I lifted again, but this time he followed me up, driving his hips into me, pushing that hot thickness as deep as it could go. Our skin slapped together, and when I drove him back to the floor, I knew there wasn’t going to be a whole lot more of this before I absolutely exploded. Suddenly, the sweat running down my face, trickling down the hollow of my throat was all mine. I drew a deep breath through my nose to try and quell the blast I knew was coming.
He drove upward one more time, grinding against my sweetest place. He clutched my ass with those incredible hands, and with his body fully inside mine, I felt him tighten.
A twitch on his face and then so deep in me that I felt it shake my core came right before the his mouth fell all the way open. I threw my head back, surrendering to the white heat that I knew I couldn’t fight any more.
“De...lilah,” he groaned, with such ferocity that I felt his voice rumble in my chest. “I can’t hold... on...”
“Don’t,” I whispered. “I’m right there.”
He clutched me hard, grinding me against his body, and I fell forward. My hands flattened against the floor and my lips an inch from his. In that second, I opened my eyes in a dreamy haze to find him staring back at me. “I want to watch when you... kiss me...”
Our lips tangled into one another, our tongues swirling together. The tide inside me broke.
I felt him erupt, I felt his entire body shake, and then every muscle in me went taut. The cords in my neck thrummed. A hum of tension carried through my entire being. He sucked my bottom lip, and then bit down, but only for a moment.
Jake moaned my name again, and breathed into me. The tension ripping through me collapsed all at once. I tried to tell him how good it felt, to tell him I loved him, but it was just garbled mumbles of absolute pleasure, of complete release, that came out.
We lay there, our bodies entertwined, for what seemed like eternity as we both shuddered and shook together. As my heart slowed, and I started to breathe at a pace vaguely resembling normal, I blinked a few times, clearing the spots from my vision. Jake had a dazed, almost uselessly happy look on his face when I rolled off the top of him, sighed heavily, and nestled against him. He wrapped his arm around me, and we stayed just like that, staring up at the ceiling, as the gentle air from the massive overhead fan cooled the sweat, and the sex, that covered us.
“I used to read a lot,” I said, with my eyes half open and my soul laid bare. “Fairy tales, fantasy books, that sort of thing.”
“Yeah?”
I nodded, my sweat-soaked hair rasping against Jake’s chest. I nuzzled against him, and threw a leg over his. He was stirring again, I felt, as I brushed my thigh across his half-hard girth. “Why’d you stop?” he asked a moment later.
I shrugged. “Life caught up with me, I guess. Got busy, didn’t have time anymore between working and exercising and whatever else.”
“There’s more though,” he said.
“A psychic werewolf?” I giggled softly.
“You’re just not exactly hard to read. You never say anything without a reason to say it.”
For a minute, I lay there silently. “I guess I stopped believing it. All the happy endings and the big adventures. I got caught up in the day to day, you know?”
“But something changed,” he said, kissing the side of my face softly.
“Someone told me that love does funny things to a person,” I said, pushing up on an elbow to watch his face.
“That sounds familiar,” he grinned. “But you know, those things do happen. I found mine.”
“Found your what?” I asked, already knowing what he was going to say.
“I found my happy ending. She’s right here. Funny how life works out sometimes, isn’t it?”
I kissed him on the neck, then stared at his face, into his eyes. “No,” I said. “It’s perfect.”

