Blurb:
Theo’s
sole purpose for the last ninety-eight years was to protect his wolf. That
changed the moment he met Drew and the wolf called ‘Mate’.
Carrying
the soul of an extinct wolf alongside your own isn’t easy. Swapping into said
wolf is even harder. Ask Theo Grey—he’s been doing it for ninety-eight years.
Yet, after surviving two world wars, witnessing the space race and patiently
enduring the eighties, you’d think he’d have seen it all, but nothing could have
prepared him for meeting Tofino’s new vet, Drew O’Bannion and according to the
wolf, his mate.
Drew
loves her dog, sleeping in and coffee. She also loves being a vet. The main
reason behind her accepting the veterinarian practice offered to her from a family
friend. Hoping for a slower pace at life Tofino seemed the ideal spot. What she
didn’t expect was Officer Theo Grey. Theo is tall, dark and drop dead gorgeous,
a definite 10 on the ‘wow’ scale. Regardless of his looks, there is more to
Theo, there is her unexpected attraction for him. It’s unnerving and completely
out of character for her, but she is able to match Theo’s hungry kiss, for
hungry kiss.
With
their desire growing at an alarming rate and the threat of an unknown shooter
roaming the woods of the coastal town, Theo must face the ultimate decision—let
Drew go for her own safety or claim his mate for all time.

Advisory: This story contains scenes of violence and threats of non-consensual
sex
Going
on a weekend getaway was what real life couples did. She hadn’t even spent an
entire night with him and despite what she secretly wanted he was always gone
in the morning. What if he didn’t like what he saw when he woke up?
Holy
shit!
Her
heart pounded, which in turn caused her to breathe faster.
“Drew?”
Connie asked. “You okay?”
“Yeah,
fine.” She turned to her office, on the verge of hyperventilating. Damn it, she
was going to turn into one of her friends.
“Liar,”
Connie said from behind her. “What’s wrong? Are you that nervous about being
alone with Theo?”
Drew
spun to face her friend and threw her arms up into the air. “I’m not a morning
person, Connie, and I just don’t think I have it in me to get up before him so
I can fix my makeup.”
“Wait,
what?” Connie asked.
“I’m
going to turn into my friends. They get up before their dates and reapply their
makeup so they look good the next morning.”
“That’s
what you’re worried about?” Connie burst out laughing. “You’re worried about a
makeup hangover?”
“Yes!”
Drew jammed her hands on her hips. “What if he doesn’t like—?”
Me.
She whispered the word in her head for fear that she would shout it out loud.
What if he doesn’t like the real me?
“Whoa.”
Connie smiled. “Theo is in serious ‘like’ with you, he’s not going to care
about your makeup. I thought you two already had sex?”
“We
have.” Drew crossed her arms as her cheeks flushed.
“Then
what did you do the last time?”
Drew
shrugged. “My makeup was already off and he never stays over.”
“Then
there you go. Take it off and let him see that beautiful skin. As for not being
a morning person, that will change. Waking up next to a man is sweaty fun,
trust me.”
Connie
wiggled her eyebrows before sauntering over to her desk. “Besides,” she called
out, “there are a lot of other things you should worry about.”
“Like?”
“You
could always fart in your sleep.”
Groaning,
Drew covered her face.
Hi everyone, now please welcome back
Nancy Adams! This is her 2nd time on my blog, and since I’ve already
interviewed you once Nancy, I decided to pick some new questions for you. Are
you ready?
Hi again!
Yup! I’m ready.
Hit it!
The big question: Do you prefer ebooks
or paperbacks?
Oh boy! How to
answer...if I say paperback, the ebook groupies will think I’m a snob and if I
say ebooks, the paperback crowd will call me traitor.
So I think I’ll
just be political correct and go with BOTH. LOL Actually there are pros and
cons to both. I love the feel of the paper and the smell of the ink and there
is something thrilling about have my name and a story I created in print. But
paperback are bulky and take up lots of room. Ebooks however are slim and easy
to carry and you have hundreds of books with at any given time plus you can
access millions more all without leaving your home.
How do you come up with your covers? Do
you design them yourself, or do you have a designer?
My covers are
designed for me. Totally Bound has a brilliant group of artists working in
their art department. They take the Author’s visions and turn into beautiful
covers.
What 5 words would you use to describe your main characters?
Theo –
domineering, protective, hardened, lonely, warrior
Drew – impulsive,
insecure, compassionate, hardworking, sarcastic
Wolf – feral,
curious, fearless, wise, loyal
So, where are you on your writing list
right now? Any new releases coming out, new projects in the works?
I’m working on
three different stories right now.
A follow up to my
Time-travel romance No Matter When, a futuristic sci-fi romance, and another
paranormal romance. Yikes...even when I type it out it sound crazy working on
all three at once.
Alright, we are now entering the rapid
fire round, so first thing to cross your mind. Ready...go!
Vampire or Werewolf (or other)?
Werewolf...of course!
Ghosts, Real or Myth? Real...SO FREAKING REAL!!!
Twilight, Cool or Ick? I like Jacob...that’s it.
For the inner foodie...Dark or Milk
Chocolate? MILK
Sit Down Dinner or Fast Food? Sit down
every night 5:30 SHARP!
Eat In or Eat Out? Eat out... Is it bad that I just
giggled?
Cook or Clean Up? Neither, I hate both.
And now for the sexy...Handcuffs or Blindfolds? Oh my blindfold please.
Leather or Lace? Lace
Kinky or Vanilla Sex? A little of
column A & a little of column B

Author Bio and Links:
I
am a full-blooded Canadian, right down to the maple syrup running through my
veins. I enjoy watching hockey, but despise skating...and the cold. I enjoy a good helping of Tourtiere with a
side of Poutine as must as the next person, yet I am only bilingual when it
comes to swear words. I am proud to say
I survived my token shot of Newfie Screech, although I did refuse to kiss the
Cod - that is never going to happen - and I openly admit, that I fell in love
with the Rocky Mountains the first time I saw them.
I
have many occupations written down in my passport, mom, wife,
author...zookeeper! However, I have to
say that writing is by far the easiest part of my day.
I
have three small -but legal- addictions: bed lines, lavender, and books. All of which, are replenished on a regular
basis. Reading into the wee hours of the
morning, is one of many bad habits, next to spontaneously rearranging furniture
and randomly painting rooms in my house.
