Today is the official release of Chocolate Temptation and I’m sure for some of you it’s been a painful wait to find out what will happen to Alexia and the pack.

Many of your favorite characters will be back and will meet some new ones along the way. Those of you that are new to my series will uncover that there are loose endd. Until I close the series I will leave questions for the next story. In each story I open threads, close some, open new ones which will be answered in the next book. Speaking of the next story, the working title is Chocolate Gold. The setting will be 1941 in Libya.

I hope you enjoy Chocolate Temptation as much as I did writing it.

His by pack law, and he wants more than her body. Will she be able to surrender her heart?

Her life, the pack’s future and the lives of countless children the pack smuggles out of Europe are in jeopardy. The Gestapo want her blood to breed an unstoppable regiment endowed with her gifts.

EXCERPT:

“He promised me we’d have a long life together–that he’d be with me for eternity.” She sobbed, still running.

It seemed he wasn’t the only one VanWolf had fed lines to. Caught up to her, Cathen clutched her and lifted her onto his shoulder. “Sorry, princess, I can’t let you do something that could get you captured.”

“Put me down.” She kicked her feet and struck him with her fists.

Cathen lowered her against him, sending awareness through every part of him. Tears slid from the corners of her eyes down her flushed cheeks. “Stop and be silent, or I will put you to sleep.” Didn’t she get the danger they were in?

“VanWolf isn’t going to make it out of there. Don’t you see, there are too many? We must go back.” She hammered her palm into him.

Cathen grabbed her forearm and dragged her along. “We can’t risk them getting hold of you or your blood.”

“But he is going to die because of me.” The terror in her eyes wrenched through him.

However, he could not change the facts. If the Nazis got hold of her, the war would become even more deadly.

Kiss,

Mason

Will the battle for aequitas freedom cost the balance between good and evil?

Aequitas—part angel and demon, fight for their freedom and march to heaven’s doorstep.

Rebel leader Etienne Grant kidnaps his wife and vows to punish her disobedience. Once retribution is paid, Auria will command his army in a most ambitious venture—defeating all the angels in heaven.

Auria can do nothing but surrender for the safety of her sons. Once in Grant’s clutches, she realizes he wields an even greater whip as he fights for her heart and loyalty.

Enemy alliances are forged as they prepare to bring down the Kingdom of God. But the archangels won’t let victory slip from their grasp so easily.

The battle for freedom might cost the balance between good and evil, but will it damn their souls for eternity?

Excerpt:
Once she’d been a general, but she’d been seduced by a very clever man pretending to be a very caring man. Now she was mother to his young, and unable to protect them from the person who could hurt them the most. Their father, Grant.

Every thought or feeling she allowed would be known by him, which meant each sensation betrayed her.

“Such dramatics from you.” He skimmed her chin with his knuckles. “Did I not warn you of the consequences when you vanished in another man’s arms?”

“Oh, you mean when you said, ‘I will hunt you down, my lamb,’?” Power radiated from his form in waves, pulsating.

“Have I not kept my word?” The ridges of his sculpted abdomen brushed her skin, flickering flames in her body. Since she’d taken her leave from him, he’d spent his time strengthening his abilities.

How far-reaching were his powers? What was he? Aequitas were part humanoid, angel and demon. However, born from a human mother and an aequitas father, he contained those in his very genetics. What did that make him?

“An abomination.”

Excerpt:

             When the waiter arrived with menus, Georgia was dizzy with expectation.  She looked at her menu.  There were no prices and it was hard to choose from so many delicious sounding meals.

            “What are you having?”  She leaned toward Trevor.

            “I was going to start with the lobster bisque and move on to the shrimp scampi.”

            “That sounds good.  I’ll have the same.” 

            When the waiter returned, Trevor gave him the orders.  He waited until the man was out of hearing range.

            “Georgia, you know you could have ordered anything.”

            “I know.”  She gazed out the window.  Snow danced over the waves.  Then snowflake and wave would touch as in a kiss and the snow would be gone forever, absorbed into the water. 

            “May I move my seat so I can sit next to you?”

            She thought about saying no, but the truth was she was ready for him to be closer.  “Okay.”

            He moved the chair so he was exactly next to her and they could see the same thing out the window.  “It’s sad, isn’t it?”

            “What?”

            “The snowflake is so exquisite, but its life is so short.  The ocean is eternal.  It loves the snowflake and when they meet.  .  .”

            “The snowflake dies.”  Georgia sighed.

            “No, not at all.  The snowflake changes into water and becomes immortal.”

            Georgia turned to face him.  They were so very close, his mouth above her lips, his eyes gazing deeply into hers.  She could feel him searching for some answer.  Then his lips possessed her mouth so gently, sweetly, as if to caress.  Georgia felt herself melting like the snowflake touching the ocean wave.  She kissed him back.  Every kiss led to another.  She felt his arm steady her.  Her eyes were closed, as his finger brushed her cheek.
