It’s time for the Jamie and Bodie’s story.

Jessie Montgomery-Murphy is ready for more. Fun, that is, something along the lines of hot and intimate. The man she?s had a crush on for years and currently her up with a hot look is the perfect candidate. She wants a no-string-attached, no plans for the future, good time, something Bodie fits to a T. She wants to take what she wants, when she wants, and not have to worry he?ll want more. If the mating pull kicks in earlier than expected and tugs her right to Bodie, then she?ll deal with that inconvenience later.

Bodie Donalson is the guy you call when you?re in a pinch. He gives his time to his friends when they need it and sometimes when they don?t. His always be there attitude has resulted in a bit of nomadic life. It isn?t easy to put down roots when you?re waiting for your mate. After an encounter with his friend?s sister, he?s got a good idea who his mate is. But she?s young and driven and not nearly ready for the kind of commitment he wants. He?ll take what she gives him, no matter how much he wants more.

He?s got a killer to catch and no time for love.?Fate has other plans.

Former Army Special Forces Officer Martin ?Del? Delano has enough on his hands chasing a serial killer and heading up TASK FORCE HAWAII. He definitely doesn?t need the distraction of Emma Mitchell. From the moment they meet, she knocks him off his feet, literally. Unfortunately, she?s the best person to have on the team to make the connections to help them catch their killer.

For Emma, it?s hard to ignore the lure of a man like him. Tats, muscles and his Harley cause her to have more than a few fantasies about Del. He?d never be interested in a geek like her, but she can?t resist toying with him. When she pushes the teasing too far, she ends up in his bed. She convinces herself she can handle it until the moment he steals her heart.

Del can?t help falling for the quirky genius. She?s smart, funny and there?s a sweet vulnerable side to her that only he can see. As Emma gets more involved with the investigation, she becomes the target of the psychopath. When the danger escalates, Del promises to do anything to save the woman who not only captured his heart but also his soul.

BIO

From an early age, Melissa loved to read. First, it was the books her mother read to her including her two favorites, Winnie the Pooh and the Beatrix Potter books. She cut her preteen teeth on Trixie Belden and read and reviewed To Kill a Mockingbird in middle school. It wasn?t until she was in college that she tried to write her first stories, which were full of angst and pain, and really not that fun to read or write. After trying several different genres, she found romance in a Linda Howard book.

Since the publication of her first book in 2004, Melissa has had close to sixty romances published. She writes in genres from historical suspense to modern day erotic romance to futuristics and paranormals. Included in those releases is the bestselling Harmless series. In 2011, Melissa branched out into self-publishing with A Little Harmless Submission and the popular military spinoff, Infatuation: A Little Harmless Military Romance. Along the way she has garnered an epic nomination, a multitude of reviewer?s recommended reads, over five Capa nods from TRS, thirteen nominations for AAD Bookies, and made the USA Today bestseller list in 2013 with The Santinis.

Since she spent her childhood as a military brat, Melissa swore never to marry military. But, as we all know, Fate has her way with mortals. After twenty years as an AF spouse, she and husband, a long with their brats, both human and canine, are now happy they get to pick where they live. She lives in the middle of wine and horse country in Virginia and shops for million dollar homes in Hawaii.

BLURB:

A man avoiding his destiny.

Anthony Santini?is happy with life. The former Marine is now working a dream job for NCIS in a dream location: Hawaii. He?s watched his cousins and now his siblings fall into the Santini Curse and that is not for him. Not yet. He?s happy to play the field and enjoy life. It still doesn?t stop his cousin?s wife from trying to fix him up.

A woman avoiding love.

Lalani Hawkins?has had enough heartache to last a lifetime. The professional dancer isn?t looking for love and she definitely doesn?t need a man like Santini in her life. After the worst blind date in history, she thinks she?ll never see him again.

For two people who want to avoid each other, Lalani and Anthony can?t seem to achieve that. Each time they meet, Lalani falls a little more under the Santini spell, and for Anthony, he is drawn to the vivacious dancer. But when Anthony senses her hesitation to commit, he starts to formulate a plan. Because when a Santini man decides he?s found his mate, there is no stopping him.

EXCERPT:

?Wanna come in for a drink??

He shook his head, never taking his gaze from hers.

?Why not??

?I told you the truth earlier, Lalani. You test my control, and neither of us are ready to make that next step yet.?

He leaned forward and cupped her face. Slowly, he kissed her. This was not the same over the top passionate kiss from the other day. He nibbled at her lips, teasing her bottom lip before fully pressing his mouth against hers. Still, he took his time, before she felt the glide of his tongue against the seam of her lips. She opened willingly, wanting nothing more that to taste him. He was just the same as she remembered. Desire lanced through her veins, her blood pounding a primitive beat in her veins.

