Eternal by J. A. Belfield: Spotlight and Giveaway!

Announcing the latest installment in the Holloway Pack series by J. A. Belfield, Eternal, released July 2nd!

Blurb:

An unmarried woman living in a house of men breeds hearsay and lore. If only the villagers knew the truth.

It’s not Jem Stonehouse’s marital status that brings unwanted strangers to town. Rather, it’s that she is the only female werewolf in existence — a prize to any pack.

Sean Holloway, the love of Jem’s life, has gone to great lengths to protect her. As a new attack becomes imminent, Sean realizes he must take greater measures with Jem’s safety or risk losing her forever.

His first task must be to marry her, but a force greater than the largest werewolf stands in his way.

Her mother.

Want more? Here’s an excerpt:

Bodies coated in sweat, we clung to each other as we neared climax. Eyes locked. Breaths synchronised. Even our hearts beat to the same rhythm.

With each of his upward thrusts, bark bit into my back, gasps spilling from my lips.

His tongue darted out for a taste as the glaze of desire seeped into his eyes. “Stay with me, Jem.” His voice came out as a breathy murmur, but I heard him clearly; I always did.

“I am with you always,” I whispered.

My legs tightened around his hips as his hands found my shoulders. Nose nuzzling against my neck, he suckled, nibbled, and raised his lips to my ear. “Now.”

I threw my head back, grasping at him. My cries mingled with his deep growls, and together, our muscles tightened before becoming languid with release.

As he drew back, breaths still slightly erratic, a smile tugged at his lips. “Blood remains upon your cheek.”

“’Tis your own doing.” I raised an eyebrow in blame. “You have failed in your attempts to groom me once too often.”

He chuckled. “Fox becomes you.”

“And rabbit becomes you, Sean. Yet, I see no traces from the hunt upon your face.”

I laughed as he swung me down to the ground, sobering when he began moving inside me once more.

His mouth returned to mine, his chest brushed my breasts, hands touching me with tenderness even in their urgency. “Hunt with me again, Jem,” he whispered against my lips.

I smiled as my knees lifted, as I pushed up to greet each drive of his hips, the invitation arousing me further. “You know I will.”

“But no more foxes.” His lips twitched.

I shuddered beneath the high shine of his dark eyes and the heat of his body but gave no response to his order.

As Alpha to the pack, we all would obey his word without question—a respect he, himself, had failed to show his brother, the Alpha before him.

“Jem.” His attempt at admonishment stalled the flow of his movements.

I lifted my nose to his throat and inhaled the male musk redolent only of him, feathering my lips across the flesh there.

Jem.” The deep drawn-out growl of my name vibrated against my ear.

My lips curved. “I shall not eat the foxes, as you so kindly request … on the condition that you supply me with an adequate dose of freshly caught rabbit whilst I bask in the moonlight and groom away the traces you missed.”

His chuckle told me he had taken my words with the humour intended rather than as a question of his authority. “As you wish.” He claimed my mouth with his usual fervour. “To have you at my side,”—he worked his way along my jawline—“in my arms,”—his teeth nipped at my earlobe—“forever mine … I shall happily provide you with an endless—”

The stiffening of his body brought immediate tension to my own. “Sean, what is it?”

Whew!  And they were just skinning carcasses. What’d you think they were doing? 😉

Back of the Book

Sacrificial Oath by Terri Rochenski

An impetuous act unwittingly makes Alesuela the fulfillment of the Sovereign’s Blood Oath to their Goddess. In five days, she’ll be forced to make the greatest choice of her life: become the virginal sacrifice already promised, or force the man she loves most to die in her place.

With an impossible choice in front of her, she searches for ways to undo the oath, and in her quest, finds not everything in her life is as she expects.

The Amulet of Ormisez by J. Keller Ford

There is only one way to save Elton Fletcher’s brother from an insanity-ridden death.

After years away from home, fighting for his people, Elton returns to discover his only sibling, Cayden, possessed by greed and malice, and responsible for malicious, unthinkable deeds. Cayden, though, isn’t the only one afflicted by the Amulet of Ormisez, and Elton finds himself in yet another battle, where the price of failure could be his own life.

Birthright by Lynda R. Young

Christa can mask the pain and hide the scars, but running from a birthright is impossible.

She’s tried to escape her grief by fleeing to a small town in Florida. Much to her frustration, the locals think they recognize her even though she’s never been there before. To make things worse, a man named Jack spouts outrageous theories about her.

Both spur Christa to bolt, to start fresh yet again, but there’s something about Jack that intrigues her enough to stay. The only problem? Someone else wants her to leave, and they won’t stop until she’s dead.

Petrified by Kelly Said

A mysterious storm has replaced summer with winter, devastating crops and smothering Castle lands in snow. Prince Sterling August stands alone as a leader, lost in personal grief as well as a desire to help his people but with an inability to do either.

The answers he needs await him, but without Lochlyn, a woman who’s just as isolated as Sterling, he’ll never see what stands before him, cloaked in illusion.

Last Winter Red by Jennifer M. Eaton

Emily is a Red, a woman whose sole purpose in life is to produce offspring. When her husband dies and leaves her childless, she risks her life and forsakes the safety of Terra—a disease-free city born after the nuclear holocaust. Beyond its boundaries, she knows, survives a man with whom she can be properly paired.

The Outside, though, holds secrets the government struggles to keep, and what Emily discovers on her quest for a mate will change her life forever.

Escort to Insanity by J.A. Belfield

From a charity auction, to a stroll in the park, to the craziest night of her life. Nicole Harrington can’t help but wonder how a simple event went so drastically wrong.

Of course, the male escort she booked is wholly to blame. Not only charming but shrewdly intelligent, Benjamin Gold drags Nicole into a platoon of unimaginable problems—ones from which she’ll have to find the courage just to survive.
