was a blast to write!

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:
Starr sagged into him,
lost in his heat and strength. Bad move for someone who claimed to want peace
and solitude, but she couldn’t help herself. She had needed to taste him for
twelve years, dreamed of his stubble rasping her cheeks, his tongue deep within
her mouth, possessing her.
He eased her closer, his
grip steel, unwilling to let her go. He drove his fingers into her hair and
cupped her skull, keeping her still in order to plunder her
mouth.
A whimper rose to the
base of her throat, the sound muffled by his tongue and the blood pounding in
her ears. Never had she been as alive, her body molded to his, fitting
perfectly. God, she wanted to drown in his effortless masculinity, laze in his
kindness.
Whatever she wanted,
he’d said.
This, for now. Later,
who knew?
He’d hurt her beyond
words years before. She understood he hadn’t meant to. However, the pain had
lingered and grown, leaving her unsure about men. She’d never had a father to
teach her how guys thought or behaved, only Wylder. He’d been her instructor
without realizing he was even playing the role. She came to expect every guy to
be like him, running from her as he had, leaving her uncertain and
lonely.
Kade had been different,
his intensity a comfort rather than setting off alarms. What a fool she’d been.
No more. She had to take things slow no matter what her heart and body
wanted.
Wylder ran his thumb
over her throat, pulling a new moan from her. Forgetting control, she sucked
his tongue deeper, not yet content, wanting to be a part of his heart, blood,
and soul. Would she ever have
enough?
She’d followed him to
his job, this store, and Gee’s, hoping to get some relief from her endless
craving rather than whetting her appetite for more. At least Wylder hadn’t
laughed at her foolish stalking. If he had, she would have died even more
inside. Instead, he’d made himself available, almost too visible as he’d never
had in the past.
Because he was a changed
man, she a changed woman, things could work
out.
In
time.
She pulled her mouth
free again, her lips stinging from the force of their kiss.
“Uh-uh, we’re not
through.” He brought her right back, practically devouring her, the same as she
did with him, her leg wrapped around his, arms wreathed over his shoulders, the
noises they made sloppy, joyous,
uncontrolled.
“Ah,
guys?”
She froze. He didn’t,
grunting and groaning. With her palm on his chest, she pushed him back, freeing
herself. Quickly, she smoothed her hair on the left
side.
A friend of her mom
glanced past her to him and gestured to the candy rack. “I just need the
gumdrops and I’ll be on my way.”
Wylder pulled every pack
off the metal pole and handed them to
her.
She smiled wanly.
“Thanks.”
“Welcome.” He snaked his
arm around Starr’s waist again.
She elbowed his
gut.
His breath puffed out.
He dropped his arm. “What was that
for?”
“Enough of the kissing.
All right?”
“Hell no.” He crowded
her.
She stood her ground and
lifted her chin. Her days of being a pushover for any man were
history.
His shoulders drooped.
He gave her one of those don’t-be-mad-at-me smiles guys used at one time or
another to get their way.
She wasn’t
moved.
He sobered. “You want to
go outside?”
“No.”
“Where?”
“Home.”
“Whose?”
“Mine.”
His eyebrows shot up.
“Your mom’s there, right?” He scratched his neck. “Won’t she mind if we, uh,
you know….”
He didn’t need to draw
her a picture. “No, she won’t mind, because we aren’t going
to.”
His shoulders slumped
again. “You mean today, right?”
Hell, he was asking her
as though she knew. “I wanted to kiss you. That’s
all.”
“Wait.” He held up his
hand, grew thoughtful, and stared. “Since you have kissed me, you don’t want to
anymore, ever? Was I that bad?”
Her legs were still
wobbly, her insides and brain reduced to mush. She was still using all her will
to retain her dignity. If she hadn’t, she would have dropped to the floor,
drooling like the unhinged. “Seriously, you need to
ask?”
His cheeks reddened.
“Only with you.”
Because she mattered or
because she hadn’t given him two thumbs up? “I have to go.”
He grabbed her wrist.
“Why? We can have a beer, take a walk,
talk.”
Not with her tangled
thoughts, they couldn’t. They’d end up in his room, humping away. Gee’s patrons
would hear every whap of the bed against the floor and wall. She was already
tense whenever the pack members spotted her, not knowing what they might say.
Adding more gossip wouldn’t help. Once her and Wylder’s kiss in here zipped
through the town’s supersonic grapevine, everyone would be looking at her as
though she had three heads instead of two, like they were currently
doing.
She yanked her arm away.
“Bye.” She fled the building and raced past the vehicles in the lot, reaching
the road.
“Starr Joseph, stop, I
mean it!”
She jerked at Wylder’s
shout and turned.
He was yards away,
sunlight glancing off his silky hair, the rays glinting in his light eyes. His
eyebrows and stubble were nearly black, his skin rich and fragrant, the scent
drifting toward her with the
breeze.
She bit back a wanton
moan.
He pointed his finger at
her. “You’re my mate, understand? Sooner or later—and I predict much, much
sooner—we are getting together. Believe it.”

About Tina:
I’m an Amazon and international
bestselling novelist in erotic, paranormal, contemporary and
historical romance
for Kensington, Samhain Publishing, Ellora’s Cave, Siren
Publishing, Booktrope,
Luminosity, Decadent, and indie.
Booklist, Publisher’s Weekly,
Romantic
Times
and numerous online sites have praised my
work. Three of my erotic novels
(Freeing the Beast, Come and Get Your Love, and
Wicked Takeover) were Readers' Choice
Award winners. Another three (Adored,
Lush Velvet Nights,
and Deep, Dark,
Delicious
) were named finalists in the EPIC
competition. Sensual Stranger, my erotic contemporary
romance, was chosen Book of the Year at the French review
site Blue Moon
reviews. The Golden Nib Award at Miz Love Loves Books was
created specifically
for my erotic romance Lush Velvet Nights.
Two of my titles (The Yearning and
Deep, Dark, Delicious) received an Award
of Merit in the RWA Holt Medallion competition.
Take Me Away
and
Adored both
won second place in the NEC RWA contest (different years).
I’m featured in the Novel
& Short Story Writer’s Market. Before penning
romances, I worked at a major
Hollywood production company in Story
Direction.
On a
less serious note: I’m an
admitted and unrepentant chocoholic, I brake for Mexican
restaurants, and have
been known to moan like Meg Ryan in When
Harry Met Sally
while I’m wolfing down tostadas.
I’ve flown a single-engine
airplane (freaking scary), rewired an old house using an
‘electricity for
dummies’ book, and am horribly shy despite the hot romances
I write.
