~Excerpt~
The wind blew hard against him, and his body acted as a natural resistance to the onslaught of a Massachusetts winter. Three months into the school year, November had hit the northeastern part of the United States with a vengeance. Any sane person would be inside where it was warm. But she had come outside, and he’d followed—as though a length of invisible rope connected him to her.
He loved to watch her.
The way she moved. The way she sometimes didn’t move.
He rubbed the stubble on his chin. How long had it been since he’d shaved? A day? A week? A month? The longer he spent with the humans, the more his body adapted to their form, which was exactly what he’d planned and why he’d risked everything to come to Northern Tide University. The more time he spent in this dimension, the less he had to try to resemble them.
Not understanding total assimilation was exactly what he craved, his father had warned him this would happen as if blending would deter him from his plan. Only he hadn’t counted on her. Alexandra Morgan. She stood staring up at a white sorority house at the very top of the Greek hill the university was so proud of. Queen House—the one to rule them all—where dreams of young girls were crushed on a regular basis. All the female students desired to be Lambda Chi Sigma. The smartest, prettiest, strongest-willed women the university produced came from the sorority housed there. But first, they had to be accepted into the hallowed halls.
Unbeknownst to the human population of the school, LCS took only one type of student—female werewolves. No matter how many human girls threw their best smiles, hopes, dreams, and money at LCS, they would never be offered the opportunity to pledge. Unless they shifted under the full moon, they were no one.
If he wasn’t mistaken, Alexandra met that particular requirement.
So, why was she so nervous?
A Letter from Rebecca Royce
Thank you so much for buying this book. I was so excited to be able to write a Roar story for Decadent Publishing. It was fun to get to spend time thinking like a college student again. I hope you like Kieran and Alex.

The Black Hills Wolves #decadentpublishing #opencall #newseries #multiauthored
I’ve been keeping a secret. And no, I’m not pregnant, this secret has
been going on a lot longer than 9 months and it involves way too many other
people. So, I guess I should back up and
say that I’m not the only one keeping a secret but I’ve brought a ton of other
authors into my conspiracy.
Let me tell you about it.
Two plus years ago, I was at what
was then called the Naughty Sleepover, now you have probably heard about it as
the Wild Wicked Weekend. A writers/readers conference in San Antonio. Actually,
I had been very hesitant to go. I hadn’t had a very positive time at other
conferences up until then. But, one of my publishers, Decadent Publishing, had
heard I had moved to Austin, Texas and encouraged me to attend the conference
as it is in San Antonio. I went, fully prepared to leave if it wasn’t worthwhile.
Well, the conference was
fantastic and by the end up of it, I was brainstorming with author Heather Long
about a shared world wolf pack. We got
really excited and in the way only authors can do had developed an interesting,
hot, developing world that allows authors to create stories and characters that
I don’t think could be found anywhere else.
Decadent agreed to publish the books (and help me keep them
private). We’ve all been really excited
and through invitation only (in order to help the world get developed without too
many hands stirring the pot) we have fourteen authors (and more coming!) having
written books.
The Black Hills Wolves will
release in January of 2015 with the first book in the series, my book, Wolf
Returns, which tells the story of Drew Tao who has returned home to oust his
father and reclaim his mate.
The good news? The Black Hills is
now open for submission and we hope you’ll join us in all the creative mayhem and
amazing fun.
Decadent Publishing invites you
to join the Black Hills Wolves pack. Dawn has come to Los Lobos and a nearly
decimated wolf pack has found its feet again. Drew Tao has ousted his father,
the Alpha, reclaimed his mate, and is determined to make things better than
they ever were before.
Length—18,000-30,000 words
Heat Level—3-5
What we’re looking for:
I. These are multi-authored shared world
stories. All authors are invited, even encouraged to use already created
characters from other stories as long as the characters stay true to the world
and the characterizations given to the character by the original author.
II. All authors are required to use, at some
point, Gee the Were-Bear bartender in their story.
III. This is a shifter series, so at least one
of the main characters should shift at least once in the story.
IV. All stories should have a HEA or HFN
ending.
V. While the primary story focus is the
wolf-shifter genre, a mixed genre story is welcome, including but not limited
to: contemporary, suspense, paranormal, time travel, thriller, military, and
new adult.
VI. Please email submissions@decadentpublishing.com
to receive the official copy of the series bible. Since the bible is always
changing, please check back more than once, especially if it takes you a long
time to write your story.
Some of the authors who have
joined me—and hopefully you as either a reader or a writer—on this journey:
Mahalia Levey:
Being smart and sassy with a
great sense of humor comes easily for Mahalia Levey. An avid reader of books,
she found herself enchanted with disappearing completely into the worlds
authors created. One day she vowed to herself she'd be one of them. Then family
life came, and college right after. Swayed from her childhood course of action,
it took many years for her to get back to that place she held dear as a child.
Now she is running full steam ahead to keep up with the many ideas flowing
freely. She plans on taking her work to higher levels and expanding her genres.
Her main focus is giving her readers variety. Her works in progress include
Interracial, Paranormal, Fantasy and Contemporary Erotic Romance. Taking
characters and watching them grow past what she's imagined is her true passion.
Lia Davis:
Lia Davis is a mother to two
young adults and three equally special kitties, a wife to her soul mate, and a
lover of romance. She and her family live in Northeast Florida battling
hurricanes and very humid summers. But it's her home and she loves it!
An accounting major, Lia has
always been a dreamer with a very active imagination. The wheels in her head
never stop. She ventured into the world of writing and publishing in 2008 and
loves it more than she imagined. Writing is stress reliever that allows her to
go off in her corner of the house and enter into another world that she
created, leaving real life where it belongs.
Her favorite things are spending
time with family, traveling, reading, writing, chocolate, coffee, nature and
hanging out with her kitties.
Afton Locke:
Afton Locke is a USA Today
Bestselling Author who prefers romantic fantasies to everyday reality.
Fantasies take her to different times, races, places, and beyond. She lives
with her husband, dog, several unnamed dust bunnies, and a black cat that can
be scary or cuddly, depending on the current book. When she’s not writing,
Afton enjoys hiking, cooking, crafts, and reading.
Melissa Limoges:
Melissa Limoges lives along the
Gulf Coast with her OCD cat, Mr. Tibbs. Tax appraiser by day, romance writer by
night, she enjoys anything coffee related, traveling, and reading happily-ever-afters.
Taryn Kincaid:
Writing romance is Taryn's third
career. She could tell you the other two, but then she'd have to smother you in
honey and strap you to an ant hill.
Katalina
Leon
Katalina Leon is an artist and author
who can’t commit to a single genre. Her favorite playgrounds are historical, Sci-fi,
contemporary, and most of all paranormal realms. Katalina brings a sense of
adventure and a touch of the mystical to erotic romance. She believes there's a
daring heroine inside every woman who wants to take a wild ride with a strong
worthy hero.

Heather Long:
National bestselling author,
Heather Long, likes long walks in the park, science fiction, superheroes, Marines,
and men who aren’t douche bags. Her books are filled with heroes and heroines
tangled in romance as hot as Texas summertime. From paranormal historical
westerns to contemporary military romance, Heather might switch genres, but one
thing is true in all of her stories—her characters drive the books. When she’s
not wrangling her menagerie of animals, she devotes her time to family and
friends she considers family. She believes if you like your heroes so real you
could lick the grit off their chest, and your heroines so likable, you’re sure
you’ve been friends with women just like them, you’ll enjoy her worlds as much
as she does.
Celia Breslin:
Celia lives in California with
her husband, daughter, and two feisty cats. She writes urban fantasy and
paranormal romance, and has a particular fondness for vampires, werewolves, and
the Fae. When not writing, you’ll find her exercising, reading a good book or
indulging her addiction to Joss Whedon’s TV shows and movies.
Cara Carnes:
Born in small-town Texas, Cara
Carnes was a princess, a pirate, fashion model, actress, rock star and Jon Bon
Jovi’s wife all before the age of 13.
In reality, her fascination for
enthralling worlds took seed somewhere amidst a somewhat dull day job and a
wonderful life filled with family and friends. When she’s not cemented to her
chair, Cara loves travelling, photography and reading.
