It's Available - Cherished Is HERE!!

Yep, you read right! Cherished is finally available on Amazon, Barnes & Noble and Smashwords!! I am SOO excited because here is everyone's chance to see just how amazing Darcy and Mason are. We saw how strong Darcy was in Without Mercy and we cried for her as she was put in the most horrible of situations. We saw a glimpse of Mason and many were intrigued. Well, Cherished is ALL them as they deal with the aftermath of Without Mercy and early readers have shared - SWOON!! Here's an excerpt to tempt you!


There was something erotic about the way he moved over me, his heated build pressed hard against mine. I couldn’t help the way my body reacted as I arched into his touch and sighed with deep contentment. When Mason found a certain sensitive spot, one he loved to tease me with, I decided I’d had enough and reached for him.
One moment my hands were touching him and the next they were pinned to the bed while he looked down at me wickedly. “Patience, Darcy. I’m not finished.  There’s one more place I haven’t savored.”
I held my breath, desire coursing through me and almost lost my mind as he nestled into my neck, nipping and sucking at the tender flesh. It was definitely a weakness of mine, the feel of his teeth and lips, the brushing of heated breath. I squirmed against him, trying to break from his restraining grip. All it did was add fuel to the fire already building between us.
      “Mason, you’re killing me here. Please.” I wasn’t beneath begging for him to kiss me.


*sigh* I'm not ashamed to admit I fell HEAVILY for Mason. He's perfect!

You can buy a copy of your own at:

Amazon /  Barnes & Noble / Smashwords

To celebrate, I have TWO ecopies of Cherished to offer today! All you need do to enter is be a follower of this blog and leave you name/email in the comments!

Exciting News - Cherished Is Finished!


I am so excited! I just sent off the finished copy of Cherished to my editor so I'm just one step closer to releasing it. I'm sitting here with a warm tingly feeling, going over in my mind the publishing checklist:

Finished story - CHECK
Kick ass cover - CHECK
Tempting blurb - CHECK
Help with formatting - CHECK
Eager readers waiting patiently - CHECK, CHECK, CHECK!

Other things going through my mind is whether to do a giveaway blitz for Cherished or because it's bigger (Yep, I was paying attention to everyone saying Without Mercy wasn't long enough LOL) should I do a blog tour with guest posts, interviews and teasers. I'm really leaning towards the later. It's a great way to spread the word and give some insight into the lives of Darcy, Mason and the Mystic Wolves. I know I'd like to know more about them LOL

If all goes well, the release date will be sometime in the next week or two. That's the beauty of self publishing - once you have all your ducks in order and confident you've got the best possible product, there's no waiting!

I'm excited to see what everyone thinks because unlike Without Mercy, Cherished is a lot more romance focused and focuses solely on the kind of relationship Mason and Darcy have. There's no action ... well there is but it's the good kind *insert wink* and judging from the way I sighed while I wrote it and the swooning from my beta readers, I'm pretty confident you'll be okay without the drama!

Just in case you haven't seen the cover or read the blurb, I'll leave you with it. This really has been an amazing experience. Thank you soo much for all your support. I love you guys!

 
Can Darcy let go of the shame of failure consuming her or will Mason convince her that after all is said and done, she truly is… cherished?

For a moment, Darcy almost convinced herself the last twelve hours didn’t happen. As image after image hits her, the sinking realization of all she’s lost overwhelms her and all she can think of is to run. Run far away where her shame can’t find her, and most of all, where she’ll never have to see the look of blame in Mason’s eyes. Feeling like a complete failure, she scrambles to make plans. But the voice of her mate-to-be penetrates her frantic thoughts, asking for the chance to show her just how much she is loved.

It hurts Mason deeply to hear Darcy’s thoughts, knowing the events of the previous night have completely rattled her. Grieving over the death of his beloved sister Jasmine, Mason knows he has to act fast. Darcy is all he’s ever wanted and the idea of life without her is unacceptable. Armed with his unswerving love and wolfish charm, he sets out to remind Darcy just how valuable she is and why there is no one else for him but her.

Holding Onto The SQUEE Moments

I have to say I'm a little stunned. Never in my wildest dreams would I have imagined the kind of response I've had with Without Mercy. I've been squeeing in my bedroom since it's release because I don't ever want to seem boastful but I've been told that I should celebrate and share my excitement because truthfully, my success is everyone's success. I wouldn't have been able to do this without the LOVE and SUPPORT from you all. From those that cheerlead me from the sidelines each day, to the countless well wishes and comments on Twitter and Facebook. From all those that encourage me to write and follow my dreams and do all they can to see it happen. This is as much for me as it is for you... THANK YOU!


So, since I'm squeeing, did you know?
Without Mercy was ranked:
#5 on Amazon's Best Sellers list for Urban Fantasy anthologies
#9 on Amazon's Hottest New Releases list for Urban Fantasy anthologies
#5 on Smashword's Best Sellers list for Urban Fantasy

Unbelievable, right?

I also have some amazing friends because I got this fun surprise in my email box:
