What's Up, Buttercup? (Vexatious Valkyries Book 1)
Page 32
“You always know what buttons to press to rev my engines.” Stephanie bobbed upwards, planting a soft yet heated kiss on those gorgeous lips of his. It felt the most natural thing in the world, kissing him. She didn’t feel one bit self-conscious or hesitant. Deep inside she felt this rock solid calmness, a rightness that Galen Darvyn was hers. Mind, body, soul and heart. And she was likewise his. Nothing could shake that foundation.
Who would have thought it, a Valkyrie and a Conflict Demon mating? They were going to have so much fun tearing up the world together.
Galen smiled and laughed. He loved this woman more than his own life. The fact she could so easily, carelessly kiss him now, it filled him with joy. Hmmm, and just think, one morning very soon he would wake and be mated Knustabber. Just as the good Lord Lucifer intended. More powerful and physically stronger. He couldn’t wait to challenge his new mate to a sparring session. He might even be able to give her a run for her money. Stephanie would love that.
Absently he glanced down at the legal claim in his hand, observing it had been notarised. His Valkyrie didn’t miss a trick. “Hey, this has me listed under the heading of livestock.”
“You have a problem with that?”
Galen didn’t even have to think before replying. “Moo.”

To Woo a Warrior
(Book One – Southern Sanctuary)
At six-foot-six, Hadleigh Valhalla would rather be fighting than flirting. She loves working as an Enforcer, protecting her magically enhanced, eccentric, extended family on a daily basis from all kinds of supernatural nasties. Much preferring to be out there beheading the baddies than dating any day of the week… much less stressful.
But a new threat appears on the horizon. Great-Aunt Alma, the wily family matchmaker, is back in town and has set her sights on all the singletons. In order to avoid Alma’s matchmaking machinations, Hadleigh finds herself signing on as the newest member of the hit reality TV show: Paranormal Exterminators.
Vaughn, Captain of the Goddess Maat’s Elite Warriors, has a mission, to find and annihilate all magical beings that threaten to cause chaos in the mundane world. A paranormal reality TV show provides the perfect cover.
A series of mishaps means it’s a race against time for Vaughn and Hadleigh to discover just who is targeting the show and stop them before someone gets seriously hurt or dead. While doing so, Vaughn intends to teach Hadleigh to break all the rules and prove to her she is the perfect warrior for him.
One For the Wedding
(Book One – By the Numbers)
It was the society wedding of the year. A four day party extravaganza during which steel heiress Jami Creswell would wed nut and bolt heir Damian Olsen. Event organiser Ryan Callan thought she’d planned for every possible contingency.
But never in her wildest dreams could she have imagined that she’d bump into the magnetic Chase McNeil whilst she was wearing nothing but a smile. What happened next between them really wasn’t her fault. He was the one who flirted with her …. she only flirted back in self-defence. The bridesmaids have completely misinterpreted the whole thing and forming a posse to wreck vengeance on her life is just going way too far.
Then the bride goes missing! What else could possibly go wrong at this wedding? Only a murder, that’s what.
When an unidentified body turns up on the big day everything is threatening to come down around Ryan’s ears. With her business reputation on the line it’s up to Ryan to solve the mystery of the dead body, find the bride and work out just exactly what is going on between her and Chase McNeil.
Solve murder – check
Find bride – check
Stop flirting with Chase McNeil – urm… let me get back to you on that one.
