Just One Little Taste--Excerpt from Dragon Shattered

Dragon Shattered will be live on Amazon March 21st. I'm tired of waiting and want to share this story with you now! Yep, I'm that excited. I'm going to have to be patient, but it doesn't hurt to cheat just a little, right? 
All three applicants for the partnership position are qualified. They're all sexy. Ariana just can't choose between them, so she does the logical thing and spends time getting to know each of them. Here's a snippet of Ariana and Quentin that shows both who he is and why he makes such a good match for our kickass heroine.

She smiled just a little, the corner of her full, plum-colored lips turned up, and damn it was sexy. She took a step closer, and I wanted more than anything to touch her.
“And what makes you more qualified than Mr. Stonehall and Mr. Rouland?” she asked.
“This is the part where I’m supposed to skewer the competition, call them out on their faults while I make myself appear more qualified than I am,” I said. “But I’m not going to do that.”
Her brown eyes sparkled with interest.
“I have nothing but admiration and respect for Taylor and Slade. They have everything you asked for—heart, brawn, and brains—and they’re dedicated, hard workers. They’d make excellent partners. As for me,” I said. “I will give you everything that I am. I can show you the seventeen places around the property where our defenses are vulnerable. I can tell you that one of our new hires is already lusting after one of the maids here and, as you know, such an entanglement weakens our position. I can tell you about the background checks I’ve done on the caterer and that her brother has nearly bankrupted the company. No, she’s not necessarily going to steal from our client, but we should be aware of these things, plan for them. And I will spend every waking hour putting you first. Putting Whitesong first.”
With every word I spoke, she leaned closer and closer to me. Her breath touched my cheek. She smelled tart and sweet. ​
She placed her hand on my chest, and I held it there, allowed her to feel the beating sincerity of my heart, of the truth I spoke. She lowered her gaze, and leaned even closer. Her lips crashed against mine.
I let go of her hand to wrap my arms around her, crushing her chest to mine, feeling the mounds of her breasts against me. I tasted her lips with my tongue, and she parted her mouth so I could claim her further and show her, with my mouth, the feelings she stirred within me. Heat, warmth, sweetness. I trailed my lips down to her throat, tasting her skin, sensing her pulse beating rapidly. She moaned as I licked the line where her collar met her chest.
Her moan was caught by the breeze and stolen away, but it seemed to remind her of our position. She straightened in my arms and pulled back, licking her lips.
I let her go, feeling bereft.
“We should get back to the others,” she said. And just like that, the icy barrier was back in place. And just like that, she owned me, body and soul.

All the Dragons!

The start of the new year has brought a lot of firsts for me, all a part of one fabulous project that I am super stoked to share. It's been a scary, wonderful, empowering ride completing the first book in my newest series.
  • Spellbound Souls is all about the dragons. In the past, I've only touched on one of the biggest favorites in the shifter genre. In the new series, dragons are stepping forward into the spotlight to lead.
  • It's a reverse harem trilogy. I've been reading a lot of these lately--a happily ever after story where the heroine has three fated mates instead of one. It's not a love triangle with bickering and angsty drama about picking which guy is for her. It's all of them, and it's a lot of fun.
  • I'm designing swag. Lip gloss and bookmarks are in the works! It's something I've wanted to do forever, but haven't gotten around to it. Now's the time.
  • I have a coauthor. You may have noticed my most recent books have been edited by my awesome author buddy Liza Street. Well, if you haven't, now you know. We're working together on this series, and we really complement each other in writing style.
  • It's extra long. Most of my books run somewhere between 40,000 and 55,000 words. Dragon Shattered is longer. The current draft is about three hundred words shy of 60,000.
  • I'm getting out there and being more social. It can be scary for introverted creative types *raises hand slowly, but hopes no one is watching.* One of the benefits of working with a coauthor is that I'm not just responsible to do these things for myself, but extra motivated because I know she's counting on me. You'll see us around in the next few weeks being social, and participating in author spotlights and takeovers. I'm totally terrified. Please hold my hand.
I know, you've waited long enough. Where's the cover? Here it is in all of its glory.

I'm totally in love with it, from the colors to the shattered wings, to the beautiful model that reflects both the strength and beauty of Ariana, the heroine. Dragon Shattered has the story-driven action, adventure, humor, and character development you've come to expect from all of my books, but with three sexy dragon mates instead of just one.
​Want to know more about the book? Here you go:

Four dragons, one fate.
One soul shattered, four entwined.
Ariana believed she’d been lucky to find love once. No other man could compare to her mate, and his memory lived strong even after his tragic death. 
Whitesong Security became her way of continuing his legacy, making the world a better place through donating money to deserving organizations, and fighting for good causes. 
Silent battles rage amongst the shifter elite over artifacts from the war that claimed Ariana’s mate. To manage the increasing demands for security, she is forced to take a partner.
Ariana must choose between three skilled applicants, but each one calls to her dragon and stirs emotions long forgotten.
It’s only a matter of time before they win her heart. 
Dragon Shattered is the first book in a reverse harem trilogy featuring one strong female dragon shifter and the three hot-as-sin male dragon shifters who win a place in her company...and in her bed.

Dragon Shattered will be available on Amazon March 21. You can add it to your shelf on Goodreads while you wait by clicking that button below.
