Meet the Blake Pride, a group of
renegade feline shape shifters who are always on the run!
Vivian is the
alpha female. The welfare of the Pride falls on her shoulders. She also has a
husky singing voice that seduces her audience. But don’t let the sexy
performance and sequins fool you, she earned her position by sinking her teeth
into their last Alpha. A man might be able to pay for a lap dance, but touching
brings out her tiger’s claws. Independence defines her and mating has never
been an option—until now. Read her story in Pride Before the Fall.
Melissa is
Vivian’s little sister and the only submissive of the group. She has the gift
of keeping the four other dominant personalities steady. The shy, elegant snow
leopard might submit to a dominant member of the Pride, but when she’s on stage
she holds the power. She’s
experienced the pull of her mate and wants her Pride members to find the same
love.
Tyrone is a
shadow, living in the darkness among his inner demons. As a ruthless assassin,
the only thing keeping him from a life of blood and death is Melissa, his mate.
For her, this black leopard would move heaven and earth. His quiet strength and
unexplainable abilities make him a mystery that only his mate and his twin
understand.
Amilynn, Tyrone’s
sister, is the mouth of the group. The word tactful
has never been a part of her vocabulary and her moral compass has never pointed
due north. Part princess, part badass, she utilizes all her talents to earn
extra cash and relieve Vivian of the financial burden she carries. This tawny
leopard is the beta member of the Pride. Get to know Ami in Break
Her Fall.
Conall is the odd
man out. He’s the only non-related member of the Pride. Vivian has his undying
loyalty and he’ll protect her with everything he has. His massive size and
strength are evident in human and lion form. If it has an engine, he can fix
it. He keeps the Pride’s wheels in shape in case they have to bolt. Book 3, The
Harder They Fall, is expected mid 2015.
Music and friendship brought them together, blood and death
sealed the bond, and together they can face anything.

Book Description:
As beta female of the Blake Pride, Amilynn does whatever it takes to get the job done and guard her family—even if it might not be morally sound. Now that the Pride has moved in with the Blackburn Pack, she faces a threat she never saw coming…a mate. The sexy and persistent wolf wants to claim the leopardess, but she’s not going down without a fight.
Ezekiel is used to getting what he wants and his eyes are set on his seductive target. Yet predicting Amilynn’s next move is fruitless. He’s caught between admiring her strength and resenting it. Does he dominate or submit? Can he prove to Amilynn she really is worth the fight?
When a ghost from Amilynn’s past stalks their family, Ezekiel will learn her true strength. Amilynn isn’t a docile house cat and, by the time she’s done, everyone will know it.

Excerpt:
AMILYNN SNUGGLED
INTO the warm arms that were around her. God, Ezekiel smelled like heaven. The
sweet honey of his mating scent filled her mind and made her inner leopard purr
with desire. It was so easy to sleep when his strong arms held her close and kept
her safe. He was there for her in her time of distress, waiting to see if her
best friend would pull through the night. He’d given his own blood to save
Vivian’s life. Amilynn never thought she could find peace in the middle of a
hospital, in the midst of a catastrophe like this, and yet Ezekiel gave it to
her.
Her cat had
never been more satisfied, even if he was a wolf.
While Ezekiel
kept her safe, Ami could focus on the crisis at hand. Vivian had to live. She
had to make it. If there was no hope for Vivian to live a full life of love and
happiness, then what chance did Amilynn have? Vivian was wilder, more feral in
her independence than Ami and, somehow, she’d found a mate in Kasey Blackburn
who was worthy of her devotion. The wolf alpha had shown his love for Vivian
time and time again, gaining the trust of the rest of her Pride. But look where
it got them. The songs were bullshit. Love is not all you need.
Vivian fought
for her life in that hospital because members of Kasey’s Pack didn’t want the
Pride coming in. The feline shifters didn’t belong there, so they said. The
Pack might be a mixture of wolves and bear, but adding felines to the mix was
more than some of them could handle. The rebellious group had done a fine job
of letting Amilynn and her family know they weren’t welcome.
Amilynn, in
particular, had been warned off the males of the Pack. Here she sat in
Ezekiel’s arms, the arms of a future alpha. Wouldn’t that cause another
rebellion? The hookers and hounds, what a mess.
Her cat came to
attention when a rumbling in Ezekiel’s chest woke her up. The low growl was
aggressive and full of warning. Her eyes popped open, ready to defend her
family at any cost.
“Easy, fool,”
Tyrone, her brother, warned Ezekiel in gravelly bass.
Ezekiel, who had
also been awakened with a start, gripped Ty’s hand. It took a couple of seconds
for all of them to realize there was no threat.
“V’s awake.” Ty
yanked from Ezekiel’s grasp.
Amilynn didn’t
hesitate to uncurl from Ezekiel’s lap and follow Ty. She didn’t look back,
couldn’t. Once she was in her right mind, she would explain to Ezekiel that
there was no way they were going to be together. They were too different.
Ami took her
first easy breath when she saw Vivian’s eyes open. They were half crossed, but
they were open. Relief and love bubbled over her, creating a wave of deep
emotion she didn’t know how to process. She could cry, but who had time for
hormonal drama? When Vivian smiled at her, she had to blink back the tears.
Damn. This was not cool.
“Well,” Ami
said, needing to escape with her dignity. “Since Kasey is stuck up your ass,
and you’re in good hands, I’m going to jet.” She sniffed and made sure not to
look Vivian in the eyes again. “Glad you’re awake.” Without another word, she
left the hospital room. Her chest constricted so tightly, she could’ve passed
out.
“Here.” Ty
tossed her a set of keys. Of course her brother would know she didn’t want
anyone to see her lose her shit. She gave him a nod and bolted from the
hospital. Go figure; they were to Ezekiel’s motorcycle. At least if she cried
while she was on the bike, she could blame it on the wind in her eyes.
Sometimes being a girl sucked.
