Sometimes you just gotta shake off the weight of everyday things and let your hair down. Of course, when you’re a shapeshifter running with the pack, that takes on a whole different meaning. Especially when those friends are princes in the House of Terriot, the dark, deadly and delicious heroes from my just released 4-book boxed set! Trust has to be earned, as in this scene from Rise by Moonlight, the next and final book in my By Moonlight series that follows on the heels of The House of Terriot boxed set.
I’m in the final stretch of revisions, so while I’m getting Rise by Moonlight into shape for a release in July (!), I’m giving readers a chance to run with the wild boy brothers of my new House of Terriot 4-book boxed set that leads up to the events in the concluding book of the series. Even after proof-reading all four books several times (until my eyes crossed!), I confess, I still love each and every one of them!
They were impressive, all taut flesh pulled over muscles hard as violently hewn rock, each ruggedly beautiful physique marred with harsh imperfections caused by unimaginable things. They moved almost eerily in sync, not speaking as they breathed in the wildness of the dawn before jogging across the yard.
“Go ahead.”
Max gave a start and glanced her way.
“Go with them. You know you want to.” When he hesitated, she gave him a nudging, “You can work any day, but how often do you get to play outside with your friends? Hurry before they get too far ahead.”
They’d disappeared into the thick woods by the time Max slipped out through the French doors, leaving his designer suit coat, linen shirt, tie and Italian loafers trailing behind him.
To run.
Here’s a little reminder of why . . .
So, when I say, “Is it H.o.T. in here or is it just me?” No, it’s them!
I’m hoping one of things busting out all over this Spring isn’t the seams of my summer clothes! How ‘bout you? What are your plans when you’re finally allowed to run wild (but responsibly!)?
