She looked dubious. “Like, on your back?”
“Sure thing. We’ll get there a lot faster without you stumbling along in the dark. Remember, I can understand you just fine, even if I can’t answer back, so if I start to go the wrong way—well, let me know.”
“Yeah, I can do that,” she said dismissively. “So, you’re brilliant plan is...?”
“Once we’re at your cousins’ place, we’ll be able to check out the SD card and see if there’s any chance of saving the cellphone or reader, so we’ll know how deep of shit we’re in. We’ll get clean and dry and I’ll screw your brains out, and we might even sleep a little. And tomorrow, we’ll reassess.”
“As a plan to save our asses, that seems to be a bit sketchy,” she said.
He smiled slowly. “But as a plan to get through the night....”

Curvy Harper Bailey’s ordinary life was turned upside down by a chance encounter with the handsome werewolf Levi Harris. On the run from the vampire mafia, he pulls her into his high-stakes world—and straight into the crosshairs. Now she’s got no car, no job, and not even any dry clothes.
To make matters worse, Harper’s falling for Levi hard at the most inconvenient time. And he seems to be developing some very definite ideas where she’s concerned, ideas she’s not so sure she wants to be a part of.
Harper just wants to get through the next couple of days alive—and heart intact. Whatever Levi’s plans might be.

The Alpha’s Captive is a novelette serial that comes out on the first Tuesday of every month. When the serial finishes, it will be collected into an omnibus/boxed set edition. If you like this book and want to try out my other serial (with installments that run about twice as long), try Life Blood, the first in the Cora’s Choice serial. It comes out on the third Tuesday of every month.
I’m currently working exclusively in the Aethereal Bonds world, which I’ve mapped out to be big enough to let me tell all the different kinds of stories I want to share with readers. It’s got vampires, demons, weres, faes and more—all sorts of creatures that are great fun to play with.
I live near Washington, D.C., with my family. A proud geek, I love fantasy, romance, science fiction, and historical fiction.