Cam Cassidy:
Cam Cassidy grew up in a small
Ohio farming community. The lack of
neighbors and companionship of mostly cows, dogs and horses left plenty of time
for her passion of reading to flourish.
It wasn't long before her imagination ran away and she was creating her
own stories.
As an adult, Cam is married and
the mother of three who loved keeping her on her toes. The ever present cup of coffee in her hand
and notebook in her purse has become a trademark. While she works full time in the medical
field, her spare time is filled reading and writing. Watching her daughter ride horses, the boys
dirt bikes, four wheelers, running around from one sports field to the next,
she never missed jotting down that all important plot twist.
Her love romantic suspense and
paranormal creatures, werewolves in particular, are showcased in her recent
works. Stay on the look out vampires,
some alpha military men and cowboys that are all screaming in her head to get
their stories done.
Somewhere between running kids
and catching up on laundry, her hard work paid off with her first publication
of Wolf's Heart by Fated Desires Publishing.
And these are just the few who sent me their bios. Busy Authors! Please visit Decadent Publishing (www.decadentpublishing.com) for more information. Can't wait to start sharing these books with you in January.

Last Ascension has released!
Last Ascension, the final book in the Capes series, has released and I am super excited (and also kind of sad to say goodbye) about it.
Lael Hudson has had enough. He made a terrible mistake years earlier and has never been able to forgive himself. His brothers don’t trust him and life seems like a series of pointless encounters—one after another, all meaningless. Until he makes a decision—leave the Guardians forever. Start a new life, one of his own making.
Margot Fox woke up one day in a small apartment in a city she didn’t recognize without any memories at all. She has one piece of paper in her pocket warning her of danger. What is she to do? When the little money she does have runs out she has no choice but to seek help outside, which is when she runs smack into Lael Hudson.
Despite his decision to stay out of Guardian affairs, Lael can’t deny his super human powers make him want to protect the woman who is convinced she must have been abducted by aliens. Together, they will discover the truth is more heinous than either of them could have imagined and that they will have to face the truth of their pasts if they ever to have a future.

Cover Reveal -A Shadow's Embrace by Cara Carnes
.jpg)
On the run from evil, her only hope is the Shadows.
Devyn James escaped hell
once. Kidnapped from foster care at seven and raised in a psychic genetics
testing facility, she survived by hiding her ability. A rare technopath, she
eventually broke out of the facility with the help of the Shadow Elites—General
Conver’s super soldiers, who rebelled and now fought to protect psychically
enhanced humans. Determined to help the cause, she formed Indigo Order—a
foundation focused on providing food, shelter, medicine, training and support
for the displaced lower level psychics, especially the children tossed to the
streets by Conver years ago.
For the past few months
Devyn, or Indy as she’s known on the street, has covertly passed intel to the
SEO. Even though the street doesn’t trust the Shadows, she does. They rescued
her once and she knows they’re the only ones who will be able to save her from
Conver and figure out what she uncovered.
Dagan is determined to
save the female being chased by Conver and his squadron. He soon discovers her
identity and vows he’ll do anything to keep her protected—even if it’s from
herself. But the sultry female proves to be a handful when her team is in the
crosshairs. When one of them is captured, he must prove she can trust him and
all he offers, even though he may not believe someone as good as her should be
with a Shadow.
Together they discover
everything is possible when you trust A Shadow’s Embrace.
A
Few of My Favorite Quotes from A Shadow’s
Embrace
“I’m not a dog to pat on the head, you condescending
ass.”—Devyn, A Shadow’s Embrace
“We don’t have time for a conversational fuck right
now. We’re three against nearly a hundred. Those aren’t good numbers. Please
tell me it isn’t just you two.”—Devyn, A Shadow’s Embrace
“Because every boat, airplane, bus, vehicle, horse
cart, and bicycle is under scrutiny, and unless you can sprout wings and fly
our asses out of here, we don’t have much of a choice.”—Dagan, A
Shadow’s Embrace
“Ease off the pissed just a little, babe, because
I’m hanging on by a thread. I’m having a real hard time remembering you aren’t
mine to protect. The more you argue, the hotter I get to prove exactly why I
have the right to handle you.”—Dagan, A Shadow’s Embrace
“You are everything strong and true. You are our
sword, our freedom, our justice. What you are not—can never be—is a freak.
