go to the series page or the excerpt page!
A pride divided by hate, an outcast halfling, and two lion males ready to protect her.
Stacy’s always been an outcast. Half lion, half human, she’s never belonged. The pride never let her forget she’s little more than prey. But new Alphas are coming and they’re bringing a wave of change. Elias and Levi come with the Alphas who take over the pride. She’s drawn to the two big lion males and is excited and scared to discover they’re her mates.
Elias and Levi came to help rebuild a pride community that the old Alphas twisted into a hate-filled bastion of prejudice. On the first day there, they find their mate. She’s gorgeous, curvy, and all theirs. The elitist pride seems to be a minor problem at first. Then, Stacy is attacked. Every protective instinct is roused when their mate is hurt and Levi and Elias will protect her at any cost.
With a pride full of suspects, it’s hard to narrow down who’s behind it and time might be running out. The attacks keep coming. Elias, Levi, and Stacy will need a little luck and some witchy help to end the violence before they lose the love and the life they’ve built together.
Short excerpt
A night in had never been so welcome.
Stacy leaned against Levi and held Elias’ hand. The Seattle soccer team raced across the field on the big screen on the television. Winning pretty handily, too.
Levi skimmed his hand up her jeans-clad thigh. Tingles coursed through her. She glanced over. He stared down at her, a small smile on his face. Definitely not paying attention to the television.
“What? Aren’t you into the game? You said you liked soccer.” She touched his cheek. They’d settled on the game because the sport was something they could all agree on easily.
“I don’t know any of the players or have any investment in the team. After a little while, I’m sure that I’ll get to know them.” Levi shrugged. “And I have something very interesting at hand that’s a welcome distraction.”
“What team were you into when you lived in New York?” She tilted her head. Perhaps they could find something else to watch that they’d enjoy.
“We rooted for the NYC team. The Crushers.” Elias raised her hand and pressed a kiss there.
“If you can find their game on, we can watch it. As long as it’s not the New York football team.” She shook a finger at him. They’d watch that on their own.
“Hey, are you mad that they beat your team in the Bowl two years ago?” He grinned.
“No, because they lost big time as they deserved this year. Didn’t even make the playoffs. I just never liked them. I’ll take Houston over them any day. Since I grew up here, you can imagine how much I like Houston.” She rolled her eyes. That team got on her nerves.
Levi laughed. “Well, that’s honest. Since I can’t get into the game, what do you suggest I do with my time.”
“Try searching the sports streams and see if you find something you like?” She raised a brow. Probably not going to happen, but it was an option.
Heat warmed his golden eyes. Not hard to guess where he was heading with this. Still, teasing him was fun. She leaned her head on him.
“Um, no. I think that you should help entertain me.” Levi shook his head. “We’re new here and haven’t had time to get into new teams and routines.”
“Us. You should entertain us.” Elias leaned over and pressed a kiss to her cheek.
“And what do you think I should do for you?” She laughed. Damn, they never failed to say something outrageous.
“Well, come over here and I’m sure that we can think of something for you to do.” Levi picked her up and lifted her, turning her to face him.
He set her down. She straddled his thighs. A curl of hunger skittered through her. Now, this was definitely intriguing.
“I can think of plenty to do.” She leaned down and kissed him, teasing his lips until they opened for her.
His hand cupped the back of her neck. He thrust his tongue into her mouth. She sank into the kiss. He tugged her closer until they were pressed together from pelvis to lips. Damn, he tasted so good.
“Let’s make this a little more interesting.” Elias eased over beside her.
“Hmm, how do you plan to make it more interesting?” She pulled back and looked at him. Anything involving their hands on her rated high on her list.
“We’ll start with revealing more skin.” Elias rose to a knee and tugged her shirt over her head.
That was a good idea. She lifted her hands to help him get it off. Once free, she smiled and drew her fingers across Levi’s chest. Fingers touched her back for a moment and the bra loosened. She shrugged out of it. Cool air prickled over her skin. She shivered.
