Blurb:

There’s no place like home…especially for a wolf who shouldn’t have run away.

Wylder Aaron always knew Starr Joseph was his mate, but the time wasn’t right for them. To escape his hopeless feelings for her, he fled Los Lobos and joined the military, not even saying goodbye.

Starr wanted nothing more in life than Wylder. When he left, she fled too. Her sultry beauty made her an instant success as the new look for a major cosmetics firm. However, fame is fleeting. At twenty-six, she’s old news and forgotten. Worse, loneliness led her into the arms of another were-shifter with a jealous streak. During his last rage, he slashed the side of her face, promising to kill her the next time she tried to flee.

She did anyway, returning to the safety and anonymity of Los Lobos…straight into Wylder’s arms.

Excerpt:

He gripped the jamb, steadying himself.

She stood at the edge of the lot, facing the bar. The ends of her glossy black hair and the hem of her olive-green T-shirt fluttered in the mild breeze. Otherwise, there was no movement. She might have been posing for a major ad campaign in one of those high fashion magazines, as she had in the past. Who knew what went through her mind being back in town instead.

He wanted to call out, put her at ease. Fearful she might bolt, he dug his thumbnail into the wood and drank her in.

She’d filled out, no longer the slender teen he recalled, her shape womanly now. Battered jeans hugged her sleek thighs. Her tee stretched provocatively across her ample breasts, the nipples pebbled against the soft cotton despite the warm summer day. A faint rose tint added a hint of color to her pale skin.

From her inner heat or embarrassment?

The wind picked up, whipping her hair back. She snatched the locks to keep them over her left ear and edge of her face.

He didn’t have to wonder why. Her mom had told him some of what happened to Starr in Los Angeles. Not enough though.

She regarded both sides of the street. Deserted. Thick forest surrounded the small town, pines creeping up mountainsides, craggy rocks peeking through primordial vegetation. In the distance, young male voices rang out with laughter. Teens likely racing each other to the swimming hole.

Wylder breathed a sigh of relief the kids weren’t headed closer with their snickers, cruel comments, and mocking gazes. Dumbasses. Bullying wasn’t what Starr needed.

She tilted her face.

Their gazes met.

Starr.

His heart turned over, warmth flooding him. She had the face of an angel, her high cheekbones, full mouth, and almond-shaped eyes almost too beautiful to be real. She parted her lips in what might have been surprise, wonder, or yearning. He liked to think longing was on her mind, the same as his.

Her irises shifted from light brown to dark gold, the way they had in the past when she’d teased, wanting to get a rise out of him.

He’d ignored her then, had to. Not any longer. Their time, here and now, had to be right for him to claim her as his mate. What he’d known from the moment he’d become a man.

He smiled. Hell, he grinned, coming perilously close to drooling.

Gold faded to brown in her eyes, her yearning expression turning to hurt then caution. She stepped back.

Shit, she was going to run. He planted his hands on the jamb of the window and leaned out as far as he could without falling. “Starr.”

She pivoted away then faced him again, looking at the bar rather than up toward him. With her narrow shoulders squared, she marched inside.

Tim McGraw’s Live Like You Were Dying stopped abruptly, along with the patrons’ laughter and conversation, everything going dead quiet as though someone had flipped a switch. Or recalled how she’d run away.

To make life even more exciting, the Romantic Times Convention starts next week and I'm going! Yeehaw! That seemed appropriate since I will be part of the Cowboy Corral, will be showing up at Club RT and will, of course, be at the book signing.  At all three places I'll be raffling off masks, so if you're going, please stop by and say hello. https://www.rtconvention.com/  My fellow blogger, Kayce Lassiter, will be there too! I don't know about her, but I've already started packing :-)

On top of all that, I just received the final cover for Eden Discovered! Whoohoo! It's definitely hot! For those who have been waiting patiently to visit Eden again (see left), you'll be happy to know Eden Discovered is being written as I type this :-) Well, I'll get back to it after I'm done here. I'm really enjoying hanging out with Theron, Rekah, and Konala. There's much a foot on that tropical planet of naked men! There's also a lot going on in bed ;-) If you want to be one of the first to see the cover of Eden Discovered, be sure you're on my newsletter list because everyone else will have to wait. I know, I'm such a tease ;-) Here's the sign up http://eepurl.com/D3MqT

I'll try to take a lot of pictures at the RT and get a lot of writing done before then. If I accomplish both, I should have a lot to tell in my next blog spot. Oh wait, what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas. So I guess not ;-)

Always, Lexi

More Sunday Afternoon Musings....

        Well, here we are again, another beautiful Sunday afternoon in sunny Arizona. All my Sunday chores are done and I’m ready to write my blog post for Wednesday (‘cause, you know, I was a girl scout and believe in being prepared)….and therein lies my problem.

         I HAVE NO TOPIC!!!  Nothing!  (See picture...this is what I do when I can't think of a subject!)

         I don’t think this has ever happened to me before….I always come up with something. Yeah, I might procrastinate and not write until Tuesday night (in a panic because 1) the topic was elusive and 2) I need to post for the following day) and I might have several false starts on several different things I wanted to discuss but I can usually come up with an entertaining (well, I hope it’s entertaining) subject.

I can do this. After all, I talk to complete strangers on the elevator and you, dear reader, are no stranger….we’ve visited before.

         So here I sit, my fingers resting on the keys on home row (I took typing classes in High School), my nails clicking on said keys, ready to start writing and yet, my mind is devoid of a single thing. The cursor is blinking—Blink. Blink. Blink—urging me to think faster, reminding me that I need to WRITE SOMETHING!

         Now, when I’m working on one of my stories and I come to a place where the words just aren’t coming and the brain has frozen, I can jump ahead to write a future scene. You’ve heard of pantsers and plotters, right? Well, I’m a puzzler. I write the scenes as they come to me and then I puzzle them together and hope everything makes sense….which is why I’ve already written the Big Black Moment as well as the epilogue on my current work even though I am nowhere near those places. They came to me so they were written. It works for me for the most part although I can’t tell you how many times I’ve ruthlessly deleted those scenes because the story took a different turn.

         Hey, will you look at that? A complete blog post. How do you suppose I accomplished that with no topic? Well, I guess it just goes to prove that I can talk about anything...even if it's nothing.

As always, happy reading!

Marie
