“By the Goddess,” he whispered harshly, “you are beautiful.”
He scooped her up, took her to the bed, and laid her down. He tore his own clothes off, ignoring the ripping sounds, and the painful throb of his erection. As he moved over her, the heat from her already quivering body washed over him. They were both so ready, it hurt. But it couldn’t be fast––not this time. As he took her nipple in his mouth, she moaned. He sucked at it, enjoying the way she squirmed. He trailed his fingertips over her stomach, relishing the control he had as she bucked.
But as he approached her pussy, the wild part of him took over. Her wetness, her scent, and her parting legs called to him. He positioned himself over her.

Elaine had never felt anything like this. Laying her head back, she kept her eyes focused on him––on his gorgeous chest, the gold of his hair, and those savage amber eyes. As he arched over her, she felt the first pressure at her entrance. His flesh was hot, probing her, slotting into place. She sucked in a breath, and he paused.
“No,” she begged, hands on his hips. “Don’t stop.”
He pushed into her then, a savage thrust that made her cry out. The fullness of it, the stretch, took her breath away. But Trent didn’t stop. He plowed into her again, deeper, and her back arched as he thudded against her. She gasped for air, clutching him, as he did it again, grinding into her clit. It was too much and not enough, as a heat like fire spread into her belly. Her hips were no longer hers to control. They tried to pump against his weight.
“Yes,” he growled. “More.”
His throaty words unlocked something wild. She gripped his shoulders and wrapped her legs around his waist. As he speared into her again, her hips rose to meet him. He grunted and she cried out as their bodies collided. He was moving inside her, hot and hard, pushing into a place that ached with need. He thrust again and then again, as a primal rhythm took over. He pounded into her, faster and faster. Her clit swelled under the mounting pressure.
“Harder,” she heard herself gasp. “Harder!”
He buried himself to the hilt, his groan matching her own. His hips flew into a wild staccato burst, and he threw his head back. Her fingers dug into his shoulders, as pleasure surged through her. Then she came.
She convulsed with a climax so fierce that she screamed. Her sex clamped on him so hard, she thought it might split her, but she couldn’t stop. Impossibly, he thickened inside her. Wild waves of pleasure swept her away. Mindless, her body drew his in. They moved as one, thrashing, hips locked together. Then he climaxed. He jerked deep within her, stretching her yet again, and then his hot seed slapped into her. It was fire, it was ecstasy, it was pain, and she couldn’t get enough. She clenched on him hard and he spilled into her again. His entire body shook, and she was dimly aware of him screaming her name. But her own voice joined his, as her body shuddered in another orgasm. It came out of nowhere, spiraling out of control, and hit her twice as hard. As she struggled for breath, she convulsed around his still hard flesh. He collapsed on her, his weight helping to still her wildly gyrating hips. He thrust erratically now, slowing, but responding to her lingering need. With one final clench, the wave of ecstasy crested, and she felt herself floating away––but not alone.
Trent wrapped her arms around her, both of them still gasping. Then he brought his mouth to her ear.
“I love you, Elaine, and you are mine.”
“I love you,” she managed between parched lips. “My mate.”

“I don’t know about this,” Elaine said, a few weeks later.
Trent smirked, an irresistible look she was beginning to hate. Hate because it distracted her and made her want to ravish him right away. He knew it too.
“You know, Elaine, you’re the one who said we needed to up your training.”
They sat naked in an empty field, far from the plantation.
She snorted and sat up straighter. It made her breasts jiggle, and she hoped he was as distracted as she was.
“I’m ready,” she said.
Though his eyes were on her breasts, he placed the charm in her hand. It was a leather pouch on a plain strap, but inside was a strand of Rainstone’s mane.
Trent waited for her to slip the pouch over her neck and then did the same with his own.
“I’ve never done this before,” he said. “It’ll be new for both of us. I doubt it can replace hunting like a wolf or flying, but–”
“The speed must be something,” she said.
She closed her eyes, trusting her lover if not herself. If Trent said she could do it, then she believed him.
The usual crunching of bone and sloshing of viscera followed, temporary pain helping to birth a new shape. When she opened her large eyes, a gorgeous chestnut stallion stamped the ground beside her. Letting out a loud whinny, Elaine reared on her back legs.
Bet you can’t catch me.
Then she bolted off toward the horizon with Trent at her heels. Though she had a good start, he was right behind. Barely into the breathless run, she already knew that he would catch her––because she would let him.

FOUND: CASTLE COVEN Book One
Though novice witch Hailey Devereaux seems to have settled into her latest coven, she knows that it can’t last. Tucked against the remote Alps of northern Italy, the Angioli coven is ill at ease with their newest member. Whispers and fearful glances follow her everywhere.
But the arrival of a Magus Corps major ends all that. Kieran McCallen isn’t afraid of her singular ability. Instead he’s been sent to nurture and test it. Though Hailey’s waif-like and delicate beauty are charming, her power is the stuff of legend.
Each loners in their own way, Kieran glimpses Hailey’s fiercely protective spirit when it comes to friends. For her part, Hailey dares to hope that she’s found the person and place meant for her. But their bond is put to the test by danger and by duty, forcing each of them to impossible choices.
Excerpt from FOUND: Castle Coven Book One
Kieran’s arms came around her from behind, stilling her thoughts. This close, his scent filled her nose. There was something spicy about it, sharp and masculine. She turned and buried her face in his chest. He was a big man, a giant compared to her diminutive height, but for once, she didn’t care at all. All she wanted was to be close to him.
“I want you, but…” His voice trailed off.
“There’s nothing that stands in our way,” Hailey said forcefully. “When we go down those stairs, we are back in the world. There are Templars to fight, orders to follow and tests to complete. Not now.”
He looked like he would argue, but after a moment, he nodded. There was no need for words.
Hailey’s hands went to her clothing, but with a gentle touch, he warded her away. Instead, he knelt on one knee like a supplicant, and his strong hands, swept over her body. At first, they only touched her gently. He ran his hands over her arms, down her legs, up her back and down her sides. She was fully clothed, but still she was learning his touch and feeling everything that he was offering. There was no sense of urgency, nothing dangerous about this. He was learning about her, and it was infinitely patient and kind.
His fingers eventually landed on the zipper of her hoodie, and the sound of it opening was loud in the quiet place. She stood in her camisole, and in a moment, he lifted that over her head as well. For a moment, Hailey wanted to cover her breasts. She was small on top, small enough that she hadn’t bothered with a bra that morning.
Now she stood exposed, and he could see her tender pink nipples crinkling in the slight chill.
“I…I’m…”
“You’re perfect, utterly perfect,” Kieran said firmly.
/> He leaned forward to set his mouth against the pebbled bud, and his lips were so tender that she sighed. Her nipples were almost achingly sensitive, but he made no move to pinch or nip. Instead, his mouth traveled languorously from one to the other, and then he leaned up to tangle his hand in her hair. He held her still, pulling her lower, and slowly ravished her mouth with his. She slid her tongue into his mouth, and he groaned as she teasingly slid it in and out.
She could feel the moment the tension changed. There was a shift in the atmosphere between them. He was kissing her with more ferocity, and she could feel the tug of excitement as he pulled her close to him. Even on his knee he was a powerful man.
Just as she was ready to give in to that energy entirely, he reined himself in, smiling up at her ruefully.
“That’s not how I want things to go.”
“What do you mean?”
“Let me show you.”