Needing more contact, she stepped closer, pressing her body into his as she slipped her hands around his waist. He shuddered and lifted his other hand to cup her face completely. It wasn?t enough. She wanted to feel his flesh against hers, to taste every inch of him?but he stepped back. They were both breathing heavily.

?I told you we needed time.?

Lalani had never been good at being denied pleasure, and she lashed out.

?Is this some kind of control thing with you??

The moment she said it, she wished she hadn?t. She opened her mouth to apologize, but he stopped her by reaching up and rubbing his thumb against her lips.

?Not at all. I just want to make sure we both want it for the right reasons. And, as I told you, I don?t want some quick fuck. I want a long time with you in that bed, because I aim to take every second to enjoy.?

Mystic Zodiac, Release

New Release: Amber is here!

by Brandyon July 10, 2015

Amber: July
Mystic Zodiac, Book 7

She?s isn?t looking for happily ever after?

Amber Thompson is a Siren. A love-em and leave-em, let?s have some fun for a little while kind of woman who isn?t looking for a long romance, let alone a happily ever after. It just isn?t part of a Siren?s DNA. She loves her life in the small town of Summerset and loves working at the Mystics Only bar, Ecstasis D. Taking home a sexy as sin wolf for a night of fun shouldn?t change that.

He didn?t know he was looking for a change?

Andreas Stathos is a bored, business suit wearing, drowning in paperwork, wolf-shifter. His company, A Shift in Style, is doing great and he couldn?t be happier, except the spark he used to feel is missing and has turned into obligation. It doesn?t help matters that he can?t remember the last time he had a date or took the time to go wolf. At a friend?s urging, he gets out of town for the long weekend hoping to get in touch with his wolf and with a little luck, find a woman to heat up his nights.

Maybe together they?ll find something more.

As soon as he steps into the bar, Amber and Andreas both know their lives will be changed. But how much depends on one stubborn Siren and one wolf?s ability to convince her they have a future together.

EXCERPT

Theo shrugged and tapped his knee with a rolled-up paper Andreas had failed to notice before. ?I like giving her a hard time. She?s a good kid and gets riled up so easy. The wolf in me gets a kick out of it. It?s like watching prey attempt to fight back.?

?You?re too easily entertained. Just don?t run her off.? He looked at Theo thoughtfully. ?Maybe you should bring something for her to apologize for your atrocious behavior one of these days.?

Theo shrugged and tapped the paper on his knee again. ?I?ll think about it.?

Andreas?s gaze fell to the object his friend blatantly tried to draw his attention to. ?What?s that??

A mischievous grin lit Theo?s face. ?I wondered if you were going to notice.?

?How could I not? It?s apparent you want me to ask about it. So give. What do you have there??

Theo flicked it to Andreas. Unrolling it, he skimmed over the paper. It was a flyer for a Mystics-only bar on the outer edge of the city, one he?d never heard of.

?I know you?re bored out of your mind here. You?re antsy as fuck and driving the staff insane. It isn?t good to be cooped up in the city as much as you are. When was the last time you went on the hunt in the woods? Shook your fur out and roamed the green forest? Felt loam and dirt and the earth under your paws??

Andreas grunted a reply. It had been too long. He actually couldn?t remember the last time he?d headed out into the woods. It could be why he was feeling restless lately. The absence of going fur would drive any man crazy if he let it.

?This doesn?t look anything like a forest or woods.?

?I know. It?s a bar.?

Andreas shot him a bland look. ?I know that. I?can?read.?

?Then you?can?read what it says about being a place of gathering for Mystics?one and all. Sing, drink, and dance the night away with the Sirens of?Ectasis D. Revel in the freedom to be who you really are.? Theo swung his arms out wide, and had an idiotic grin on his face.

?You want to go to a bar on a holiday weekend? Where does the?going wolf?come in? Am I supposed to shift in the middle of some rowdy place after a few drinks??

?Yes, I want to go to a bar. No, I don?t expect you to shift right there. Do you think I?m a complete idiot??

Andreas opened his mouth to answer but was cut off by Theo throwing his hand up.

?I have a cabin nearby so we can get drunk as skunks, those little sots. Then, when the buzz of alcohol wears off, you can get back in touch with the furry beast inside. What do you say??

Andreas looked back down at the flyer, his eyes roving every inch. There were pictures of the interior. The crowded tables. The full dance floor. The bar with beautiful women manning it. His gaze snagged on one woman in particular, a fiery redhead wearing a snug tank top. She was laughing in the picture, her eyes lit up like a thousand flames. The wolf in him perked up, the image of the woman snagging his attention as well.

If she still worked there, then he needed to meet her. ?Yeah,? he said, a grin beginning to curl the corner of his mouth. ?This is exactly what I need.?

Theo jumped from his chair. ?Hot damn!? He clapped his hands together in glee. ?I have your bag packed and in the truck. Your housekeeper was an absolute doll helping grab your shit. Change out of that stuffy suit and let?s hit the road.?
