Ooh! Today's spotlight is going to fun! And maybe that's because I've read her books before and they were excellent. Seriously, check her out if you haven't before. Without further ado, here's Ashlee Sinn!
BIO
Ashlee Sinn
fancies all creatures of the paranormal persuasion, especially those who like
to bite. Her steamy romances tend to feature swoon-worthy heroes and kick-ass
heroines. Whether its vampires, weres, or demons, the
women who keep them in line have a special place in her heart. And in her
chaotic head.
LURED BY THE BEAR
The first book
of The Alaska Shifters – a spinoff from The Callaghan Clan books.
BLURB:
Derrick Ward has
always wanted a mate. When all of his friends settle down and start a family,
he wonders if it will ever happen for him. Brandt, his clan leader, has some
females in mind, but Derrick refuses to accept a forced mating. And now the
time has come for the shifters to reveal themselves. Derrick fears that once
the world knows he’s a grizzly, he’ll never be able to find that right person
to fill his den.
Julia Housten
has been in love with Derrick for years. Still recovering from the negative
reputation her father left behind by his failed challenge for clan leader, she
worries that Derrick will never accept her as a potential mate. So when she has
an opportunity to do something good for the clan, she can hardly contain
herself when she learns she’ll be working with Derrick.
The International
Shifter Coalition is moving forward with the big reveal while Julia and Derrick
discover just how perfect they are together. But with the reveal comes a danger
they hadn’t expected. A new threat that could tear them apart looms nearby, and
it will take the whole clan to protect everything, and everyone, they love.
EXCERPT
As I set
down my fork after cleaning my plate of salmon, crab legs, and roasted
potatoes, the smile grew on my face. “I seriously think that was the best
dinner I’ve ever eaten as a human.”
Derrick
smiled and took a drink of his wine. “As a human?”
I
shrugged. “My bear likes raw salmon.”
“Isn’t
that a stereotype?” he teased.
“Maybe,
but it’s true. If you don’t know where I am, check down by the shore.”
“Good to
know,” he said with a wicked grin. Raising his glass, he stretched out his arm
in an offered toast. “To the last day of anonymity.”
The
worry in his face ruined the handsome jawline. “It will be okay,” I said after
I clinked my glass to his.
“Do you
really think so?”
“I do,”
I said, taking a sip. “People aren’t what they used to be. They’re more
tolerable of differences and more curious about the unknown. I mean I think it
will be a little rough for a while, but something else will come along that’s
louder and shinier, and their interest will move on.” When Derrick just stared
at me, I shook my head. “What?”
“Do you
even understand how much I want to take you back to my place right now?”
“Huh?”
Words simply wouldn’t form as the aroma of his bear filled the space around us.
His hand found my knee under the table and the feeling of skin on skin ignited
a fire of need in me that I hadn’t felt before.
“I will
never forgive myself for wasting so much time with you.”
“What do
you mean?”
“I knew
you had a crush on me. The brothers teased me about it all of the time. But I
wouldn’t listen. I refused to listen. Even if, now that I can look back, even
if my bear was trying to tell me otherwise.”
I
swallowed the emotions welling up in my throat. “What are you saying, Derrick?”
“I’m
saying that I want you to be mine. And I wish we hadn’t wasted so much time
getting to this place, but now that we’re here…I don’t ever want us to be away
from each other. These last few days have been torturous for me. My bear wants
you. I want you.” Derrick lifted his hands and reached across the table for my
own. When I placed them inside of his, he smiled. “You’re my mate, and I love
you.”
