Once again, I’m participating in My Sexy Saturday. To quote the My Sexy Saturday site, “This week’s theme is A Sexy Paranormal Love and this is all about those pesky shapeshifters, vampires, demon hunters, angels or any other paranormal event or creature that graces the pages of our romances. Show us your most romantic or frustration relationships all with a flair for the paranormal.”

My most recent release is a kinky contemporary, but I’ve written a paranormal series, Duals and Donovans: The Different. This series arc is complete, but I plan to write a second series that involves the Donovan witches and their interactions with a powerful wolf dual (shapeshifter) pack. Mostly I’m liking that idea because the Donovans produce very alpha old ladies, as Irish American clans tend to do, and I foresee lots of fun spats between them and the older alpha male wolves while the younger people  enjoy romantic and erotic sparks. (Maybe the mature characters can go from spats to sparks too. Older heroes and heroines deserve fun too.)

Without further ado, here’s a fun snippet from the first Duals and Donovans, Lions’ Pride, for My Sexy Saturday. For context, witch Elissa’s lion dual husband Jude has been kidnapped. To help rescue him, she calls upon Rafe, a cougar dual cop who’s been towing the party line and suppressing his paranormal side with drugs. (To be clear, that’s cougar as in mountain lion, for those who just read Drive, which features the other kind of cougar!) But when she starts using her magic around him, things get interesting–as in sexy.

“Do you feel that?” Rafe’s whisper was awestruck, almost frightened. “Where you’re touching me, I’m waking up. Like you’re siphoning off the Drozz and bringing me back to life. Something’s dancing inside me, Elissa, and you’re doing it.”

Dancing? Without magic, he shouldn’t feel the dancing.

“Impossible,” she said, although her palms were heated and tingling as though she was working magic on him. As though she was negating the drug.

That was all she said, because he kissed her.

Her mind screamed that this was the wrong man, that the right man was out there in danger and she was kissing someone else, someone she wasn’t even sure she could trust.

Her body didn’t care.

His lips caressed hers gently until her mouth opened against her conscious will. Then he groaned into her and pulled her closer and began to ravage her as if she were prey for his long-neglected cougarside.

More on Lions’ Pride:

Elissa Donovan is a real green witch—when she and her lion-shapeshifter husband have sex, the blazing heat is recycled to warm their house. Now her beloved Jude has been kidnapped by a shadowy government agency, and the last place she can turn for help is her high-powered family, who considers her magic mediocre.

When Rafe Benedict gets Elissa’s call for muscle to back up her magic, he risks his law enforcement career to answer. He’s spent a lifetime hiding his Dual ability, but something about Elissa and Jude’s magic awakens the cougar within him.

Tempting, bronzed Rafe is the perfect fuse for Elissa’s sex-fueled magic. Danger lies in breaking her vows; joining with anyone other than her true mate could not only send her marriage up in flames, it could burn out her powers in a last, all-or-nothing explosion. But Jude is worth the risk. And for Rafe, potential heartbreak is nothing next to the chance to help the two people he’s coming to love.

First, though, Rafe needs a crash course in Cougar