Because if a Shadow Elite like you, the best of our kind, is a freak, then what the hell does that make
the rest of us?”—Devyn, A Shadow’s Embrace
“Thinking I need to stake me claim and give you a
reason not to crush so easily, little bit or not,”—Dagan, A Shadow’s Embrace

The Wicked Bad by Karyn Gerrard
Blurb:
Dark and brooding, Nick Crocetti is a bad boy in looks and
demeanor. Veronica Barnes needs a new start, and Nick is a complication she
doesn’t need.
Can they break down the barriers of past heartbreak, or is
Veronica just a good girl who longs to rub against “the wicked bad”?
Excerpt:
She followed him toward the beach. The shoreline wasn’t very
big, but private, as you couldn’t see the road or much else from their vantage
point. Wonder how many other women he brought here, she thought cynically.
He spread the blanket and assisted her in sitting down.
Again, the touch of his hand made her face flush as well as parts further
south. Nick sat next to her with one leg bent and he rested his arm on the top
of his knee. They sat quietly and gazed out over the water. The waves caressed
the sand with a serene almost hypnotic sound.
“I saw you talking to that wuss, Jake Spooner, as I left the
other day. I can imagine what he said about me,” Nick said in a voice so soft,
she hardly recognized it as his.
Veronica cleared her throat uncomfortably.
Nick laughed. “I see. Go on, amuse me, what did he say?”
“Um, he said you were in prison—” she began.
“Jail. Not prison,” he retorted.
“There’s a difference?”
“You’ve got the cop for a brother, you tell me,” Nick
snapped. He shook his head, more gently he said, “Sorry. It’s a touchy subject.
City jail, for assault and destruction of property. Prison usually means a
state or federal beef. Mine was local and a long time ago. I did my time and
it’s over. I don’t like talking about it.”
“He called you a thug and said you deal drugs among other
things.” She shouldn’t be telling him this, but the words tumbled out of her.
“Really? And still you went out with me? Are you some thrill
seeker, one of those good girls eager to rub up against some wicked bad? Is
that why you’re here? I’ll be as bad as you want, just say the word.”
His voice grew tight and edgy. Barely restrained anger
simmered below the surface, she could hear it.
“I’m just telling you what Jake said, you asked.”
Nick stared at her for several moments. “Yeah. I did. Sorry.
I haven’t been out on a date in awhile.”
“You haven’t been with any women...”
“Oh, I didn’t say I haven’t been with women, just haven’t
been on a date.” The right corner of his mouth twitched in what Veronica
supposed was amusement.
About Karyn:
Karyn lives in a small town in the western corner of Ontario , Canada
Karyn’s been happily married for a long time to her own
hero. His encouragement keeps her moving forward.
Infamous by Irene Preston
Blurb:
Jessica Sinclair is Hollywood
Excerpt:
In the elevator, he fumbled for
the room key that would allow them access to the suites on the top floors. His
hands felt big and awkward as they swiped the key through the reader. If you stripped me naked on the hors
d’oeuvres table. . . .Christ. She always had a way of knocking him
off balance, of peeling away every last bit of self control. She had thrown the
words out so casually, and as soon as she said them he had pictured doing just
that—imagined shoving aside the crudités and shrimp cocktail and spreading her
out like his own personal feast.
The doors closed and she was in
his arms. He pushed her against the elevator wall, his tongue thrusting
urgently into her mouth. She wound around him, humming incoherent words of
encouragement. They weren’t nearly close enough. She tilted her head back,
inviting his tongue deeper. He was drowning in the taste of her when he felt
her hands slide down between them. His body jerked.
They were still in the elevator.
He was damned if he was going to make love in a public elevator. He managed to
wrest her hands away from him and anchored them above her head with one of his
own.
“Not here.” Could she hear the desperation in his voice?
