Jack Donner arrives at Whiskers' just in time for a wedding, but so has someone else, whose motives aren’t quite so pure.

There’s a cook’s position open at Whiskers' Seaside Inn and Jack Donner thinks he’s just the man for the job. Resumé and references in hand, he applies to fill the spot and lands himself a gig that will pay his bills, not to mention give him a room with a killer view. He’s doesn’t expect to meet the sexiest hunk imaginable, but that turns out to be another perk of the job.

Quinn Stevens is the handsome minister preparing to unite the inn owners, Ethan Roberts and Cade Wyatt, in marriage. When he arrives to discuss the ceremony, he’s bowled over by the new cook and sexual sparks fly between them.

Jack’s intrigued by the bride ghost who visits him in the night, until her actions take a sinister turn. It seems the view’s not the only thing ‘killer’ at the inn. With his great new job in jeopardy, Jack struggles to save it, and the fragile relationship he’s forged with the reverend. He and Quinn soon discover if there’s going to be a wedding, they have work to do. Can they solve the mystery of Catherine’s 1898 nuptials so Ethan and Cade—and everyone else at Whiskers’—can live happily ever after?

Reader Advisory: This book contains hot MM sexual action.

ETHAN’S CHOICE
Book #1 in the Kindred Spirits Series
Jude Mason & Jenna Byrnes
ISBN: 978-1-906811-72-3
Publisher: Total E-Bound
Genre: m/m, paranormal

Today may be your lucky day.

With the next in the series coming out very soon, Jude thought a tease, a taste, a glimmer of what’s to come might be appropriate.

Need more—a little excerpt perhaps to wet your whet your appetite, maybe encourage you to dive in? Check it out:

Someone was walking towards the ocean—a man. He was too far away to tell a great deal more, except he had wide shoulders and seemed to be muscular. And he had long hair.

Could it be Cade?

Ethan stepped closer to the base of a tree and peered across the sand, trying to make out more detail. The figure reached the water and, with a sudden spurt of energy, raced ahead eight or ten paces and dived in.

Ethan watched and waited for the man to surface, certain it was Cade. It had to be. Who else would have that long, sexy hair and be on this beach at exactly the right time?

The moon hovered on the distant horizon, its curved brilliance sending a long trail across the ocean, reaching for the very beach he was observing. A cooling breeze wafted across his face, and he sighed with pleasure. The figure, Cade, surfaced and swam out for what seemed like a mile but couldn’t have been more than a few dozen metres. When he began the journey back to shore, Ethan wondered if he should leave the man alone. The voyeur in him decided to stay.

A few moments later, he was glad he had.

The man walked out of the water and headed straight for where Ethan stood. Luckily, Ethan was in shadows and close to the tree so he knew he wouldn’t be seen easily. He was sure he’d never be able to explain why he was lurking in the woods if he was noticed.

It was indeed Cade, and as he got even nearer, Ethan’s heart raced. The man was naked. His midsection was paler than the rest of his skin, but not much, and the thatch of dark hair around his cock and balls stood out starkly.

Cade stopped when he was no more than half a dozen metres from Ethan. For the first time, Ethan noticed the blanket spread across the sand. Cade’s clothing lay at one end, and the man reached for a towel next to the pile.

Ethan was mesmerised. The man was truly a delight for the eyes and seemed so at ease with his nakedness. Once Cade had dried himself, he sprawled on the blanket.

Perhaps it was time for Ethan to slink back to his room, since the show was over. A wonderful show to be sure, and one he’d think about later when he showered or lay alone in bed. He’d just eased away from the tree when Cade moved, catching Ethan’s attention once more. Cade’s hand crossed his belly and moved down to the sleeping giant between his thighs.

Ethan froze. He scarcely dared take a breath for fear he’d make some sound. 

The moon was just right. The silver rays seemed focussed on the lovely man sprawled before him. Cade slid his fingers around his cock and squeezed. His erection rose, thickening as it lengthened, until it looked full and hard.

Ethan gaped and slipped his hand around the growing bulge in his jeans. Holy fuck! His mind raced. Will the guy really do it?

He didn’t dare blink or even breathe too heavily in case he missed something or disturbed the fantasy lying in front of him.


Oh my! It seems Ethan’s walk on the beach has been interrupted. *Ahem!* You think he minds?

Meet New Authors and Oh what a day!

Hi everyone!

I thought I'd slip a little something in here, just a little something to entertain you. As I mentioned, yesterday was a tad nuts here. As some of you know, I'm Canadian, so yesterday was also our Thanksgiving, which is a holiday. Of course, that's also when things go wrong, holidays I mean.

