RELENTLESSLY BIG CONTEST Day Twelve!

2009

Today’s Book is Cascadia Wolves: WOLF UNBOUND, by me. Click the link and you can read an excerpt if you so desire!

Blurb: Werewolf Enforcer Tegan Warden has been alone since the death of her mate four years ago. Until she meets Ben Stoner at a local club and she feels something she thought died inside her. Things move very quickly and she finds herself mated to a human man who’s not altogether sure he wants a forever kind of love with a woman he’s just met.

Ben realizes in short order Tegan is not only worth forever love, but a woman who’ll stand at his side without tolerating anything other than a full partnership.

In the bedroom it’s another story, as Ben has finally found a sexual submissive with a spark, and Tegan a man worthy of her submission. Together they work toward building a permanent relationship even as the specter of danger from the Pellini Group grows in the world of wolves.

All around them, the rising violence threatens the Packs and the only thing they know for certain is one another.

Today’s Question: What’s in your TBR pile?

Winners will be announced tomorrow (Tuesday, April 27) at noon pacific! Winners have seven days to claim their prize, after that time, I’ll redraw for a new winner.