About Irene

His Fantasy Maid by Susan
Blexrud
Blurb:
On the eve of Jake Sinclair’s bachelor party, his best man
surprises him with a fantasy maid named Amy. Clad in a bikini, she cleans his
house and jump starts his heart. She's beautiful, smart, and compassionate. Why
is a woman like this working as a fantasy maid? A few days later, with thoughts
still distracted by the enigmatic Amy, Jake crashes his car and wakes in the
hospital emergency room where his fantasy maid is now wearing scrubs and
wielding a stethoscope. Is she an hallucination, or is his fantasy maid a
doctor?
Excerpt:
If I believed the adage, “you are what you do,” my
self-concept would be in the toilet, so to speak. I clean houses in a bikini or French maid
get-up, client’s choice, which contributes little to making the world a better
place. As a result, my adage is, “you
are what you become,” because I’m becoming a doctor.
But today, I’m Amy Maitland, fantasy maid.
My best friend and fellow medical resident, Ellen, knows
about my undercover life working for Fantasy Maids, but she’s the only
one. If word got out at the College of Medicine
I’d be the laughingstock of the University of Central
Florida
That being said, it’s not the worst job in the world. I’ve been a fantasy maid for almost two
years, and so far, none of my clients has tried to assault me. But it’s always
a possibility, considering Florida

Blurb:
In Prague Chicago
advertising agency, Laura cashes in her stock options, quits her job, and moves
to Prague
Excerpt:
“Oh!” Laura cried out. There were other passengers in the
railcar, but Byron did not seem to care. Presumably, he knew what they could
(or could not) get away with on a train in Europe .
He glided his hand past her panties and went right for her gash.
“Oh!” she cried out again. Their railcar entered a tunnel
while another train blasted by them, gusting in the opposite direction. They
were engulfed by a deep rumble and darkness. Byron sheltered her in his arms,
protecting her from any danger. When they emerged from the tunnel, they were
overwhelmed by sunlight.
He covered her eyes with his hands, as if blindfolding her.
Finally, he kissed her on the mouth. His fingers separated, allowing in a burst
of white light. It was ordinary daylight and she was on a midday train,
somewhere in Bohemia Space
Mountain
The tip of his tongue entered her mouth and teased her. She
wanted it down her throat. From the tacky seat, she lifted up her buttocks,
struggling to be as close to him as possible.
He reached inside the low, scooped out neckline of her
peasant dress. He attacked her nipples, brushing them back and forth. Laura was
so stimulated she wanted to scream. He restrained her by kissing her again. Now
his tongue aggressively explored her. She sucked on it, wanting much, much
more.

Her New Worst Enemy by
Christy McKellen
Blurb:
Six months ago Ellie Holdsworthy’s life was all planned out
- kids, wedding, happy ever after - until her boyfriend dumped her for another
woman. Now her best friend, Penny - an heiress to a small fortune - looks set
to run off with a gold-digger and Ellie is determined to save her from certain
doom. Unfortunately, the only person who can help is the one person she’d
rather not ask...
Little does Ellie know, persuading her brother’s best friend
- commitment phobic, playboy businessman, Gideon DeLancy- to hold an
intervention at his beautiful Georgian manor would be the easy part. Keeping
her hands off him is a whole other matter.
Excerpt:
Gideon grasped her wrists and pulled them behind her body,
pushing her breasts forwards even more. He held both wrists captive with one
hand and pressed his body closer to her, trapping them. She gasped as his erection
pushed against the top of her buttocks.
“See how much you turn me on,” he whispered again into her
ear, his eyes not leaving hers in the reflection.
Blood pounded between her legs causing a hard ache of need,
and she pushed her buttocks against him, loving the feeling of his obvious
arousal for her.
As she stared back at the mirror she was amazed to see how
different she looked now. Her breasts were high and full pushed forward and with
her pelvis tipped back, her stomach seemed flatter and tighter. For the first
time in a very long time she looked at her body, really looked at it, and liked
what she saw.
“You see,” he said, kissing along the top of her shoulder.
“Gorgeous.”
He released his hold on her captured wrists and ran his
fingers across where her collar bones pushed against her flesh, to the dip of
her neck, then skimmed down over her breasts, down her stomach to the top of her
jeans.
He pulled the buttons roughly open and slipped his hands
inside, under her panties, before pushing them down over her legs.
