Caging the
Wolf by Sofia Grey
Jessie has fallen in love with the perfect guy, Levi, but there’s one
tiny problem. The blue-eyed hunk only exists in her dreams.
I’m a 40-on-the-outside / 20-on-the-inside girl with a passion for the
simple things in life. As long as they include wine, chocolate and rock music,
I’m good. When I’m not either herding project managers (at work), cats (at
home) or cub scouts (in what passes for spare time…) I’m curled up with my
Kindle or my laptop. To me, writing is as addictive as reading and I can’t
manage unless I have both.
Caging the Wolf excerpt
I dreamed of home, and Christmas shopping. I sat
on a wooden bench in my local shopping mall, the giant Trafford Centre, and
gazed at the opulent decorations strung from the glass ceiling. Busy shoppers
hurried past me, the usual crowds, but even though I’d shopped here a thousand
times, it now felt alien.
I felt, rather than saw, someone take the space
next to me. A glance to my side revealed a young man. He sprawled against the
bench seat, one arm insolently thrown across the back, as though we were a
couple.
I gave him a proper look. Messy, dark hair fell
to his chin, and thick stubble raked his cheeks, making him look as though he’d
stumbled here straight from his bed. A black T-shirt hugged his chest, and
worn, dark jeans clung to strong thighs. The denim looked soft and much-washed,
and I dragged my gaze up from his crotch, to meet twinkling—startling—blue
eyes. Where had I seen eyes like that before?
A lazy grin broke out on his face, and my cheeks
heated. He couldn’t have missed the way I’d been staring at him. With his dark
tan, and perfect white teeth, he looked far too exotic to be sitting in a
Manchester shopping mall.
“Hi, Jess.”
The rational part of me questioned how he knew my
name. The rest of me wanted to swoon at his voice. Deep, and husky, it reminded
me of salted caramel chocolate—velvety, but with a dangerous edge. It also had
a lilting accent that was familiar. He was a Kiwi.
“I’m
sorry, do I know you?” My polite English upbringing stepped forward, even
though I’d never seen him before. I couldn’t forget someone so delicious.
A Cowboy’s
Christmas Wish by Sorcha Mowbray
When rancher Ford Grayson saunters out of Melissa Adams’ past and into
her bar, she’s determined to take him for a ride and kick him to the curb.
Payback’s a bitch. But, the cowboy is determined to make his very own Christmas
wish come true.
Sorcha
Mowbray is a mild mannered office worker by day…okay, so she is actually a
mouthy, opinionated, take charge kind of gal who bosses everyone around; but
she definitely works in an office. At night she writes romance so hot she sets
the sheets on fire! Just ask her slightly singed husband.
She is a
long time lover of historical romance, having grown up reading Johanna Lindsey
and Judith McNaught. Then she discovered Thea Devine and Susan Johnson. Holy cow!
Heroes and heroines could do THAT? From there, things devolved into trying her
hand at writing a little smexy. Needless to say, she liked it and she hopes you
do too!

Gift by Jocelyn Dex

resist Argoth, the sex demon, who inflames her desire and reveals a truth that
turns her world upside down.

of the night.

romance about yummy demons that would make your momma blush.

Furry
Christmas by Sotia Lazu
Alice’s lonely holidays take an interesting turn when a stray dog walks
into her life. Little does she know he could be her Prince Charming, if only
she believed in magic.
Sotia loves romances with a twist and urban fantasy novels, always with
vivid erotic elements. Her favorite characters to write are not conventional
hero-material at first glance, and she enjoys making them fight for their
happiness.
Sotia shares her life and living quarters with her husband, their son, and
two rescue dogs, one of which may be part-pony. Sappy movies make her bawl like
a baby, and she wishes she could take in all the stray dogs in the world. Also,
she hates mornings!