Lion in Wait
Cassiopeia is lanky, quick-witted, and spent most of her life running from one thing or another. She escaped an overbearing family, and a series of dangerous misadventures, but then landed square in the midst of a traveling carnival. In the gritty, grimy dirt circus, love is the furthest thing from Cass’s mind – she’s much more occupied with avoiding her boss Lyle’s slimy fingers.
Just about the only things Cass has left are her mind, a few books, and impossibly vivid dreams of a man she’s never met, but who she knows – somehow – is going to find her. And when he does? Well, who knows? But it’s gotta be better than the circus.
Oh, and then there’s the lion who sleeps in her trailer.
At first, Lex was impossible to control. He clawed, he snapped, he roared and raged like any lion would, but somehow never hurt anyone, like there was something more to him than caged animal ferocity. He lashed out at everyone except for a certain woman with curly brown hair and a thing for khaki cargo pants.
No one knew that the REAL Lex – the same man Cass dreamed of for so very long – was hiding beneath the fur and claws. When the lion-shifter lays eyes on the woman he knows he can’t live without, this king of the jungle can’t rest until he’s taken his queen. And when he first reveals the tall, dark and handsome underneath the tail and teeth? Cass isn’t too surprised that the man IN her dreams turned out to be the man OF her dreams.
Bearly Hanging On
A Jamesburg Shifters novel
Jamie Ampton is a sharp-tongued, pointy-toothed, vampy shifter with a penchant for neatly done-up hair buns and a habit of attracting EXACTLY the wrong sort of guy. Guys with a dash of arrogance, a pinch of cocky swagger turn her head... but when her last one turned out to be more “self-important jackass” and less “gruff and strong and takes what he wants,” it left her cold.
So to speak.
Ryan Drake has a dark past and a mysterious present. When he shows up demanding the town alpha do his part to care for Jamesburg’s aging shifters, the first thing Jamie notices is that her heart starts beating a little quicker. The second is a knot in the pit of her stomach. And then, before she can catch her breath, he stares straight into her eyes.
She’s never been one for the big, loud, muscled-up types, but in the space of two breaths, the elegantly detached Jamie finds herself falling for a bear.
Little does Jamie know that before he stomped into that courtroom, Ryan decided that nothing was gonna stop him from getting what he wanted. But, once he saw Jamie? Suddenly there were two things that this massive blue-eyed alpha bear were going to have, no matter what it took: help for his friends... and Jamie.
And Ryan? Ryan is one bear who ALWAYS takes what he wants.

Erik wants to claim her forever, mark Izzy as his honest-to-goodness mate. Izzy wants him to quit being such a coward and just come out and do it, but will a good old-fashioned small town scandal make them keep their love a secret, and in the process, kill it before it can grow?
Two Bears are Better than One
A Broken Pine Bears Novel
From USA TODAY and NEW YORK TIMES best-selling author Lynn Red comes a steamy, sexy, hilarious alpha werebear romance... with two times the bears!
Jill Appleton is a witty, slightly-lanky, tall-enough-to-make-most-guys-nervous biologist with a thing for bears.
Whoa, whoa, not like that - she's got a thing for SAVING bears.
When she hears stories of a secretive group of Kodiaks in the Appalachian Mountains, she knows she's got to check them out. First of all, they're not supposed to be there, and second – bears that live in a pack? That's about as rare as biologists who love big crowds. Or, when it comes to Jill, it’s as rare as one of her dates not turning into a train wreck. She's all but given up on finding that one guy who the universe decided was right for her.
Good thing she's about to meet two.
Rogue and King, joint alphas of the Broken Pine werebear clan, could not be more different. King is quiet, stalwart, and strong. He holds clan traditions and history sacred, and refuses to wear anything but a loincloth – the way the elders did. Rogue would rather get a face full of werewolf teeth than bother with all that. He’s feral, wild, loyal to a fault, and loves to guzzle craft beer straight from a keg. And also – a loincloth? Jeans all the way for this bear, thank you very much.
With the outside world coming closer to Broken Pine territory all the time, and the werewolf packs getting more riled up than ever, something is wrong. But, when the two alphas - who according to clan law, both mate one woman, and mate for life - see Jill making her way to camp?
The two alphas feel their hearts beat together, and know in that second that no matter what, no matter how, they will have her, they will possess her. They’ll make her theirs at any cost.

From USA TODAY best-selling author Anya Karin writing as Lynn Red comes a steamy, seductive, hilarious and delicious alpha werebear romance.
Curvy, witty, carrot-topped Violet Larue is a fox shifter with a goal – she NEEDS to find herself a mate before she goes absolutely nuts.
After a string of bad relationships that left her heartbroken, and a bunch of dates that were more pie-in-the-face than swept-off-her-feet, Violet is just about ready to throw in the towel. She wants someone to chase her, to possess her, to make her his mate.
Somehow convinced to attend the only cage fight she’s ever seen, Violet has no idea that she’s about to lay eyes on just the bear for her.
Muscled, inked-up and one of the most dangerous fighters in the world, “Crag” Morgan is the bear of Violet’s dreams. With a dark past and an even darker present, love is nowhere near the top of Crag’s to-do list... until he’s looking around the crowd and catches a glimpse of a redhead with eyes that make his heart skip a beat.
He is everything she ever wanted. A self-assured, massively powerful alpha with a waist just perfect for wrapping her legs around? Uh, yes please! But little does Violet know that in the split second Crag spied her in the audience, she stole his heart. The bad boy fighter decided then and there to do whatever it takes to claim her... forever.