“Step out of them,” he murmured, and she did as she was
told. She was now standing naked in front of a mirror. In front of Gideon.
“Bend forward and put your hands against the mirror,” he
said.
“What?” Her voice was shaky and light with arousal.
“Just do it, Ellie,” he said, kicking her clothes away from
them.
About Christy:
B.K. (Before Kids) Christy worked as a Video and Radio Producer
in London and Nottingham .
After a decade of dealing with nappies, tantrums and endless questions from
toddlers, she’s come out the other side and moved into the wonderful world of

(her dream job!).
Blitzkreig Love by Olivia
Olteano
Blurb:
“Don’t try to be my hero. Don’t care about me. Don’t let
go.”
Twenty-two-year-old Beatrice Stevens lives to dance. Two
years ago she walked in on the picture of horror: after stabbing her mom 34
times, her father killed himself. She found his corpse still clutching at her
mom’s, determined not to let go of her even in death. Now Beatrice freaks out
if she’s hugged, loomed over or receives attention from daddy-type guys. Unless
she’s dancing—the one thing that feeds her soul and saves her time after time.
Anthony Gowl wants Beatrice from the moment she bumps her
adorable nose into his chest. That desire turns into a burning need after he
sees her dance. But he’s the overprotective type—he can’t help it, it’s part of
him ever since his sister ODed seven years ago. His savior complex makes him
the perfect opposite of what Beatrice needs.
But she can’t seem to shake him. He’s both scary and
exciting, even when he kneels at her feet. And the closer he gets, the more
that toxic waste in her soul threatens to explode.
Excerpt:
“Jesus freaking Christ, yes! I’m comin — ”
I froze there. Right before me stood tall, gorgeous, and
annoying Anthony Gowl. And he was grinning.
“Is this a nightmare?” I muttered under my breath.
“Judging by your sleepwear, more of a fantasy. But I’m awake,
so I don’t know what that makes this.”
I frowned and looked down. My sleepwear was a pair of shorts
and a top. Well, not showing more skin than the costumes. “What’s wrong with my
sleepwear?”
“Not a thing. But it looks so … intimate. I like your morning
look. Truly beautiful women are beautiful right when they wake up.”
I snorted. “Whatever. You clearly know nothing of women if
you think that. Now what are you doing here?”
“Will you let me in, or are we talking on the hall?”
I thought about it. The only other person living here was
Doug, so I was sort of okay talking in the door like that. But he just looked
so hopeful, like a puppy. I almost felt bad to keep him there. So I shrugged
and turned around, heading for the kitchen. “I’m making coffee. Want some?”
The door clicked closed behind him. “Sure, thanks.”
“Sit down or whatever,” I called over my shoulder.
Once the coffee was all done, I poured two mugs of it and
brought them into the living room. He’d settled down on the couch, coat
shrugged off. He wore chocolate brown pants and a lovely, crisp, white shirt.
Not clean-shaven like he’d been the night before, and I sort of liked this look
better. There was something about men with a maximum of three days’ growth that
was incredibly sexy. I left his mug on the coffee table and walked into the
bedroom, put on a pair of sweats. Sitting with him on my couch, him in a suit
and me in shorts just seemed wrong on so many levels.
“Don’t dress up on my account. I liked your earlier outfit —
”
I held up my hand and took a few gulps of coffee. The nectar
of the gods slid down my throat and made me incredibly happy. I truly woke up
then, my brain getting its gears in motion.
I sighed with delight then fixed my eyes on him. “Okay, now
I’m ready to begin the day. What the hell are you doing here?”
“I think I liked you better before the coffee. You were so
soft and pliable … ”
I squinted my eyes and took another gulp. “Start talking or
I’m calling Doug to throw you out.”
About Olivia:
Livia Olteano is a loud and proud coffee addict, lover of
all things beautiful and incurable romantic.
She believes stories are the best kind of magic there is.
And life would be horrible without magic. Her hobbies include losing herself in
the minds and souls of characters, giving up countless nights of sleep to get
to know said characters, and trying to introduce them to the world. Sometimes
they appreciate her efforts. The process would probably go quicker if they’d
bring her a cup of coffee now and then when stopping by. Characters—what can
you do, right?