Seeing as it was the holiday, hubby was home, which was a good thing. We'd planned on going out for a while, but just as we were getting ready to go, our furnace started making odd noises, then screeched and stopped. Grrr!

Now, our home is new, we had it built 7 years ago, so furnaces and such shouldn't screech and quit. You'd think. Anyhoo, poor hubby went into fixit mode and tore into it. He's determined it's the fan motor. So, we've been huddled together for warmth, *G*, until today. He's got in touch with the furnace people and we've got a new motor ordered, so everything's fine, it's just been frustrating. And, of course, it's going to be expensive. Furnaces are, it seems.

Now, it's back to writing. Got my little heater going and a sweater at hand, if I need it.

Have an awesome day everyone! Now on to this blog hop thing.
Hugs

Trapped: Available now, in ebook and audio

  Publisher: Total E-Bound
ISBN 978-0-58715-309-8
Genre: Paranormal / Werewolves 

When his wife and were-mate becomes the victim of poachers, can Gareth save her before their secret is discovered, or, will they both be trapped?

Gareth and Sienna are a normal, crazy-in-love married couple, who just happen to become werewolves with the full moon.

When a trio of poachers captures Sienna, Gareth does everything in his power to free her. But he knows rescuing her is not enough. If the poachers are not brought down, the very existence of the were species could be in jeopardy. He hatches a plan in which the hunters become the hunted.

Will they take the bait? And who will be trapped?

EXCERPT

“Sienna, quit it.” Gareth shifted around, trying to dislodge his lady’s fingers from under his arms. He was incredibly ticklish, and she loved to torment him, especially when he was trying to watch a movie she didn’t particularly want to see. She liked her romance, he preferred action.

Tendrils of long, dark auburn hair slapped his face as Sienna straddled his thighs. “Make me!” She dug her fingers in deep, sending him into new fits of laughter.

“Damn, woman, stop it before I have to paddle your ass.” He grabbed her by the forearms and held her hands down. It took him a moment to catch his breath, and when he did, he leaned forward and ran his stubbly chin across her chest. The pale orange tank top didn’t do a thing to protect her from his day’s growth of beard, and she yelped her surprise.
“Ouch, Gareth, jeeze!” She twisted, trying to break his hold on her and failed.

“You’re not going to let me watch my movie, are you?” He nipped at her breast through the thin cotton. The soft mound pressed against his face, his nose flattened, and he inhaled deeply, taking as much of her scent as he could. She smelled amazing. Woman and animal, lust and the unmistakable aroma of desire filled his nostrils.

He suddenly wanted her. Fingers tight around her arms, he pulled them high overhead, delighting in the curve of her body. He nuzzled harder against her breast, his teeth sinking into the taut nipple. Her moan urged him to the other side where he bit and chewed on its twin.

“Movie? What movie?” she moaned in a husky whisper.

She arched her back and shoved her hips forward, grinding into him. The sweet, musky scent of her cunt rose, and in moments, his temperature soared. His cock throbbed to life, pressing against her barely covered sex, the baggy cotton shorts giving him glimpses of the curly, dark pubic hair he knew adorned her plump folds.

“No movie. Hold on.” Gareth slipped his free arm around her body and got to his feet. He released her arms, and they instantly went around his neck, her legs around his waist, gripping him. Holding her ass tight, he staggered towards their bedroom, ignoring the blare of the TV behind him. They passed a large window, and when he glanced outside, he saw the sky darkening.

Soon, the moon would rise.

His heartbeat raced even faster. His skin itched.

Sienna dragged her fingers across his back, sending a new shiver of excitement straight to his cock. It pulsed against his jeans.

Gareth kicked the door open and took a couple of staggering steps into the room, stopping when he felt the bed bump his shins. He lowered Sienna onto the soft covers and stepped back. He turned and walked to the nearby window and pushed open the curtains. Trees lined their small backyard. There was plenty of light left to illuminate their room, and he was smiling when he turned to face Sienna.

“Come here, sexy brute,” she murmured, reaching out for him. She lay on her back, her legs bent at the knees, her feet flat on the bed. Her nipples were erect, the tight nubbins like tiny buttons pressed against the cotton and pointing directly at him.

He strode to her, stopping at the foot of the bed. “Yes, ma’am. You wanted something?” Gareth swayed his hips side to side then thrust himself forward.

“Yeah, you.” Sienna lifted a foot and placed it over the bulge at his crotch. “And this.” She manoeuvred her foot around, stroking him through his jeans.
