Spotlight Blitz, Excerpt & Giveaway: Jaguar Pride (Heart of the Jaguar #4) by Terry Spear

An impossible mission…

JAG Special Forces agents Huntley Anderson and Melissa Overton are hot on the trail of poachers when they’re suddenly saddled with two jaguar shifter cubs. They have to locate the parents, pronto—but who’s going to babysit in the meantime?

A lifetime of possibilities…

Huntley is a rough, tough jaguar shifter and an all-business agent, but he’s not going to let two abandoned youngsters come to any harm on his watch. Seeing her super-manly partner try to get the playful cubs under control stirs up some unexpected desires in Melissa, and she begins to feel like Huntley’s not the only one who’s in over his head…

Once inside the park, Melissa and Huntley trekked for miles, not seeing much of anyone or anything, not with the way the rains were coming down in torrents in the steamy rainforest. They hadn’t found any sign of Jackson. Just a few hikers, hardier than most, who endured the rains and mud to see glimpses of wildlife here and there. When Melissa and Huntley finally set up camp for the night, she felt wet and miserable. And she couldn’t believe how Huntley looked like he could go on for several more hours when she was totally beat.

She should have regretted not sleeping more last night. But making love to him was what she’d needed. Not that she thought anything permanent was likely to come out of the relationship.

Just the same, she’d needed to feel sexy and wanted and loved. Huntley gave that to her and more. So when he’d wanted more, she just couldn’t say no, despite knowing that she needed a good seven hours of sleep to feel normal the next day.

She was thinking of Jackson and how he had slipped away from them the first time. She hoped they’d find him soon. Then gunshots fired off in the distance.

Her heart skipped a couple of beats.

“We don’t have time to take down the tent. Do we go as humans or jaguars?” Huntley quickly asked her.

She loved that about him—how he always included her in the decision making. “If they’re rangers or police, I want to go as humans. Even if they’re poachers, I think we’ll be safer if we look like we are ‘tourists.’ We can always shift when we get there if we need to.”

“Sounds good.”

At least they were armed with tranquilizer guns this time.

Spotlight Blitz, Excerpt & Giveaway: Just in Time for a Highlander (Sirens of the Scottish Borderlands #1) by Gwyn Cready

For Duncan MacHarg, things just got real…

Battle reenactor and financier Duncan MacHarg thinks he has it made—until he lands in the middle of a real Clan Kerr battle and comes face to face with their beautiful, spirited leader. Out of time and out of place, Duncan must use every skill he can muster to earn his position among the clansmen and in the heart of the devastatingly intriguing woman to whom he must pledge his oath.

Abby needs a hero and she needs him now

When Abigail Ailich Kerr sees a handsome, mysterious stranger materialize in the midst of her clan’s skirmish with the English, she’s stunned to discover he’s the strong arm she’s been praying for. Instead of a tested fighter, the fierce young chieftess has been given a man with no measurable battle skills and a damnably distracting smile. And the only way to get rid of him is to turn him into a Scots warrior herself—one demanding and intimate lesson at a time.

“Undine, do you see what your magic has wrought?” Abby stabbed a finger in Duncan’s direction.


The woman gave him a full look and her eyes widened. “Oh. Oh, dear.”


“What magic?” Duncan demanded.


Undine regarded him thoughtfully. “He’s handsome, at least. And tall. That could be useful. But that hair…”


“If I wanted handsome, Rosston would certainly do. He at least wields a real sword.” She took 

Undine by the elbow and turned her away from Duncan. “The poor man appears to have no skills beyond his fists,” she said in a lowered voice. “And I think he’s addled in his head—like Hal the sheep shearer.”


“What were you thinking?” Undine demanded.


“What was I thinking?! ’Twas your herbs.”


“I mean when you opened the paper.”


“I didn’t open the paper. It was shot out of my hand.”


“All of it?!” Undine paled.


“Except for the part that flew in my mouth.” Abby wiped the back of her hand across her tongue and made a sharp sound of disgust. “It tasted like burnt groats.”


Duncan had had enough of being ignored. “What herbs? What magic? What are you talking about? 
Did you bring me here?”


Undine considered. “You could try to make do with him.”


“Make do?!” Abby cried. “You make do with him! Can’t you see this is the last thing I need with the clans right now?” She pulled herself onto the horse. “You need to get rid of him.”


The “get rid of him” made Duncan’s stomach tighten. “No. Wait—”


“Abby?” a voice called from beyond the trees. “Abby, are you there?”


“Oh, God help us, it’s Rosston.” Abby gave Duncan a warning look. “Don’t say another word.”


“No!” Duncan grabbed her pommel. “I want to go home! Send me home! I don’t know what you two witches have done.”


“Silence, you fool.” She jerked the reins in an effort to keep the beast from lurching. The arrow fell from her bow.


A kilted clansman crested the rise.


“You, there!” Duncan called to the man. “Help me. These women have—”


Duncan felt a thwack on the head, and the world went dark.

Olivia reached for Max, pulling him to her, feeling his resistance and knowing when he finally gave up fighting what he wanted. What they both wanted.

She cupped the back of his head and brought his mouth to hers in a kiss she didn’t even pretend was part of reassurance. It was all heat and fury and relief that both of them had come through the incident all right.

He made a sound deep in his throat. A sound of surrender, she decided, as the kiss changed its focus. She had been the aggressor to start with. Now he took that role, and if she had been surer of him, she would have thought that he was staking his claim on her.

He gathered her close, his hands fumbling for the belt of the robe, opening the tie and letting the belt ends drop to the side before he swept the edges of the garment out of the way.
